Heart attacks/cardiac related diseases are very common these days due to working style, lifestyle and other reasons of our Corporation employees. Heart related diseases are more prevalent among drivers, Conductors and other staff above 40 years of age.

This scheme also vogue in BMTC where employees aged 45 and above are covered under the scheme, but in KSRTC this scheme is extended to employees of 40 years and above which is good as the persons of this age group are also prone to heart ailments. He further said, Corporation has entered into an MoU with our institute and from now onwards it is our responsibility to identify the heart related ailments of employees. Separate checkup and treatment facility will be provided to employees and in our Mysore institute facilities would also be utilized by staff working in nearby divisions.

He said, he is reading about various schemes introduced by KSRTC through newspapers and while 2-3 days back, he read about introduction of enhanced family welfare scheme amount to Rs.10 lakhs under the leadership of Sri. Ramalinga Reddy, Hon’ble Transport and Muzrai Minister which is highly appreciable. Hon’ble Transport and Muzrai Minister stated MoU entered with Sri Jayadeva Institute will facilitate for continuous heart related and other checkups to identify and prevent heart attacks and thereby save employees lives.
