The Patalganga Trust in Patalganga village of Dev block, Aurangabad, has donated roughly 20 bighas of land for a proposed medical college. With the land registration now complete, the primary hurdle to construction has been cleared.
Patalganga Trust, a local charitable organization in Patalganga village of Dev block, Aurangabad district, has formally transferred about 20 bighas of land to the state government for the establishment of a new medical college. The donation was made public after the land registry process was finalized, removing the legal bottleneck that had previously delayed the project.
The proposed college aims to address the shortage of medical education seats and healthcare facilities in the region, a long‑standing demand among local residents and health officials. Officials from the Bihar Health Department have welcomed the donation, stating that the cleared land will now allow construction to commence without further administrative delays.
Construction agencies are expected to begin groundwork soon, pending standard environmental and planning clearances. The initiative is seen as a significant step toward improving medical infrastructure in the underserved parts of Bihar.
Stakeholders, including local politicians and community leaders, have praised the trust’s contribution, describing it as a "large gift" that will benefit future generations of students and patients alike.
The project is slated to be completed in phases, with the first batch of students anticipated to enroll once the initial campus buildings are operational.
