Mysore/Mysuru: With the prestigious Mysore Medical College and Research Institute (MMC&RI) set to mark its Centenary in the last week of September this year, developmental works totalling Rs. 89 crore are progressing rapidly and are expected to conclude by July.
Dr. K.R. Dakshayani, Dean and Director of MMC&RI, revealed plans for a three-day centenary celebration from Sept. 21 to Sept. 28. In anticipation of these festivities, extensive renovation and modernisation efforts are underway across the Institute’s historic structures, including the men’s hostel, K.R. and Cheluvamba Hospitals within the K.R. Hospital premises, and the PKTB Sanatorium on KRS Road. The previous BJP Government allocated Rs. 89 crore for these modernisation and renovation endeavours. Following this, the Medical Education Department in Bengaluru initiated a centralised tender process, resulting in the issuance of a work order to the successful bidder, informed Dr. Dakshayani.
