Dear honorable Chief Minister, Mr. Patnaik,
It is very disappointing and painful to learn that the state
government has not yet finalized the sponsor for Balangir Medical
College since the project was proposed in 2004.
As reported in the media
(http://www.tathya.in/2009/story.asp?sno=3053) state govt. has
received six proposals from: Dr.D Meher Education & Health Trust,
Balangir, Santhigiri Ashram, Kerala, Sahayata Trust, Hydrabad, supreme
Task, New Delhi, Vigyan Bharati Charitable Trust, Bhubaneswar and RVS
Educational Trust, Tamil Nadu. However, now no body is in a mood to
finalize the promoter out of the six contenders.

Health facility is very crucial for places which are far away from the
state capital and needs long hours travel such as Balangir.
Many of us have been working hard to establish a Medical College in
Balangir region since past decades keeping backwardness of this region
in mind. People of Balangir have been voting for BJD constantly which
is evident that both MLA and MP seats for Balangir is currently
represented by your party. It is the high time Orissa state government
should take a strong stand on this issue.
The private medical colleges proposed under WODC are not moving as
expected since past six years. Now there are many proposals but the
government is not taking this issue seriously.
On the other hand state Government is taking serious steps to
establish Government medical college in Bhubaneswar and other parts of
the state.

State Government Medical Colleges in Orissa are:
(1) SCB Medical College Cuttack
(2) VSS Medical College Sambalpur
(3) MKCG Medical College Berhampur
(4) Capital (Hospital) Medical College Bhubaneswar
(5) Medical College in Balasore (proposed)
Medical College proposed by Central Government Ministries in Orissa are:
(1) AIIMS like institute in Bhubaneswar
(2) ESIC Medical College Bhubaneswar (better would be to etstablish it
in Balangir/Rourkela)
(3) Medical College in Talcher by MCI (Ministry of Coal)
(4) Medical College in Balasore by Defence Department (proposed)
(5) Medical College under Central University of Orissa at Koraput
(6) Medical College under IGNTU branch in Phulbani (proposed)
Private Medical Colleges in Orissa
KIMS Bhubaneswar
Hi-Tech Medical College Bhubaneswar
Sum & IMS medical College Bhubaneswar
There are many other private medical college proposals in Bhubaneswar,
Puri (Vedanta University, world class hospital), Balasore, Koraput,
Naraja (Cuttack), Choudwar (Cuttack), Berhampur, Kalahandi (through
WODC), Balangir (through WODC), Rourkela (through WODC & others) that
needs to be functional.
Private medical colleges & hospitals rarely fulfill need of poor
people in place like Balangir, Kalahandi etc, where geographical
location can be more valuable to save life. Many lives are being lost
every year in the KBK region just because of this. When state
Government is establishing Government medical colleges in other parts
of Orissa where similar private one is being proposed, there is also
no logic why simultaneously Government should not establish Government
medical college in KBK, especially where it is absolutely necessary,
when private one is being encouraged through WODC.
We propose the state Government to take following steps to establish
Government medical college in Orissa.
(1). State Government medical college in Sundergarh, the ideal would
be if ESIC Medical College is not possible in Balangir due to members
then establish it in Sundergarh (Rourkela)
(2). State Government medical college in Balangir
(3). State Government medical college in Kalahandi
(4). State Government medical college in Keonjhar
(5). State Government medical college in Mayurbhanj
(6). Pursuing to convert VSS medical college to AIIMS type institution
I hope you take appropriate step to expedite while selecting private
party to establish medical college in Balangir and simultaneously an
establish Government medical college.
Thank you and best regards
