PATNA: Chief minister Nitish Kumar on Saturday inaugurated the medical services at the newly built Jan Nayak Karpoori Thakur Medical College and Hospital in Madhepura, developed at the cost of Rs781 crore. He said admission to the medical college will begin soon after getting permission from the Medical Council of India (MCI).
The CM also inaugurated 2502 schemes and laid foundation for 2161 projects worth Rs340 crore in the district through remote system from the dais.
He said the medical college was proposed in 2005 and its foundation was laid in June 2013. “Today I am having immense pleasure in inaugurating it,” he said.
While addressing the gathering, Nitish hit out at the opposition saying few people were simply giving baseless statements for vote bank and they were not concerned for development. “I do not work for vote bank politics. Serving people is my dharma. If people of Bihar give me another opportunity to serve them, we will provide water for irrigation in all agricultural fields,” he said.
Expressing his love for Madhepura, Nitish said: “I have deep association with Madhepura and due respect for Singeshwar Sthan since beginning.”
He also said uninterrupted power supply had been ensured in the medical college and precautions were taken to avoid any short-circuit. He even announced to install a statue of Karpoori Thakur on the medical college premises before August so that an official programme could be organized on the birth anniversary of the noted socialist leader.
Nitish thanked the vice-chancellor of Bhupendra Narayan Mandal University and others associated with it for providing 25 acres of land to set up the medical college and hospital.
He even instructed officials present there to ensure that all the schemes for which foundations were laid on Saturday get started on time.
