Health university in Warangal to be named after Kaloji
Health university in Warangal to be named after Kaloji
The Telangana government has announced the setting up
of a health university for the State at Warangal which will be named
after poet Kaloji Narayana Rao.
Kaloji, whose birth
centenary was celebrated recently, hailed from Warangal. It was at this
function that Deputy Chief Minister and Health Minister T. Rajaiah
incurred the ire of Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao for saying that
he hoped Mr. Rao would sanction the university at Warangal.
Mr.
Rao’s rebuke invited a sharp reaction from SC organisations which
backed Dr. Rajaiah, also an SC. However, Dr. Rajaiah defended what he
said, arguing that there were demands for a health varsity from other
districts. As Minister of health, he said he was well within his rights
to seek the university in his home district. Also, there was land for
the university in Warangal because the Kakatiya Medical College was
located on a huge campus. The teaching hospital for the college – MGM
Hospital – was also recently upgraded as a superspeciality institution
with increased bed strength.
