Four govt. polytechnics in Malkangiri, Boudh, Gajapati and Sambalpur districts approved
January 25th, 2009
Following is from a report in Pioneer.
The Centre has approved a proposal to set up four polytechnics in Malkangiri, Boudh, Gajapati and Sambalpur districts of the State.
In order to lure the youth of the Maoist-predominant areas towards technical education the Union Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) has chalked out a plan to establish more diploma engineering institutions. Orissa being largely affected by Leftwing extremism has been benefited handsomely. Malkangiri is the State’s worst Maoist-hit district.
While each polytechnic will be established at the cost of Rs 12 crore, the MHRD has provided Rs 8 crore as the first installment. Technical Education Director Vir Vikaram Yadav said the State Government is planning to establish polytechnics in all districts. The State now has 13 polytechnics, while there are seven such private institutions imparting diploma in engineering.
With the four new institutions planned, many other districts are still left out. The new districts carved out in the 1990s, Kendrapada, Jagatsinghpur, Bhadrak, Nayagarh, Nabarangpur and Subarnapur do not have any polytechnic.
Yadav said that the State Government also decided to cover all the blocks with Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs). Accordingly, plans are afoot to cover 125 blocks which are yet to have an ITI.

We are catching up in engineering colleges, but we really need to get moving on health care.WHO (World heath Organization) uses a metric called no of hospital beds/ 1000 people to gauge the health care services available in a country along with other parameters.As per WHO the minimum ratio should be 2.In USA it’s 4, in Japan it’s 10.In India thsi ratio is 1 and for orissa this ratio is an abysmal .38.Please see the chart in my blog post.

With current hospital beds of mere 14000 we need to treble this figure to catch up with national average.We are at absolute bottom as far as healthcare service is concerned.And Orissa Govt must take up steps in war footing to rectify this situation.
