15 crore goes from KBK to Andhra each year for health service

Thanks to Sanjib Kumar Joshi to bring this figure in Dharitri. Earlier we have raised huge amount of (health) business going out from KBK to Vishakhapatnam fueling local economy there. I believe this figure could be at least 15 crore and could be much more than that.We have been telling Odisha state Government for a Government medical college in Kalahandi citing this reasons. Poor are being exploited in the ground level in Kalahandi, in KBK in general, by local doctors and agents. The proposed private medical college through WODC neither taking its shape (locals are skeptical after Sardar Raja was given life imprisonment for a murder case in Madras High Court) soon nor would help local poor. A Government medical college and hospital is justified in Kalahandi, being central location in KBK and Kandhamal, Boudh, it would help the whole region.
