For this purpose, Health Minister Naba Kishore Das visited Jharsuguda to identify the land for the construction of the projects. Minister Naba, along with a high-level team of district officials and members of Art of Living visited Balijuri and Malimunda in Jharsuguda to verify the land.
With an Ayurvedic wellness centre and a medical college in one city, people will get quality education and health care altogether.
