Social scientists argue Niyamgiri was exploitation as there was no Vedanta University and Central University in Kalahandi

........... We should remember that the multinationals are here to earn, they are not here to make charity. If they were so concerned about this place, why would they move ahead and build the hospital and university in Puridistrict, nearly 500 kms from Kalahandi? Minerals will be taken from Kalahandi. People of Kalahandi will suffer from diseases, but the hospital and university will be built somewhere else. Can anyone justify this? Kalahandi also needs a central university. It also needs a hospital.
