Anand

District headquarters Anand in central Gujarat will have Civil hospital. A piece of 28,000 square meter land which was acquired by district collector has been handed over to Civil surgeon to first start an urban health center and later a full-scale civil hospital at a cost of about Rs 80 crore. Rs 5.20 crore amount has been already allocated for the first phase works. Anand district was created 17 years ago. The state government had allocated Rs 47 crore grant about five years hack in its budget for Civil hospital here. However, the process couldn’t start due to lack of land availability. District Collector Dr Dhaval Patel recently took back a land earlier given to Vyayam Mandir and allocated it to state health department for construction of civil hospital.
