Birla Edutech, Uttarakhand govt to set up hospitals

New Delhi: Birla Edutech Limited along with Uttrakhand government plans to set up hospitals and ayurvedic treatment centres in the state. This move to bring about improvement of health facilities in the state comes after BEL signed an MoU with Trivendra Singh Rawat, Chief Minister of Uttarakhand, and his cabinet of ministers for supporting 30 schools with skill development programs.
In order to support government’s skill development program, Birla Edutech Ltd (BEL) also plans to set up training centres for local nurses and ayurvedic therapists.
Speaking on the occasion, Nirvaan Birla, Head- Business Development, Birla Edutech, said, “I am looking forward to working with this pragmatic Cabinet in the sectors of Education and Health. I also had the opportunity of visiting and participating in the English vocational sessions that we are conducting across 30 schools in Uttarakhand.”
Going further with their focus on education, BEL is in talks with the Uttarakhand government to set up ICT projects to facilitate digital learning for Math and Science in K12 schools via projectors and BEL content. Under the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, it conducts English speaking sessions for state schools in Uttarakhand.
BEL has submitted proposals for taking over management of government hospitals in Rishikesh and Dehradun and to implement ICT smart schooling projects across government schools in the state.
