Woman donates land for PHC
Officials in Pudukottai district were unable to acquire land for building
A Muslim woman’s gesture in donating her land for construction of a primary health centre at Melathaniyam village in the district has earned her appreciation.
M. Rahamathunisha, a resident of Melathaniyam in Pudukottai district, voluntarily came forward to donate her land measuring 74 cents at a time when the official machinery was unable to acquire a site for construction of the primary health centre. Since January 28, the health centre had been functioning at Melathaniyam in a community hall. Although funds to the tune of Rs. 60 lakh was allocated for the construction of a building, officials were unable to get the required land. On learning about their predicament, Ms. Rahmathunisha came forward and donated her land worth Rs. 1 crore.
She met Collector S. Ganesh and handed over the document. Appreciating the gesture, the Collector said the construction work would start soon.
