The State Cabinet on Tuesday
cleared the proposal to establish 28 ‘Mukhyamantri suposhan ghar’ (nourishment
centres) in 10 high-risk districts to combat malnourishment. It also cleared
the proposals for large-scale purchase of four-wheelers for the security of
VIPs and VVIPs arriving in the state, as well as to set up “drop-in fuel plant”
to generate synthetic fuel.
The proposed “suposhan” (complete
nourishment) centres would be established by the chief welfare department in
Chitrakoot, Chandauli, Fatehpur, Sidharthanagar, Sonebhadra, Bahraich,
Balrampur, Shravasti, Sitapur and Gonda districts. Bahraich will have the most
number of centres (14).
These centres will have a
consultant, three nurses, two cook cum-care takers and a cleaner on contract
basis.
These centers will conduct
check-ups of malnourished pregnant women and their newborns. These centres will
be established in community or prime health centres.
The Cabinet also approved the
proposal of SunLight Fuels Private Limited to set up a “drop-in fuel” project
to generate alternative synthetic fuel, with an investment of about Rs 1,500
crore. The company will be given several exemptions by the government including
those on stamp duty for purchase of land for the project.
The Cabinet gave the go-ahead for
purchase of 95 four-wheelers — including jammers and bullet-proof vehicles
apart from regular SUVs — at a cost of Rs around Rs 23 crore to provide
security to VVIPs and VIPs arriving in the state. Sources in the government
said purchase of these vehicles was for the upcoming Kumbh Mela as well as the
Pravasi Bharitya Diwas to be observed in Allahabad and Varanasi respectively in
January 2019. While the government approved purchase of another 17 vehicles by
the state estate department, it is in lieu of 17 discarded vehicles.
A proposal to establish
Gorakshnath Research “Peeth” (seat) at Deen Dayal Upadhyaya University in
Gorakhpur with the investment of Rs 13 crore for construction of a building for
research also got approval.
On Tuesday, Chief Minister Yogi
Adityanath held separate meetings with ministers.
Sources said that keeping in mind
the upcoming Lok Sabha polls, the chief minister discussed issues including
statements made by some of the ministers on significant issues.
Ministers wer also asked to be
extra vigilant in regard with their respective department and follow-up on
schemes and projects, sources said.
