In a recent interview, Harilila Das, head of ISKCON Mayapur’s Health Care Division, shared the latest updates on the Sri Mayapur Community Hospital project. The ground-breaking initiative is spread across an area of approximately five acres and will have a palliative care facility, a birth center, and a nursing college.
The unique integration of healthcare, educational, and spiritual elements in the design is aimed at uplifting individuals and the surrounding region. Harilila Das explained, “In the Brahmastan, there will be a small Dhanvantri temple, and around that, our 250-bed superspeciality hospital will be there. So this is the plan for developing the whole hospital area.”
He continued, “The nursing college is a very significant part of the project. It can accept 60 students per batch, so in four years, 240 students can be trained. This is important for two reasons: First, we can train our local devotee kids to become qualified nurses and serve. Secondly, we can actually upskill the village people and the tribal people and train them as nurses, thereby giving them better career opportunities. So socially for us and for the surrounding that’s a very important project.”
