Himachal opens a Rs 6.92 crore community health centre at Nohradhar in Sirmaur

Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu has opened, by video link, a new Community Health Centre (CHC) building at Nohradhar in Sirmaur district.
The six-bed centre cost Rs 6.92 crore and is meant to serve about 50,000 people in 20 panchayats and 47 villages.
It offers care round the clock, and two medical officers and a staff nurse are already posted there.
The government says it wants staffing in health institutions to rise from 35 per cent to more than 70 per cent by March 31, 2027.
The Government Senior Secondary School at Sangrah is to seek CBSE affiliation.
A 5,000-litre-a-day milk chilling plant for the area will be considered.

Cost: Rs 6.92 crore Beds: 6 People served: about 50,000
Why it matters for exams: Sirmaur's headquarters (Nahan) and the place of a CHC in India's rural health tiers are standard geography and health-policy questions.
