Odisha to Get Second AIIMS in Sambalpur: CM Mohan Majhi Unveils Plans during CM-Kisan Yojana Launch

Sambalpur - A landmark announcement has brought a wave of excitement to the people of Sambalpur, as Chief Minister Mohan Majhi revealed plans for the establishment of Odisha's second AIIMS at Sambalpur district. The declaration, made during the inauguration of the CM-Kisan Yojana at GM University auditorium, marks a significant milestone in the state's healthcare development. 

Sambalpur's AIIMS: A New Era of Healthcare 

During the event, CM Majhi emphasized the state's commitment to enhancing healthcare infrastructure. Sambalpur, known for its rich cultural heritage, will now also be recognized as a hub for advanced medical care. The proposed AIIMS will be the second in Odisha, following the first in Bhubaneswar, and will cater to the healthcare needs of the western region of the state, reducing the dependency on the Bhubaneswar facility for critical care. 

"This isn't merely a healthcare initiative; it's a testament to our dedication to improving the lives of the people of Odisha," stated Majhi. "With AIIMS coming to Sambalpur, we aim to provide world-class medical services closer to home for the people of western Odisha." 

The state government has already placed a formal request for the establishment of the AIIMS in Sambalpur with the central government. Majhi expressed confidence that the proposal would be accepted, given the growing healthcare needs of the region and the strategic importance of Sambalpur as a central location. 

CM-Kisan Yojana and Krushi Vidya Nidhi Yojana 

The announcement of the new AIIMS was not the only good news for the people of Odisha. During the same event, the Chief Minister also launched the CM-Kisan Yojana, a major initiative aimed at supporting the state’s farmers. As part of this scheme, nearly 46 lakh farmers across Odisha received financial assistance totaling Rs 925 crore. 

In addition, Majhi introduced the Krushi Vidya Nidhi Yojana, a scholarship program designed to provide educational opportunities for the children of CM-Kisan Yojana beneficiaries. This initiative will enable children from farming families to pursue higher education in technical fields, giving them access to better career opportunities. 

Nuakhai Celebrations: A Festival of Prosperity 

The launch of these significant initiatives coincided with the Nuakhai festival, an important cultural event in Western Odisha that celebrates the harvest. Majhi highlighted the symbolic timing of the announcements, stating that the state government’s focus on agricultural development and healthcare resonates with the spirit of Nuakhai, which celebrates abundance and well-being. 

"Supporting our farmers and their families is at the heart of our vision for Odisha's future," Majhi remarked. "These programs are designed to invest in the next generation, equipping them with the resources needed to secure a brighter tomorrow." 

A Vision for Odisha’s Future 

Chief Minister Mohan Majhi’s announcements underline his administration’s commitment to inclusive development across Odisha. From healthcare infrastructure to educational opportunities and financial support for farmers, the state government is laying the foundation for a stronger and more resilient Odisha. 

The establishment of the second AIIMS in Sambalpur is poised to be a game-changer for the region. With improved access to advanced medical care, people from the western districts of Odisha will no longer have to travel long distances for treatment. The move is expected to significantly reduce the burden on existing healthcare facilities and improve overall healthcare outcomes in the state. 

Furthermore, the CM-Kisan Yojana and Krushi Vidya Nidhi Yojana reflect the government’s recognition of the vital role that farmers play in the state's economy. By supporting both the current generation of farmers and their children, the state is investing in the long-term growth and development of Odisha. 

In conclusion, the announcements made by Chief Minister Mohan Majhi have set the stage for transformative changes in Odisha’s healthcare and educational sectors. The people of Sambalpur and the state at large can look forward to a brighter future, with better access to medical care and greater opportunities for the next generation. 

As Odisha moves forward, the combination of strategic healthcare investments, farmer support programs, and educational initiatives will ensure that the state continues to thrive and prosper.
