Realizing that a healthy person can be a better investigator,
CBI has launched several initiatives to keep its officials
fit. As a part of this venture, the investigative agency organized
a daylong free health check-up camp for its employees and
their family members who are located in Delhi. About 500 men,
women and children had their health checked by experts from
the city’s Escorts hospital, Ram Manohar Lohia hospital
and the Central Government Health Scheme hospital. Cardiological,
dermatological and pediatric checks were carried out by 14
doctors besides conduct of tests like blood sugar, serum cholesterol,
ECG and echocardiography. The Director of CBI, Shri U.S.Misra
inaugurated the health camp and went round to see the facilities
and encourage the persons undergoing checks.
Patients were given medicines free of costs and if further
investigation was required, they were referred to the CGHS
facilities. Organized by the CBI Ladies’ Welfare Association
the camp was a follow up of a similar camp organized during
July last exclusively for women which was a great success.
Under the leadership of Smt. Gayatri Misra, the President
of the Association, several welfare activities have been carried
out including organization of a stress management Programme,
cultural programmes etc. in the past. With the initiative
of the Association and the efforts of the Director, CBI, a
CGHS dispensary was set up in the CBI residents’ colony
at Vasant Vihar last year whch has made life easier for the
residents of the colony as they don’t have to trudge
long distance, especially during night.
Shri Misra also inaugurated a welfare center in the colony
(Vasant Vihar) on the occasion. Initially the center would
offer vocational training in sewing and knitting to women
and girls and would later be expanded to offer training in
classical dance and music. Shri Misra also visited a stall
put up by the Police Families Welfare Society where several
items were on display for sale. Shri Misra lauded the efforts
of the society.
