Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik, on Wednesday, laid foundation stone for a 100-bed Tata Steel funded Super Specialty Eye Care Hospital and a ITI of NTPC Limited at Samarajholo and Bhusanda, near Sheragada in his home constituency, Hinjili in Ganjam district.
The government had signed MoU with NTPC recently for setting up of the ITI at Bhusanda at a cost of Rs 7.72 crore. It will churn out 200 skilled persons every year. The ITI will have advanced vocational training facilities in manufacturing, automobile, electrical and other trades.
Similarly, the eye hospital will be operated by Sankara Eye Hospital of Tamil Nadu. The chief minister handed over a cheque of Rs 6.7 crore to Sankara Eye Hospital authorities, as part of the financial support announced by Tata Steel for the hospital. Tata Steel has agreed to provide Rs 42.3 crore grant for the hospital and its infrastructure.
The Tata Steel is also setting up 500 bed multi-specialty hospitals at Sitalapali near Gopalpur. Chief minister also laid foundation stones for eight different projects for Berhampur University, including its satellite campus at Rayagada and first Cluster University at Berhampur. The cluster university would be made by upgrading the 137-year old Khallikote autonomous college under Ratriya Uttachatara Sikshya Abiyana (RUSA) - a centrally sponsored programme.
