CMC- Chittoor Campus : CPAC Visit
Like everyone of you even CPAC had many doubts regarding CMC and its sincerity in establishing Chittoor campus even after procuring 630 acres of land.
After site visit and meeting CMC Asst Director, you need to appreciate what CMC s trying to do...
Pls read completely to appreciate the efforts of CPAC and CMC in this aspect:
CPAC Team Visit to CMC Hospital Chittoor Campus
Around 4 years ago many people in Chittoor were delighted when CMC Vellore announced that they would start a CMC campus at chittoor. It has been 4 years now and unlike the other medical institutes like Apollo which would start its institute this year,CMC management were very slow in their progress for their campus in Chittoor. Owing to delay in establishment of CMC many rumors took birth.
CPAC along with few other NGO´s decided to burst the wild rumors circulating widely , so we taught it would be a good idea to write to CMC management and we did the same. We were a small group of individuals working towards Chittoor´s development and we were astonished when one of the associate directors of CMC responded to us stating that he would like to meet us at CMC Chittoor campus and explain us about the current facilities existing over there and future plans of CMC.
CPAC met CMC management on 16th ofApril.We would like to share the conversation we had with CMC management.
CMC Director : Around 6 years ago we had a letter from secretary of the then AP government stating that AP government is inviting institutions of national repute to start their campus in AP. CMC was interested and we went further but AP government initially allotted us 25 acres of land in Hyderabad and we at CMC felt the logistic difficulties would make it difficult for us to establish our hospital in Hyderabad and we at CMC also look at the necessity of our health services to the location where we are present.So we requested AP government to allot us an alternative location preferably nearer to CMC Vellore. So AP government helped us purchase around 650 acres of land in Gudipala near Chittoor. CMC management looked at the health statistics of the then Chittoor area and it was less than the national average .If a disease like dengue strikes Chittoor ,CMC vellore would be full of patients from
Diagnostics Facility
Chittoor.So we felt having CMC in Chittoor would serve the purpose of citizens of Chittoor The acquired land consisted of government land,private land…etc….CMC believes in sustainable growth.We ensured that each and every farmer who gave land to CMC is fairly compensated. So we compensated the land lords through lokadalits inviting the then high court judge of AP. The land is mostly hilly and doesn't have water source but the then AP government assured us that a water line would run through the institute which would help us overcome the waterproblem.We do understand the difficulties of building a hospital and medical college without water and at the same time we also understand the difficulties of getting water here so we decided to save each and every drop of rain which falls on this 600 acresland.You can see the lake being constructed outside this building.Over the time I believe the water in the lake would be more than sufficient for CMC and we would recharge excess water to the bore wells here which would serve the farmers surrounding this area who gave the land for us and this is what we call sustainable growth.All the infrastructure you see here should have been created 3 years ago but due to some issues we are 4 years late and CMC management learnt a lot from these issues.
CPAC : All is good but we see only pre-fab buildings and we get a feeling that it may not be permanent ?
CMC Director : Do you know how much CMC charges its medical students per year ??
CPAC : It might be 1 lakh-2 lakh rupees.
CMC Director : We charge Rs 3000 per year per student.We at CMC believe that education is a gift and it shouldn't be charged and in return students are expected to consider patients as god and treat them for their lifetime. CMC runs its hospital and institutes only through the money which it earns by treating itspatients.If we spend a rupee more we need to pass this burden to our patients and we at CMC don't want to do this .Pre-fabricated technology is fastest to construct,economical and environmentally friendly.Moreover today we don't have the necessity to build vertically since we have abundant horizontal area here and when necessity arises we would think of buildingvertically.You people can see the difference in temperature inside this pre-fabricated structures as you come inside from the hotsun.We want CMC Chittoor to be sustainable with the little revenue which we earn from patients in CMC Chittoor. We at CMC believe in fair compensationalso.We ensure that even people like sweepers who work for us are fairly compensated and they get best wages compared to their counter parts working outside. For the maintenance of CMC Chittoor currently we are spending around 2 times the revenue which we earn by treating patients here.We want CMC Chittoor to be sustainable with the money which we charge patients and at the same time we ensure that patients are not burdened. We have currently developed the infrastructure in CMC Chittoor taking this into picture and also the necessities of the citizens of Chittoor area. Many people from ctr come to CMC vellore for deliveries.So we currently have a labor ward which can handle 8 deliveries in a single instant oftime.150 beds are available to admit patients here.We have requested an orthopedic and 5 other specialists to workhere.The dental ward is ready and it would be available for Chittoor citizens in a months time and two MDS doctors would be available here.We also have a trauma care unit here which would be utilized for treating most of the people who come from accidents and other emergencies. Many of our doctors are exited to work here after working in CMC Vellore which has a pretty old infrastructure though serving the patients at large.You can also see theoperation theaters present here.Currently we rented some houses for our doctors in Chittoor and over time we would build accommodation facilities for them here itself inside the campus.800 patients transit the AP-TN border everyday and we understand that at least 20% of this crowd would come to CMC Vellore and we would like all these crowd to get treated in CMC Chittoor itself. Many patients from Chittoor travel to CMC Vellore for diagnosis and we would like CMC Chittoor to handle most of the diagnosis for the Chittoor patients. We also trained a group of nurses who speak the local language and they would be coming here in 6 months time. Our idea is to get the institute to certain level from which the institute would grow on its own.
CPAC : What about the medical institutes sir ??
Let me tell you that at CMC Vellore we don't like to spend even a single rupee from our pockets for something which is out of the books.Even to offer you this tea and snacks,I have to justify my management. Today we are an institution of international repute and we had all the infrastructure to handle a pg course at our institute 20 years ago,but you would be surprised if I would tell you that we were not given a licence initially to do a pg course from government and when we applied for it in 2000 but 5 years later the government gave us.We at CMC believe that we need to treat patients like god and god will in turn take care of us. We could have gone to media regarding CMC Chittoor but we believe that our work should speak.Weare neither into medical tourism nor competition to any medical institute.Ourjob is to give quality medical service to people who come to us.
Having said this we would like to start those institutes which add a good value to our country and also those which would be given licenses quickly like nursing.Most of the villages CMC adopted has health statistics on par with the top health indicators of the world.Our idea is to start a public health institute here which would educate the people of India working in health sector and an institute for continuing education.We at CMC believe in a slow sustainable and needbasedgrowth.We believe that in a 5 years span our hospital,nursing college and few other institutes will be fully functional.
CPAC : We heard that Tamil Nadu government offered you land near Madurai and that would have been the reason for the slow progress of CMC Chittoor ?
CMC Director : CMC Chittoor is the only campus which CMC maintains along with CMC Vellore and we would like to focus only on these two campuses.We don t have offers from any other governments.
CPAC: How can we help you for CMC chittoor??
CMC Director : I can say that you all are ourAngels.You can form a group like friends of CMC and we all can meet for christmas at the CMC chittoor campus and we can also plan some other activities. Initially we were of the idea of not building this boundary since we at CMC believe that boundaries separate people and we want to build long lasting relationships with people.

Thousand-acre theme park to come up in Chittoor
The forest officials have mooted to ground the City Park theme on about one thousand hectares on Chittoor outskirts, part of which is currently used as deer park. This project is part of the State-wide plan, which covers as many as 13 places.
In Chittoor district, Chittoor and Tirupati are the two places to be covered under the City Park scheme.
The Chittoor forest is spread over one thousand acres, which is further linked to reserve forest towards Tamil Nadu. At present, this part has a walkers track and a deer park. Highlight of the area is that it has a luxuriant presence of red sanders covering over 75 per cent of the area.
Divisional Forest Officer (Chittoor-East) K. Venkataswamy told The Hindu that the existing forest belt close to Chittoor town is like "lungs" to the local people. "We will develop the area as City Park, with superb facilities like meditation center, children park, holiday resorts, canteens, environmental education center, exhibition center and watch tower. An amount of Rs. 3 crore would be spent in phases. At present, we are grounding works worth Rs.80 lakh," he said.
A compound wall would be constructed around the park for a distance of over 5-km. The official said that the services of meditation masters and yoga teachers would be utilised for the visitors coming to the park. "Currently, visitors are allowed only through the jogging track. In a phased manner, the visitors would be allowed deep inside the forest," he said.
The City Park concept includes wall painting of rare species, including civet cats, slender loris, and certain rare birds. "Instead of using figures of regular wildlife species, this concept will introduce new and lesser known flora and fauna to the public, particularly to impress children," the DFO said.
Mr. Venkataswamy said an aviary would also be coming up in the City Park. "We will finalise the action plan regarding the bird species to be housed in it," he said.

Road Widening - An Emergency Requirement for Chittoor
1. 30 సం.లు గా అభివృద్ధి కి నోచుకోని చిత్తూరు రోడ్లు. ఫైల్లలోనే మురుగుతున్న మాస్టర్ ప్లాన్ లు.
2. విపరీతంగా పెరిగిన ట్రాఫిక్ తో ప్రజల కష్టాలు.
3. ఇరుకు రోడ్లు, ఆపై ఆక్రమణలు.
4. నియంత్రణ కష్టమై, కాలుష్యం బారిన ట్రాఫిక్ పోలీసుల ఇక్కట్లు. రోడ్లు వెడల్పు కానిదే ఏమీ చేయలేమని నివేదిక.
5. నాయకుల నిర్లక్ష్యం, ఆశ్రిత పక్షపాతమే ఈ పరిస్థితికి కారణం.
6. స్వలాభం కోసం నగరాభివృధ్ధి ని పూర్తిగా విస్మరించిన ముందు తరం నాయకులు.
7.రహదారుల విస్తరణ తప్పనిసరి అని అంగీకరిస్తున్న మెజారిటీ ప్రజలు, పోలీసు అధికారులు, మేధావులు.
8. 25 సం.ల తరువాత విస్తరణ వైపు మెదటి అడుగు..అఖిల పక్ష సమావేశం.
కలెక్టర్ , ఎమ్మెల్యే ఇతర అధికారులకు అగ్ని పరీక్ష. భవిష్యత్తు కోసం గట్టి నిర్ణయం తప్పదు.

Backstabbing Chittoor - Here are the Proofs
The report clearly says that all roads connecting Chittoor should be 4 laned as priority projects.
There have been recent reports that Our beloved CM wants to exclude Chittoor completely and realign the road to pass through Piler and madanapally.
It makes everyone believe that somehow CM holds a secret grudge on chittoor. Otherwise why would he eliminate road development of chittoor which is clearly mentioned in the report??
He will be surely answerable someday when he faces elections!.. This is democracy sir. You will not hold to power permanently unless people approve!
Now I have directly registered this as grievance to central government ( DIPP)

KATTAMANCHI LAKE- THE CROWN BEAUTY OF CHITTOOR IN MAKING
2. Chennai based consultancy gave report for project feasibility and bioremediation.
3. The tankbund around the lake is already strengthened and provided with butterfly lighting.
4. Drains flowing into lake are diverted. As already the lake is filled with silt and lake weed, draining of the lake completely and refilling with fresh water is under process.
5. Gardening around the lake along with seating arrangements will be taken up by inviting tenders.
6. Boating and tourist amenities are to be created in PPP mode.
Kattamanchi lake beautification will directly affect the image of Chittoor as it abetts the important RTC bus station, Railway Station etc.
Once the project is completed, it surely will change appearance of chittoor to some extent
P.S:
But entire project is being funded by corporation. Hope govt gives some support like it does to other cities.

Best News of the Century - For Chittoor City
It gives me immense pleasure in bringing this news regarding chittoor to you.
After facing immense criticism especially in social media, CM Sri CBN has chaired a full fledged review meeting on chittoor. Meeting lasted for about 4 hours.
The meeting was attended by District officials, local representatives, MLA, MP, MLC and Ministers of Urban development, Finance, R&B and Revenue departments.
CM was furious about the pathetic situation of his own district head quarter city. After taking into account that no developmental activity has taken place in the past 30 years, CM was very disturbed, and organised full revamp of city administration.
Following orders were immediately issued and CM has warned officials that he will review progress every month.
1. A city development committee is immediately formed which will be converted to CHUDA and will be headed by an IAS officer.
2. All the arterial and main roads will be widened immediately with proper butterfly lighting and beautification.
A 4/6 lane outer ring road connecting Chennai, Bangalore and Tirupati highways will come up and act as a boost to city growth.
3. Roads identified for widening with immediate effect are
a.Kattamanchi under bridge to RVS nagar
b.Greamspet to Gangasagaram
c.Municipal office to Autonagar
d. MSR junction to Iruvaram.
In phase 1 only limited demolitions will be undertaken and all encroachments as per municipal records will be removed.
Also the roads from collector bungalow-reserve forest-Pvkn college and kattamanchi-sambaiah kandiga will be 4laned to decrease traffic pressure.
4. A breach of trust case to be filed against CMC vellore for acquiring 626 acres of land at subsidized rates and not following the agreement for developing world class medical facilities.
The land will be immediately seized and CM has promised to consider establishing a technology university in the already acquired land.
5. State govt has decided to bear 50 percent cost of new railway line between chittoor and nangili. This will be the shortest railway line to Bangalore from many district hqrs of seemandhra.
CM has also requested railway authorities to consider new railway line from Chittoor to Tiruttani to act as alternate trunk line between Chennai and Bangalore.
6. NH authorities present in the meeting have said that land acquisition between Karnataka border to chittoor is almost complete and NH4 widening will be starting very soon.
7. CM has ordered immediately to call tenders for 6 laning of Chittoor- Tirupati-Naidupeta road and has sanctioned 590 crores with immediate effect.
8. Utilising the Chennai Bangalore Industrial corridor, 3 mega industrial areas will come up in putalapattu, yadamari and bangarupalem mandals and will create 100000 jobs for local population.............................
...
...
Cough cough, sneeze sneeze ....woke up suddenly.. It was all a dream. Hhhhh.
Sorry guys. It was a dream. Nothing is happening. CBN and State govt feels chittoor city doesn't exist at all......so get back to your routine bored lives .

CBN Govt Turning Blind eye Towards Chittoor
2. Chittoor-Tirupati-Nayudupeta road 4 laning forms important part of this node to increase connectivity to Bangalore.
3. Tenders were called in 2008 (https://www.devex.com/projects/tenders/andhra-pradesh-road-sector-project-in-india--5/48594)
4. Its TDP which fought to cancel the tenders citing transfer to NH dept.
5. Now total 7 years completed. This project is not even being talked about by our progressive govt. Any sane person driving on this road will notice the urgent need for widening.
6. Now our forward looking govt wants to ignore this vital road completely and has come up with new proposal of. Banagolre-Naidupeta via madanapally, Piler, Tirupati.
7. Ignoring a road which serves 70% traffic and wants to concentrate on an alternative.
Now one point comes to every ones mind

చిత్తూరంటేనే నిర్లక్ష్యమా
Daily you have been reading these statements in news papers. right? OK. But these statement are for limited areas of AP and never ever think that Chittoor is included. We are like some alienated land which need not be bothered or developed.
Some people might think iam continuously criticizing CBN and present govt.
Yes I agree. but why? I have been a CBN supporter earlier. But looking at his way of complete ignorance and chosen negligence towards chittoor I am trying to bring out the facts.
Now let's see one glaring example:
Enlarge the attached picture. Blue line in the picture is the elevated expressway being built by Japan government. Both Karnataka and TN have come out with industrial areas abutting this corridor to benefit their population. But not a single proposal submitted by AP. Why? Because they are least bothered about chittoor. Leaving surrounding areas of Chittoor, CBN speaks about Yerpedu and much farther areas.
Why Sir. Why this hatred?
#Chennai Bangalore Expressway
No of Industrial areas to benefit from this'
Karnataka: 10
TN: 12
AP: Nil

CBIC :: లో చిత్తూరెక్కడ
*The proposed Chennai- Bangalore Elevated Expressway passes near Chittoor.
* This Expressway will be 6 lane, elevated and access control with speed design for 120 kmph and reduces travel time between two metros to 2 hours.
* This express way alignment is designed to form a lifeline for the planned Chennai-Bangalore Industrial Corridor (CBIC)
* Already TN govt has proposed service roads on either side of this highway to connect several industrial estates.
But, But....
AP govt under beloved CBN never proposes a single industrial area near chittoor to benifit from this expressway or CBIC.
Are you watching??

CPAC :: Chittoor Political Action Committee
Preamble, working guidelines, and membership drive will have to be finalised
Chittoor MLA Chairs Development Meeting
1. Pls follow up your proposals every 3 months. Otherwise nothing will move ahead.
2. Immediately prepare action plan to widen 4 main roads of chittoor with dividers and lighting up to outskirts
3. Except few bottlenecks these roads need very little demolitions.
4. As recent rains solved the main water problem of chittoor atleast for a year, divert the funds to provide street lighting. Present lighting in the city is pathetic. Even main roads in well populated areas of chittoor don't have street lights or else one or two tubelights per km are present

APSRTC CHITTOOR BUSSTATION- A Transformation.
Chittoor RTC Busstand with 42 working platforms is already one of the largest in AP and is serving 3 State corporations Apsrtc, Ksrtc and Tstc.
Friday, January 8, 2016
Enti Sir Idhi??
2. Chittoor MP was sitting through out the meeting, but never bothered to raise a single issue related to chittoor.
3. Nellore - Tirupati - Chittoor tri city industrial corridor was the one in plans. But out beloved CM wants to change it to Nellore-Tirupati- Chennai.
So CM is bothered about Chennai in TN more than his own dist hqr.
4. Our beloved CM is putting pressure on CII and Japan agency to change Chennai Bangalore Industrial Corridor to exclude chittoor, but include Yerpedu.
5. Why Yerpedu sir?? IIT yerpedu, IISER Yerpedu, TpTy extension towards yerpedu, Yerpedu- Krishnapatnam and Yerpedu- Sricity industrial Clusters, mega tourist hub in Yerpedu.
Why. Who is really benefitting? This is one doubt and discussion going on in minds of all people of the district.
