I wish Odisha should have one medical equipment park like the one recently started in Chennai(only one in India). Odisha has raw materials and also the market of whole eastern part of the country. There are many universities and research labs are there in and around Odisha. As research activity in biomedical science and nanotechnology is going to increase, Odisha should try for an SEZ for medical equipment and scientific instruments in Bhubaneswar.
