Bhubaneswar: The Tata Memorial Centre (TMC) is set to establish a Cancer Hospital & Education Centre in Jatani, Odisha. The State Cabinet has approved the proposal, which was put forth by the Revenue and Disaster Management Department.

The government has allocated 48.842 acres of land in the mouzas of Padanpur, Baratota, Bhimapur, and Belapada, within Jatani Tehsil, Khordha district, for the project. This land will be leased to the National Institute of Science Education & Research (NISER), Bhubaneswar, at no cost.
