The Headquarters Of Western Zone Of Bangladesh Railway

History Of Iswardi Railway Station,Pabna

swardi is a railway junction in Bangladesh, situated in the district of Pabna, in the division of Rajshahi.

From 1878, the railway route from Kolkata, then called Calcutta, to Siliguri was in two laps. The first lap was a 185 km journey along the Eastern Bengal State Railway from Calcutta Station (later renamed Sealdah) to Damookdeah Ghat on the southern bank of the Padma River, then across the river in a ferry and the second lap of the journey. A 336 km metre gauge line of the North Bengal Railway linked Saraghat on the northern bank of the Padma to Siliguri. It was during this period that Iswardi came up as a railway station.

The Kolkata-Siliguri main line was converted to broad gauge in stages. The Shakole-Santahar section was converted in 1910-1914, when Hardinge Bridge was under construction. The Hardinge Bridge was opened in 1915.^[2]

The Sara-Sirajganj line was constructed by the Sara-Sirajganj Railway Company in 1915-1916.^[2]

Consequent to the construction of the 4.8 kilometres (3.0 mi) long Bangabandhu Bridge in 1998, there was reassessment of the requirements of the railways. First, a 99 kilometres (62 mi) long new dual gauge line was to be constructed from Joydebpur to Jamtoil, to connect the eastern part of the Bangladesh railway system to the western part. The problem of two different gauges in two different parts of the country was solved by introducing dual gauge. Second, a 245 kilometres (152 mi) length of broad gauge track from Jamtoil to Parbatpur was to be converted to dual gauge.

Pabna Mental Hospital In Photo

Descriptions Of Mental Hospital

Mental Hospital (manosic haspatal) an establishment or institution that provides medical and surgical treatment and nursing care for mentally retarded, sick or injured persons. Mental health service in Bangladesh is poorly developed compared to the developed and most of the developing countries of the world. Pabna Mental Hospital is the first and the only mental hospital in Bangladesh for a population of about 130 million. It was established in 1957 by the then Civil Surgeon of Pabna District in a local landlord's house. In 1959 it was shifted to Hemayetpur, about 8 km from the district town, in an area of 111.25 acres of land. Initially the number of beds was 60 and subsequently was increased to 200. Later in 1966 another 200 beds were added. Out of the total beds, 280 are non-paying and 120 are paying beds. There are 18 wards in the hospital- 13 (11 non-paying and 2 paying) for male patients and 5 (4 non-paying and 1 paying) for female patients. Currently efforts are being made to add another 100 beds.

The Director is the administrative head of the hospital. It has 365 sanctioned posts, including 24 psychiatrists, doctors, clinical psychologists, biochemists, psychiatric social workers etc, the remaining are supporting staffs that include nurses, pharmacist, radiographer, technicians, occupational therapists, administrative assistants etc.

Mental Hospital, Pabna

The hospital provides service to the patients coming from all over the country. There are separate departments for the indoor and outdoor patients. Outdoor department takes decision whether to admit a patient in the hospital or not. Generally patients under 18 years and above 60 years are not admitted in the hospital. Patients with drug addiction problems are admitted only in paying beds. The patients who are not admitted in the hospital are given advice and medicine free of charge. They are advised to visit outdoor department every 15 days till they are fully recovered. Although drug therapy is the main vehicle of treatment, group therapy and occupational therapy are also provided to the patients. There is arrangement for indoor and outdoor sports, cultural activities etc. In case of indoor patients the physicians on duty follow them up everyday. For routine examination of patients facilities such as X-ray, pathology laboratory, ECG, electroencephalogram (EEG) etc, are available. Most of the patients admitted in the hospital are schizophrenic. During 1996 to 1998 the total number of patients treated in outdoor departments was about 90,000 and in indoor departments about 2,800.

There is no rehabilitation centre in Bangladesh for the mental patients. Pabna Mental Hospital has a government registered Welfare Society. This Society provides fund for sending patients home after their recovery and supplies essential life saving drugs. Besides, the Society provides jobs to the capable patients during their stay in the hospital. The Directorate of Society Welfare of the Government of Bangladesh gives an annual grant to the Society. It also runs a number of projects such as, dairy and agricultural farms. Income generated from them is used for the welfare of the patients. The Society also receives donations from NGOs and private individuals and firms.

According to the WHO's global estimate of mental patients, Bangladesh with a population of about 130 million in 1998 had about 1.2 million severe mental patients and about 12.0 million mild mental patients. Recently, the National Mental Health Institute has been established in Dhaka that started functioning in 2000. All the Government Medical College Hospitals and the Combined Military Hospitals (CMH), and few private clinics have psychiatric wards. Narayanganj General Hospital and few private clinics have also wards for mental patients. In 1999 a 50 beds Mental Health Hospital with outdoor facilities was established in Sylhet under private management. The number of beds may be increased to 100 with added facilities in future. It has started treating outdoor patients with nominal charges.

One bed for two hundred thousand patients in Bangladesh is too meagre compared to any developing country in the world including the neighbouring countries. Considering the present inadequate facilities for treatment of mental patients, the government had decided to establish separate wards for them in all newly establishment Medical College Hospitals.

History of Himaitpur Mental Hospital

Hemayetpur Mental Hospital, the only govt. mental facility in Bangladesh

Hemayetpur or Himaitpur (Bengali: হেমায়েতপুর, হিমাইতপুর) is a small village of Pabna Sadar Upazila in Pabna District of Bangladesh. It is situated on the bank of Padma river.

This is a birthplace of Sree Sree Thakur Anukulchandra. He initiated a spiritual movement in Bangladesh which subsequently spread to India. He preached the simplicity of life and attainment of high spiritual realization. He never advocated austerity and instead promoted the normal way of life through which self-realization could be attained. He was a great physician, educationist and social reformer, who influenced great leaders of his time.Mahatma Gandhi visited him in Himaitpur as did other leaders, to seek his views and draw inspiration for creating a new India. He had built a philanthropic organization called 'Satsang' in Himaitpur. Sri Sri Thakur Anukulchandra left Himaitpur and came to Deoghar, Jharkhand, India on 1 September 1946 and in 1947 the partition of India happened. The Satsang buildings of Sree Sree Thakur were taken over by the then Eastern Pakistan (now Bangladesh) government with Vested Property Act. Pabna Mental Hospital was moved into them in 1960. The entire property of Sree Sree Thakur still remains public property of Bangladesh Government till today.

Hemayetpur has the only government-run mental hospital in Bangladesh.

Many people misuse the name 'Himaitpur' as 'Hemayetpur' for people who are mentally challenged, it is because of the presence of Bangladesh's largest mental hospital in this district. This has been a long lasting tradition among Bangladeshis.
