Complete Keonjhar medical college in two years: Odisha CM

Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Wednesday directed officials to ensure completion of the proposed government Medical College in Keonjhar district in two years.

The proposed medical college was a long standing demand of locals in the district.

The 100-seat medial college project, entailing investment of Rs 314 crore in tribal-dominated mineral-rich district, has been assigned to Tata Projects for building construction, a release from the Chief Minister's Office said.

Patnaik laid the foundation stone in November last year.
