Dear Honorbale Prime Minister Dr Singh,
Among the 374 model colleges proposed in educationall backward districts in the nation, 18 districts are from Orissa. These districts were Boudh, Malkangiri, Nuapada, Kandhamal, Gajapati, Nabarangpur, Sonepur, Koraput, Deogarh, Bargarh, Anugul, Kalahandi, Balangir,Nayagarh, Rayagada, Kendujhar, Ganjam, and Dhenkanal. As per various report model colleges in Malkangiri and Boudh are to be established in Phase 1 with Colleges per Lakh Population (CPI) below 4, in Kandhamal and Nuapada in Phase 2 with CPI 4 to 8, and the rest in Phase 3 with CPI 8.1-12.4.
It is unfortunate to learn that the model college proposed in Kalahandi is being shifted somewhere else, the district not in the original list, citing non-availability of land in Kalahandi. As per guideline 10 acres of the land is required for the porposed model college and in Kalahandi there are many sites for the same. We suspect that there is a faul playing by the local administration to shift the model college proposed in Kalahandi as per CPI. The injustice is being done due to negliginece of disitirtc administration of Kalahandi and state level political favortism can't be ruled out. We would even like to arrange personal 10 acres of land if the state and district administration is not able to locate land for the propose model college. As per my knowledhe Icchapur village near Bhawanipatna has 45 acres of Govt. land near to Bhawanipatna. Not to menion 100 of acres of land in Thumul Rampur, tens of acres land near Jaring, where a pvt medical college is being established are available. Even we can privately arrange 10 acres of land in my home town, Dharamgarh, if a chance is given for the said project.
As per 2011 census literacy rate of Kalahandi district is 60% whereas state average of Odisha is 73% and national average of India is 74%. Educational development of Kalahandi is utmost important for its development. And unfortunately disitrct and state administrations are playing politics over the issue.
I urge you to take necessary action to stop injustice made to the tribal and educationally backward people of Kalahandi while establishing model college as per national policy.
Thank you and best regards

Its really a serious issue on which all the political establishment should get together and take up at all the forums available . It is not the first time injustice has been done with Kalahandi . It really pains when the reason is mearly for lack of land.If we re call the past in fact it is the histry most of the schools are being established by donation of Land by private people For Example : Br Chhendia High School , Dharamgarh Panchyat College , Kashibahal M E School and many more. In fact there is vast developed land scape available at Matura where a suger factory was being run during 90's which failed in a short span of 3 to 4 year and no one has bothered to revive the same. This can be used for a Model College .
