Teachers Hospital to be constructed in Chitwan

Chitwan: Minister for Education, Science and Technology Devendra Paudel has said that a hospital for teachers would be constructed in Bharatpur Metropolitan City and works would be immediately forwarded in that connection.

Talking to RSS today, he said, “The works on construction of the Teachers Hospital would be started in this fiscal year alone by taking forward the necessary legal process for its construction in Chitwan. We will soon make a proposal in this regard in the meeting of the Council of Ministers soon.” He said although it might take some time due to the legal process, works on construction of the Hospital would not be stopped for any other reason.

The Pre-feasibility Study and Land Identification Committee submitted its report to Minister Paudel on Wednesday stating that it would be appropriate to construct the Hospital in Bharatpur. It is said initially the Hospital would be of 300 beds capacity and its capacity would be gradually expanded.

A visitors’ accommodation would also be constructed in the hospital premises. Bharatpur Metropolis mayor Renu Dahal said that the land for the Hospital would be provided at Bhagawanpur, Ward No 15 of the metropolis. The metropolis has made a decision and also prepared the official documents for providing eight bighas and 16 kaththas lands at Bhagawanpur. It has given these documents to the Committee.

The metropolis together with responsible government officials including the Chief District Officer agreed to provide the land for the Hospital. —
