Maharashtra Governor C H Vidyasagar Rao today said he would ask the state government to accord approval for setting up a medical college in Bhiwandi in the district.
"Telugu people have a major share in making of Bhiwandi - a power-loom town. And due to their hard-work and dedication they have become one with Maharashtra," Rao said after inaugurating a guest house constructed by the Akhil Padmashali Samaj at Bhiwandi.
Referring to the demand by the members of the community for a medical college for Bhiwandi, the Governor said he would direct the state government to accord sanction for it.
"Telugu people had come down to Bhiwandi for running the power-looms and the fact that they have created their own identity is a matter of pride," he added.
Among others, Bhiwandi MP Kapil Patil was present on the occasion.
