Kalpana Chawla Medical University to be build on 100 acres land in Haryana
The Haryana state government decided to establish a medical college at Karnal in the memory of famous Astronaut Late Kalpana Chawla who belonged to Karnal.
In a review meeting in Chandigarh about the Kalpana Chawla Government Medical College (KCMC), Chief Minister of Haryana, Manohar Lal Khattar, announced the construction of the KCMC on 100 acres land in Kutail village of Karnal districts.
Kalpana Chawla was the first Indian-American astronaut and first Indian woman in space. She was among the seven astronauts who were tragically killed in the Space Shuttle Columbia. She was born in Karnal on July 1, 1961, as the youngest of four children.
Announcing the construction, Khattar mentioned that at least one medical college with 200 seats, 750-1,000 bedded hospital, a dental college and few more medical institutions in coordination with the Centre would be set up in the university campus, adding that all modern medical facilities would be provided in the university.
As for the KCGMC, Sukhija said Khattar had asked officials to speed up the work and complete it as per schedule. “The college with 100 seats will be started from the 2016-17 session,” Sukhija said, adding that Rs 645 crore would be incurred in the KCGMC and Rs 143 crore had already been spent on it.
The Chief Minister further said that the construction of buildings of the Medical University would be completed in four to five years. Khattar also directed to widen the road adjoining the KCGMC to solve the problem of traffic congestion.
The Director of Kalpana Chawla Medical College would present next month a concept paper on the proposed university which would have all the details about all the modern and quality services.
