our work can be divided into following major
sequence.
A) Sanitation:- 1) Disposals
2) Garbage
3) Bio-Medical Waste
A) Grounds:- 1) Gardening
B) Security:- ( West Campus )
The
each above work can be described in nutshell
as follow.
Sanitation
The
task of sanitation depends on the over all infra
structure of the buildings and its system of
waste management. The major work undertaken
is keeping cleanliness and maintains hygienic
conditions in the East and west campus and outside
residential areas. Accordingly, the jobs of
removing the garbage in the hospital campus
and residential zone are undertaken on the priority
levels. This waste contains grass, bushes, plants
and trees and its leaves. The second important
work is of maintenance of drainage lines and
its disposal waste in the hospital campus. These
works are undertaken so as to keep healthy environment
in the hospital premises and to implement the
infection control programs regularly.
There is proper system for
disposing the garbage for which the hired
vehicles are put in to use regularly. The
collected garbage and domestic waste is collected
in the cement dust bins and carried out properly
to Central Garbage Depot of Municipal Corporation.
For Rodent control the preventive work the
contract has been awarded to Pest Terminators,
Pune.
The
systematic arrangement is followed in the
hospital to collect the biomedical waste and
its segregation is done by our department
as the guidelines of the Pollution Control
Board, a regulatory organization of State
Govt. The Bio-Medical waste contains waste
from the patient areas, unclaimed dead bodies,
gangrene specimens, infected blood bags and
test tubes, RIA tubes etc. There exist efficient
and scientific waste management in the hospital
which has helped in fetching income to the
Hospital. There exists a Incinator plant for
disposal of Bio-Medical waste in the Hospital
campus.
As part of infection Control program the required
insecticides are spread in the Hospital campus
and all four residential zones with the help
of Fogging machine and hand pumps. Also we
take care of cleanliness of latrine and Bath-Rooms,
open corridors of Hostels, Fletcher Hall and
many residential areas which is commonly used
by hospital staffs and students and Guests/
visitors.
Grounds
The
total area of the hospital is of 47 acres which
contains hospital main buildings, ancillary
buildings, roads and two residential zones.
The two outside residential campus are also
being looked up by us. There are huge of empty
space which is used as play grounds and multi
purpose occasions. This empty space or grounds
requires regular maintenance and cleanliness
since its multi purpose use at different seasons
for hospital’s different occasions like
Youth Rally, Hospital graduation, Christmas
Sports, Funfare, and many other yearly events
and Religious functions and programs.
It is essential that Hospital
should develop and maintain the good environment
around the surrounding areas and hence we
have developed 9 big and small gardens in
the immediate vicinity of the Hospital buildings
which ultimately increases the beauty of the
buildings and premises.
Security
The
area of the Hospital is huge and so it requires
security services, especially in the west campus
residential zone. To avoid mishappening in the
campus the security services are provided by
our department around the clock.

Conclusion
By
the Grace of Almighty Lord, constantly there
is some advancement in the hospital and accordingly
the daily work load of our department increases
multi dimensions. To cope up with this increasing
work load there is no any increase in the task
force of men, bur on the contrary there is constant
decline in the manpower. I am proud to say that
all the big and small sudden break-downs in
the hospital are resolved with the help of our
staffs and department. The past history of incidents
is the live example for proof.
