Her itinerary includes inaugurating an All India Institute of Medical Sciences Bhubaneswar Satellite Centre at the Sub-Divisional Hospital and a medical camp organised by AIIMS Bhubaneswar.
The President will also open a mega integrated rural piped water supply project for mining-affected villages in Kusumi block. The evening schedule will conclude with the inauguration of the Brahma Kumaris’ Matrushakti Bhavan, a newly constructed special Circuit House, and the Rairangpur Police District.
