Munger: The ground reality of the “E-Aushadhi Vehicle” service, launched by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar with the aim of providing healthcare facilities in rural areas, is now under scrutiny. A shocking image from Munger has exposed the truth behind this ambitious government scheme. The image clearly shows that the vehicle, intended to deliver medicines to sick people in rural areas, is now being used to transport dry fodder.
This image was sent to Dainik Bhaskar by a vigilant citizen. The vehicle prominently displays the words ‘E-Aushadhi’, along with photographs of three prominent political leaders from the state, clearly reflecting the dominance of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The use of this vehicle for transporting fodder not only highlights administrative negligence but also raises serious questions about the state of healthcare services in Bihar.
The objective of the “E-Aushadhi” initiative was to ensure better access to healthcare services at the block level. The scheme promised special mobile units to deliver medicines, provide diagnostic services, and offer primary treatment in rural areas. Chief Minister Nitish Kumar had stated during the launch that with this service, villagers would no longer have to make repeated visits to hospitals and could avail essential healthcare in their own villages.
However, the image from Munger puts these claims into question. A vehicle meant for transporting medicines and serving patients is now being used for agricultural purposes. This not only reflects the negligence of the health department but also suggests that many such government schemes exist only on paper, with serious flaws in their implementation on the ground.
According to local residents, Munger’s health department appears active only in meetings and documentation, while real services on the ground are almost nonexistent. There is a clear lack of accountability and concern among the responsible officials.
So far, there has been no official response from the administration on this matter, but the emergence of the image has undoubtedly brought the issue into the limelight. It remains to be seen what action the state government will take regarding this negligence and what concrete steps will be initiated to bring healthcare services back on track.
This incident not only reveals the failure of a well-intentioned scheme but also highlights the extent of misuse of government resources. Additionally, it evokes memories of the infamous “fodder scam” involving Lalu Yadav, which once shook the political landscape of Bihar.
