The fourth district-level conference of National Health Mission (NHM) employees was organised on Sunday at the hall of the MCH Building, Zonal Hospital, Mandi.

The conference was conducted under the supervision of the election committee, chaired by Rakesh Sharma and Chetan Thakur. During the event, district-level elections were held in a peaceful and unanimous manner, reflecting unity among the NHM employees of the district.

In the unanimously conducted elections, Navneet Guleria was elected as the district president. Dr Vipul was elected as senior vice president, while Vinod Kumar and Pooja Chaudhary were elected as vice presidents. Kamna Ravikant and Atul were chosen as joint secretaries. Chetan Sankhyan was elected treasurer. Rakesh Sharma was appointed legal advisor and press secretary. Mahender Pal Thakur and Rajender were nominated as chief advisors.

Along with this, a core committee was also constituted to strengthen organisational activities. The members of the core committee include Vinod Kumar, Dr Vipul, Yogesh, Ravikant, Pooja Chaudhary, Dharmender, Dr Chirag, Chetan, Sumit, Navneet Guleria, Rakesh Sharma and Chetan Sankhyan.

Addressing the gathering after his election, Guleria expressed his heartfelt gratitude to all NHM employees of the district for showing faith in him. He emphasised that the government must bring a clear and concrete policy for NHM contractual employees at the earliest. He warned that if the demands of the employees were ignored, workers in the district would be compelled to launch an agitation in the near future, and the responsibility for such a situation would lie entirely with the state government.

The conference concluded with a resolve to work unitedly for the rights, job security and welfare of NHM contractual employees.
