Currently, Odisha has a fully functional AIIMS in Bhubaneswar, which has emerged as one of the leading AIIMS in the country in terms of medical education and quality health care, Mr Tripathy said.
The Chief Secretary said the infrastructure for college and Hospital is readily available in Sundergarh.
As a CSR initiative, an MOU has been signed between the Odisha government and NTPC to establish a medical college and hospital.
