Insane decision - By Sandip K. Dasverma

Dear Readers,

I thank Shri Dasverma for putting forth the facts that the State Govt has failed to provide justice to the  KBK Region and the Western Orissa Districts in the matter of providing quality  health care/education, for reasons best known to the Govt.

It is also true that the Coastal Districts of the State are receiving relatively better attention not only from the Govt Sector but also from the Private Sector.

Therefore, ( when  the Govt has failed )  we should  pursuade  the  Private Sector to come forward for providing Health Care/Education as well as General Education, to KBK and Backward Districts of Western Orissa.

Indeed, the Corporate  Sectors ( specially those who are already in the State exploiting Mineral Resources and damaging the vital Eco-system )  shd not be allowed to operate in the Coastal Districts, which will automatically attaract many players ( including our State grown), because of better infrastructure facilities and other logistics, available in the coastal areas.  In order to achieve all round development of the State we must  make efforts to divert the Corporate Sectors to the designated Backward Districts of the State.

Perhaps, it would have been befitting for the Vedanta Group to have given adequate thought on this subject  and to have gone for  setting up a  "World Class and State of Art"  Medical and  Health  Care University in the KBK/Western Orissa.

At the same time, the People of Orissa have to fight for  getting due attention  from the Central Govt for improvement of Infrastructure, such as Railways/ Highways/ Water Supply , etc in  Western  Orissa.


Thanks,
