Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi announced a new medical college and hospital for Nabarangpur on February 13, but four months later, the official notification is still pending. The proposed facility is set to include 100 MBBS seats and 420 beds on a 50-acre site near Padalaguda. Residents are currently facing healthcare challenges, with many being referred to Koraput or Visakhapatnam due to the lack of local advanced facilities. District Collector Dr. Maheswar Swain stated that DPR and design preparation are underway at the state level, and work will commence once government orders are received. https://sambad.in/district/nabarangpur/nabarangpur-medical-college-project-delay-no-notification-after-cm-announcement-12028701 #creator program
