its good news that the people of koraput can enjoy tertiary level service in the field of medicine without travelling to places like vizag and spending more than what is actually required.hope the govt.doesnt delay the project.

It is just right time for all of us to pitch in for MBBS programmes and Bachelor of Rural Medicine at central university orissa.
Central govt. is busy planning nitty gritties of Bachelor of Rural Medicine (4-years programme). The doctors from this programme will serve rural/backward areas. In my view these doctors should be given chance to become MBBS after a stipulated period of service, which is similar to lateral entry scheme in engineering courses.
