In a landmark event for Maharashtra's tribal heartland, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis laid the foundation stone for a massive Educational and Medical Complex in Rajeshwarpalli, Sironcha taluka, Gadchiroli district, on November 10, 2025.
This transformative project, valued at a staggering ₹1,468 crore and spread across 264 acres, is poised to become a beacon of progress in a region historically marked by underdevelopment and left-wing extremism. It represents a decisive step towards bringing world-class infrastructure to Maharashtra's southernmost frontier.
A Collaborative Vision for Transformation
The ambitious initiative is the brainchild of Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis's developmental vision and has been actively championed by Shri Rana Suryawanshi, Director of Rana Shipping Company and a noted social worker. It stands as a powerful example of a successful public-private partnership.
The integrated complex will feature a 350-bed multispecialty hospital, a medical college, and advanced educational institutions offering professional courses in engineering, dentistry, and nursing. The management of this state-of-the-art facility has been entrusted to Ruby Hospital and Wellness Pvt. Ltd.
Ending Decades of Deprivation
Addressing the gathering, Chief Minister Fadnavis declared that the foundation stone marks the dawn of inclusive development for the region. He emphasized that the project would ensure that quality healthcare, education, and employment opportunities reach the most remote corners of Maharashtra.
The Chief Minister lauded Shri Rana Suryawanshi for his vision, underscoring how such strategic infrastructure demonstrates the profound impact of constructive collaboration between the government and private entities.
Catalyst for Regional Growth
The new complex is strategically positioned to serve not just the residents of Gadchiroli but also the populations of neighboring districts and the bordering states of Telangana and Chhattisgarh.
For generations, people in this area have endured immense hardship, forced to travel long distances to major cities like Mumbai, Pune, Nagpur, and Hyderabad for specialized medical treatment and higher education. This new facility will eliminate that arduous journey, firmly establishing Gadchiroli as a new regional hub for growth and prosperity.
In a significant additional announcement, Chief Minister Fadnavis revealed Gadchiroli's emergence as a Green Steel Hub, signaling accelerated industrial development and its integration into Maharashtra's mainstream economic narrative.
Shri Rana Suryawanshi expressed his profound gratitude for the Chief Minister's unwavering support, stating that this initiative would bring transformative relief and unlock new opportunities for the people of Gadchiroli. He reaffirmed his steadfast commitment to the district's long-term progress.
The foundation stone ceremony was graced by the presence of several dignitaries, including Dr. Parvez Grant from Ruby Hospital, Minister of State Adv. Ashish Jaiswal, MLA Dr. Milind Narote, and senior police and administrative officials.
This visionary project marks a definitive turning point for Gadchiroli, setting new benchmarks for access, opportunity, and inclusive growth at the tri-state border and heralding a brighter future for the region.
