Kundapur, August 17, 2025: As part of Independence Day celebrations, the Khidma Foundation’s Kundapura and Byndoor taluk units donated chairs and stretcher trolleys to the Byndoor Community Health Centre to improve patient facilities. Additionally, fruits were distributed to patients at the hospital during a program held on August 15, 2025.

Dr. Rajesh C. Saukoor, Administrative Medical Officer of the health centre, addressed the gathering, noting that the hospital serves numerous patients from surrounding villages daily but faces a shortage of medical equipment. He expressed gratitude for the donation, stating it would enhance service delivery. Dr. Saukoor also highlighted the need to upgrade the facility to a taluk hospital, with a proposal already submitted to the government, especially since Byndoor has been designated a taluk centre.

Former Zilla Panchayat member Suresh Batwadi praised the hospital staff’s dedication and the foundation’s contribution, emphasizing that patients from all communities benefit from the facility, and the donation will significantly improve public convenience. Mobi P.C., president of the Byndoor Lawyers’ Association, commended the foundation’s efforts and extended best wishes.

The event was presided over by Khidma Foundation president Sheikh Abu Muhammad. Maulana Zameer Ahmad Rashadi delivered the introductory speech, and secretary Muhammad Rafeeq Wandse compered the program and offered the vote of thanks. Attendees included social worker Fayaz Ali Byndoor, foundation vice-president Muhammad Haris Golihole, pharmacy officer Ashfaq Nagur, members Bedre Ibrahim Kundapur, Abdul Rahman Shirur, Rizwan Nagur, Aslam Tallur, Irfan Nagur, Hasan Shabbar Shirur, Jalal Sheikh Kandlur, hospital staff, and others.
