BJP MLA Sambhaji Patil Nilangekar has said institutions like the IIT and AIIMS should be set up in Maharashtra's Latur district as it has made a mark in various fields and produced several doctors and engineers.

He was speaking on Saturday at the 'Jan Jagar Sanvad' event organised here by a social body to find sources of sustainable development for Latur through a discussion on subjects like agriculture, education and skill development, women and child welfare, health, water management, environment, social welfare and security, and art and literature.
