* Of total
Rs.1,55,48,263/- incurred cost for free treatment under Pranadana
scheme, Rs.1,05,48,263/- was released by SVIMS from SBAVP deposits
and remaining Rs.50,00,000/- was released by TTD as an initial
grant.
Genesis of the scheme for treating the poor patients :-
-
There were several
representations from various social organizations and poor patients to give
free treatment to the poor patients as they could not afford to pay for the
diseases/ailments of Cardiac, Kidney, Cancer, Neuro cases which are life
threatening and treatment cost is higher.
-
Basing on this the
Director-cum-Vice Chancellor, Sri Venkateswara Institute of Medical Sciences
(SVIMS) addressed a letter to the Executive Officer, Tirumala Tirupati
Devasthanams (TTD) regarding the same and in the mean time the local elite,
met the Director and came forward to establish a Heart-Brain-Kidney
foundation on 09.04.2000. But sufficient support was not received for this
foundation and there by the scheme could not be continued.
-
After this, a request
was made again to the EO, TTD and Government of Andhra Pradesh to take
initiative and to give permission for treating poor patients at free of cost
with the income generated by SVIMS as we are charging for middle classes and
rich people. This has been accepted and this provision has been extended to
limited number of patients out of the income generated by SVIMS.
-
Finally, both the
Hon’ble Chief Minister (who is also the Chairman of SVIMS) and Chairman of
TTD have accepted to provide free service to the poor patients by collecting
donations on the lines of S.V. Annadanam project. Officially the free
treatment for poor patients was inaugurated by the Hon’ble Chief Minister on
24th September,2001 on the eve of Sri Vari Bramhotsvam.
-
The S.V. Pranadana
scheme was initiated under S.V. Pranadana Trust (SVPT) which was launched by
the TTD on 12.12.01 with the members being Joint Executive Officer’s (JEO)
of Tirupati and Tirumala, Financial Advisor & Chief Accounts Officer (FA&CAO),
Senior Medical Officer (SMO), Supdt.,Govt. Maternity Hospital, Supdt., Sri
Venkateswara Ramnarayan Ruiya Government General (SVRRGG) Hospital,
Director, Balaji
Institute of Surgery, Research and Rehabilitation for the Disabled (BIRRD)
& Director-cum-VC, SVIMS and the Chairman being the Executive Officer, TTD.
-
The Trust was
envisaged with an objective of using the Lord’s material and spiritual
wealth for the benefit of the poor and needy patients for providing free
medical treatment for the life-threatening diseases of Heart, Kidney, Brain,
Cancer etc.,
-
The Executive
Officer, TTD has started in the file A2/12/TTD.Corrs/SVIMS/2000, dated
25.12.2001 that the interest earned on Sri Balaji Arogya Vara Prasadini (SBAVP)
scheme may be permitted to utilize towards treatment of poor patients.
-
An amount of
Rs.1,55,48,263/- was utilized for free treatment of poor patients under the
scheme named as S.V. Pranadana Scheme. Of this amount Rs.105,48,263/- was
released by SVIMS from January 2002 to March 2003 on SBAVP deposits and
remaining 50,00,000/- was released by TTD as an initial grant.
-
The SVPT meeting
which was held on 22.02.2003, decided to sanction Rs.15 lakhs per month as
grant from the SVPT by TTD towards free treatment of poor patients in SVIMS.
Further, a monthly grant of Rs.25 lakhs had been sanctioned by the SVPT
w.e.f.1.4.04, and then monthly grant was increased from Rs.30 lakh to Rs.50
lakhs was approved by the SVPT meetings held on 24.03.06, 30.01.2008
respectively and consequently, from 02.04.2014 it was amended as no limit
for monthly grant.
