Engineering and Medical College in Keonjhar?
August 19th, 2008
Following is an excerpt from a report in Statesman.
Keonjhar will soon have a medical college and an engineering college, said Bombay Oriya Mahasangha president Mr Bipin Bihari Mishra here recently. The Mahasangha will also take steps for the beautification of the major tourist spots, he added while addressing the media here today.
“As a man from Keonjhar, it deeply shocked me to see how miserable is the living condition of the people living in the remote villages. In Keonjhar, the villages are still away from the government’s various developmental programmes,” Mr Mishra lamented while explaining his plans for overall growth of the mineral-rich district. “We will adopt a village and work for its overall development. Then another village will be adopted and developed and so on,” Mr Mishra pointed out. He discussed with the media about the various problems the district is presently facing and possible ways to get rid of the problems.
… “We ensure that the cancer patients from Orissa are being treated at Tata Memorial Hospital and Cancer Research Institute free of cost, and we will also arrange for the stay of the attendants at a very nominal price as low as Rs 10 a day,” he said adding that an ‘Utakal Bhawan’ is going to come up on a land of 30,000 sq feet in Mumbai with the initiative of the Maha-sangha.

Mr Mishar’s initiative is appreciable, despite rich in mineral Keonjhar was ignored while establishing higher educational institute in the state except recently state Government proposed Orissa school of mining. It also deserves a state university.

Keonjhar is mineral rich district but still lagging behind,some of the private and public sector company only have intrest in mines and does not work for betterment of locality and its people.Once I had oppertunity to visit Keonjhar,full of natural beauty but its road and people condition are really pathetic
Goverenment should implement the policy to develop the locality by mines owner,because these company getting benefit but does not have moral to do anything for socity in which they operate
I know Mr Bipin Bihari Mishra personally and his concern towards his native is genuine and effort should be taken to acheive the common interest of this locality

The state Govt. who are in BBSR doesn’t listen to others. The Govt. is useless in thinking about other regions except BBSR and near by areas ( their local areas ) . They don’t have any vision for oDishA.
