Mangalore, March 20: Hosangadi village in Dakshina Kannada on Saturday received the sanitation award in Bangalore, instituted as part of the Total Sanitation Campaign, at the gram panchayat level.




Conferring the 'Nairmalya Ratna' and 'Swarna Nairmalya' awards, Chief Minister BS Yeddyurappa said that the Government was determined to end the practice of open defecation that still exists in some parts of the state in the next two years and envisaged a programme to accomplish the task.




He said that a subsidy of Rs. 2,500 that was being given to below the poverty line families, who want to build toilets in their houses, had been increased to Rs. 3,000.



Detailing the programmes envisaged by the Bharatiya Janata Party Government for rural development and empowering women, the Chief Minister called upon the elected representatives to create confidence among the people in the system of decentralisation.



Presiding over the function, Minister for Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Jagadish Shettar said the award recipient gram panchayats would become a model for others.



The sanitation campaign had achieved 67 per cent success all over the State, and 39 lakh of the targeted 58 lakh toilets had been built.



People's involvement



Total involvement of the people in rural areas was the primary need to achieve the target, he noted.



“People in rural parts are more interested in having cellphones than toilets in their houses. The Government cannot do everything; the mission could be accomplished only with the active participation of elected representatives and people,” he observed.



Shettar said total sanitation could be achieved only if all the 90,000 members of gram, taluk and zilla panchayat members take initiative in the Total Sanitation Programme.



Dakshina Kannada and Shimoga districts, Tirthahalli, Karkala and Yellapur taluks, Hosangadi in Dakshina Kannada, Bashettyhalli in Bangalore Rural and Kothali in Belgaum gram panchayats received the district, taluk and gram panchayat level 'Nairmalya Rathna' awards.



Bashettyhalli, Taralu (Bangalore city), Chatnahalli (Davangere), Tambrahalli (Bellary), Bhagyanagar (Koppal), Devikere (Yadgir), Kothali (Belgaum), Anagodu (Uttara Kannada), Gondi (Haveri), Hosangadi (Dakshina Kannada), Hakattur (Kodagu) and Mala (Udupi) gram panchayats were given the 'Swarna Nairmalya' awards.

“We have 1,120 beds to treat COVID-19 positive cases in the district. Even after including these 150 persons, we still have 800 beds left. Hence, people need not panic. We will provide treatment for all affected persons,” Mr. Jagadeesha said.
