Cuttack: Tribal agricultural activist and Padma awardee Kamala Pujari was shifted to the intensive care unit (ICU) from the casualty ward of SCB Medical College and Hospital in Cuttack after her condition worsened on Wednesday.
She was admitted to the hospital from Jeypore district headquarters hospital (DHH) in Koraput in a critical condition. The SCB authorities have formed a special team of doctors for the treatment of 73-year-old Pujari, who is suffering from kidney-related ailments.
According to sources, Pujari was brought to DHH on August 21 by a woman health worker from Patraput in an ambulance after suffering from fever and loose motion for two to three days.
The tribal woman of Patraput village in Koraput was conferred with Padma Shri in 2019 for reserving hundreds of indigenous species of paddy. Besides collecting several endangered and rare types of crop seeds including paddy, turmeric, til and black cumin, she popularised organic farming in Koraput.
