Digambara Patra, a non-resident Oriya (NRO) professor, has highlighted the apathy of both the State and Central Governments towards the KBK region for its lack of infrastructural development and which till date continues to remain as the most backward pockets in the country.
In a letter to the Union Minister of Human Resource Development Kapil Sibal, he has drawn his attention to the health facilities in the KBK which he terms as “one of the worst in the nation” lacking in “health professionals” and “the infrastructure provided in this region is insufficient and under equipped.”
He remarked that when 80 people died from swine flu, it created panic and flutter in the country whereas hundreds of lives are lost every year in KBK from common diseases which does not stir the nation’s thinking. He cites that 25 people recently died of diarrhea in Kalahandi, but the nation was insensitive about it except for a few in the State media.
Emphasising the health sector in KBK he strikes a optimistic note on the Central University of Orissa at Koraput, which would include a medical college. The State and the Central Governments’ initiatives in Kalahandi and Balangir region in establishment of industries or higher education institutions have not come up.
Patra, an assistant professor in the department of chemistry in the American University in Beirut urges the government in the establishment of Central University at Koraput to be exclusively KBK centric by taking the proposed medical colleges through WODC initiatives of the State Government. He states that medical campuses in Bhawanipatna and Balangir can be further expanded as three full fledged off-campuses of CUO having various disciplines as medicine, engineering, science and arts.
Addressing copies of the letter to the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and the Chief Minister of Orissa he hopes the State Government would take urgent steps to uplift medical education, providing secondary health facility and higher education exclusively for KBK region.
