 "Subroto, Susmita Bagchi donate Rs 340 crore to set up health facilities")
MindTree co-founder Subroto Bagchi said on Monday that he and his wife would donate Rs 340 crore towards a cancer hospital and palliative care centre in Odisha.
“Susmita & I will donate Rs 340 crore to bring @karunashraya to set up a world class palliative care unit & @shankaracancer for a cutting-edge cancer hospital. Deeply grateful @CMO_Odisha for the shared vision & support. Odisha will soon emerge as a leading oncology player in India,” he tweeted on Monday.

The donation is part of the Odisha Cabinet’s approval of a cancer hospital in Bhubaneswar as Bagchi-Sri Shankara Cancer Hospital & Research Centre and the establishment of Karunashraya Palliative Care Centre at Bhubaneswar.
