Performance – Cum – Achievement Report for the Period: 18-7-2009 to 31-10-2009.

I. For the year 2009-10, the mobile dispensary, service work in chenchu gudems, Kurnool district,
is entrusted to 3 doctors only instead of 4, dividing the area in to 3 sectors.

II. A grant of $12,000 (Rs.5,72,160), released by IDRF USA for the 3rd time, received on 1-7-2009
into SB a/c no10486273775 at SBI, Bazar Road, Nandyal kurnool dt. for the year 2009-10.

III. As we contemplate to have an alternative strategy so as to sustain good results that we achieved
in combat with TB, which was rampant in the chenchu tribal area of Kurnool dist., we started
screening with the help of LCD projector, CDs of spiritual values, Mythological films, followed
by counseling by the doctors present on health aspects, with reference to the ill effects of liquor,
spurious drugs and other bad habits.
IV.
(a) The regular visits as per schedule, the mobile dispensary started with effect from 18-7-09, for the
year 2009-10.
(b) Unfortunately during the period 2-10-09 to 5-10-09, unprecedented, unexpected flood slashed
Kurnool district, particularly town and few parts of rural side and tribal area in the district. In 6
chenchu gudems where in our mobile medical service is catering the needs, the floods swept away
all the belongings of chenchus i.e. fishing nets, the few numbers of goats and sheep they are
nearing crop, cooking utensils and other daily items which is all the poor man’s only wealth;
while they themselves ran away for shelter to nearby hill rocks stranded there for about week
days, till the waters receded, while some more gudems also had the impact of flood, but in a small
way. Any way, in a big way many philanthropists and seva societies came to the rescue of all
these flood victims in the area (chenchus and non-chenchu victims). They are slowly stabilizing.
Though it is already past about 60 days, most of the victims who lost their houses are still taking
shelter in tents in open areas.
(c) In these floods at Kurnool, residents of two of our doctors are badly damaged and are to be
equipped from the scrap.
(d) Actually mobile dispensary resumed its schedule with effect from 6-10-2009.

A Report by Dr. M.D.V.N Rama Sarma

During the regular visits of mobile dispensary ANTENATAL check up is kept as mandatory to all
pregnant women in chenchu gudems. Pregnancy in early days is detected by preg-color test for chenchu
women for missed periods. Basing on the Heamatics status, Iron capsules/syrup, calcium supplement were
given. In first trimester folic acid is provided. All pregnant women in respective chenchu gudems are
immunized with TT serum trice in their gestational period.

With the continuous efforts of Antenatal care since 7 years, the child mortality rate is decreasing.
During this period, there were 30 pregnant women all have delivered normally in their respective chencu
gudems. 2 of them had cesarean surgery at Kurnool and Nandyal. No foetal abnormalities were detected.
Effective Antenatal care is prime cast for this achievement.

A Report by Dr. K.Parameswara Reddy
I have been working as the medical officer in this project since April 2007. Now I am looking
after the chenchu gudems in the regions of kothapalli Mandalam. I am visiting chenchu gudems twice in a
weak both on Monday and Wednesday. On Monday we are visiting places of Yedurepadu, Sivapuram,
Musalla Madugu, Erramatam, Pedda gummadapuram and pata madugula. On Wednesday we are visiting
places of Kothapalli C.G, Errakunta, Palemcheru, kothalacheru, chadarampenta and once in a month we
are visiting Janala which is nearly 4km up near kapileswaram.

This project for the period 2009 to 2010 has began on 18/07/2009. Most of the cases that we have
come across are Anemia especially among women and we are providing long duration therapy for at least
2 to 3 months. Most of the patients are responding well to the treatment and there is significant
improvement in the health condition. Next majority of cases are respiratory tract infections. Most of these
cases are upper respiratory tract infection including common cold. Very few cases are LRTI and
Bronchitis. These ailments were more severe during the flood period of October 2009. Very few cases of
pulmonary tuberculosis were identified newly. Antenatal cases are also coming regularly for medical
checkup. Most of them are following medical advices and are doing well. Most of them are getting
delivery done under the supervision of medical persons.

It is noted that at least 2 to 6 persons in each chenchu gudems are suffering with cataract problem
of the eye. It will be benefit to these persons if we could conduct one medical camp especially to eye
problems. Now a days we have observed most of the chenchu community persons are showing intrest in
spiritual matters especially Errakunta and Peddagumadapuram chenchu gudems.

In Terracotta chenchu guide Idol of Lord Panchamuka Hanuman has been inaugurated under the
guidance and help of sevabharathi unit. This gudem people are offering regular pooja by cleaning the
premises, offering flowes to the lord and by lighting lamp at least once in a day. In peddagumadapuram
chenchu people has celebrated lord Ganesh chaturdi in this year 2009. They kept Idol of the Ganesh made
out of plaster of paris and offered pooja according to their ability. This gudem people are interested to
have one permanent Idol of the lord Hanuman and they are requesting for the guidance and other form of
help. Because of the continuous effort of this unit of seva bharathi there is an immense change in the
attitude regarding health and spiritual matters.

A Report by Dr. B.Murilidhar

During visits of mobile dispensary we came across common skin disorders prevailing in
chenchu gudems as follows:
Scabies is one of the most predominant contagious skin disease mostly spread by drop out school
children studying in govt. hostels, due to un-hygienic, un-cleanliness environment. Skin diseases
like Derma totes, furnculitis and fungal infections are precipitated.

C.O.P.D is commonly found in chenchu adults due to smoking etc. Asteo arthiritis is
predominantly found in elderly women, they were given calcium supplement and some NSAIDS
(Non steroid anti inflammatory drugs) uproot from medical care. We are also taking preventive
measures so that the diseases don’t relapse.

2-10-2009 : Bhaktakannappa Gurukulam – Gurukulam campus passed through a dreadful night on 2nd
oct 2009 under the grip of fear, of anticipated flash floods due to heavy rains in the upper regions. About
300 gokavaram villagers, ran for shelter into the campus leaving all their belongings at their residences.
Fortunately no untoward incident took place by the grace of god; flood with a small treat went off,
damaging the village. All villagers stayed in the campus for 3 days upto 5th oct 09. Bhaktakanappa
gurukulam and mobile dispensary project volunteers took care of the victims in providing shelter and food
to them. From 4 oct to 3 nov, phylonthropists and seva societies connected with RSS and sevabharathi
collected all flood relief materials i.e. food, biscuits, bread, chepathies, rice, grams, pulsus, oil packets,
masala materials, tamarind, sarees etc. Varieties of clothings, mosquito curtains, bed sheets, mats, towels,
steel plates, kitchen ware, kerosene stoves, tent material, misc eatables etc for the survival of the victims
and distributed through sevabharathi and its mobile dispensary project in 10 villages around gokavaram.
In this calamity 6 chenchu gudems badly affected with a big loss. M.D.P took special care in distributing
these items in the chenchu hamlets, apart from medical service, soon after the waters started receeding.
