Dr. Saha also shared Maharaja Bir Bikram’s vision to establish technical, music, medical colleges, and other institutions in the state, a dream the current government is actively working to fulfill.
“The current state government is actively pursuing various initiatives to turn Maharaja’s vision into reality. Presently, numerous private educational institutions, including two medical colleges, a law college, a National Forensic University, a dental college, and a nursing college, have been established in the state.

The state government has already earmarked Rs 77 crore for the construction of a science building in the college”, he said.To revamp MBB College, the government has allocated Rs 60 lakh 50 thousand for the renovation of the old road, construction of gates, and refurbishment of the old science building.
