The Lieutenant Governor of Ladakh, Shri Kavinder Gupta, reviews series of flagship infrastructure and development projects during his visit to Silvassa on the second day of his tour to the UT of Daman and Diu & Dadra and Nagar Haveli.
The Lieutenant Governor was accompanied by First Lady Smt Bindu Gupta and Advisor to the Administrator, Shri Amit Singla, IAS.
The Lt Governor first reviewed the ongoing expansion of NAMO Hospital, being upgraded from 316 beds to a 1,270-bedded multi-speciality teaching hospital at a cost of Rs 955 crore. The project will cater to residents of Daman & Diu, Dadra & Nagar Haveli and neighbouring states, ensuring advanced medical facilities.
At Swami Vivekananda Vidya Mandir, one of India’s largest government schools with 12,000 students, the Lt Governor interacted with teachers and reviewed the ICT-enabled classrooms. Spread over 47,956 sq mt with 245 classrooms and 214 teachers, the school is a model for modern education.
Shri Kavinder Gupta also inspected the NAMO College of Allied Health Sciences and the NAMO Medical Education & Research Institute, both established in 2019, aimed at addressing the shortage of paramedical professionals, doctors and specialists in the region.
The Lt Governor then visited the Galonda Kolipada Nandghar, opened in 2024 under Mission Saksham Anganwadi and Poshan 2.0, which provides nutrition, early education for children and support for mothers.
Reviewing the SCADA system at the Bhurkud Falia Water Treatment Plant on River Daman Ganga, with a 14 MLD capacity, he noted its role in ensuring potable water for 11 villages across four Gram Panchayats. He also lauded the Ayushman Arogya Mandirs, with all 95 health and wellness centres now fully operational, delivering comprehensive primary care under IPHS norms.
The Lt Governor’s last stop was at Naroli Road flyover project, which includes a cafeteria, parking, and toilets (Rs 70 lakh), a table tennis and chess area (Rs 1.80 crore), and a multi-sports complex featuring a 10m Air Rifle/Pistol Range, basketball and pickleball courts (Rs 2.90 crore). These facilities, he said, will promote youth engagement, fitness, and holistic growth.
LG Kavinder emphasised that these initiatives reflect the Modi Government’s commitment to inclusive development and to raising the quality of life in the Union Territory through modern infrastructure and people-centric projects.
