Employees’ State Insurance Corporation to Set up Medical College in West Bengal
June 30th, 2008
With a view to meet the shortage of doctors in the state, the ESIC intends to set up a medical college in the state at Baltikuri in Howrah while upgrading the existing ESI Hospitals at Joka and Manicktala to Post-graduate medical colleges.
Classes most likely to start from 2009 onwards for both Under-Graduate and Post-Graduate level Courses at the above mentioned places.
A proposal is to be sent to the Medical Council of India shortly.

Thank you Abhi for this posting. We can push the Orissa govt. to pursue the same with ESI in Orissa.

Chitta Sir:
We seem to be loosing out quite a bit when it comes to institutional investments and/or involvement in the HRD scene in Orissa.
Our Govt. should work more in this regard. (Pl. re. issues like NALCO not contributing enough ,chiefly by way of CSR, to establish good instis. amongst others).
Hope we could get the Govt. do something in this regard and soon enough.
Abhi,
NUJS

We have written about this to the CMO as well as to NALCO and others. We need a sustained campaign on this.
