To Goa govt, with love from jail and hospital inmates
PTI | 01:08 PM,Aug 19,2010A supervisor has been posted at IPHB who keeps the record and accordingly the inmates are paid. Psychiatrists at IPHB too have recommended this project as it will keep the inmates busy. IPHB's Medical Superintendent Dr B S Cuncolienkar said the patients could be kept under control with such work and it also helps them to be away from violence and aggression. "When a patient is kept occupied he knows that he is not a nuisance and is valued by others. This helps to control his violent behaviour," he said. There are such 30 chronic patients who will also be earning some money at the end of their treatment. "When they go back home, then also they can continue with this kind of work as they will be trained in it," Cuncolienkar said. Goa Printing and Stationary department takes care of the entire government requirement right from birth to death certificates. Everything required in various government departments are printed here, Agarwal said. The department has also taken up jobs of Income tax department in Goa and Karnataka. Also, the hospital is keeping track of each patient's account depending on his work and will give them the money when they require or when they are discharged, Aggarwal said.PTI RPS DK DK
