The land is situated near the Nizamabad-Jagdalpur national highway 63 and the creation of the medical college will spur growth of Hajipur and Luxettipet mandals. Residents of various villages in Hajipur mandals expressed happiness over the allocation of the land for the medical college at Gudipet village. Hajipur Mandal Parishad approved a resolution agreeing the allocation of the land a few days ago.

The government medical college, one of the eight facilities in different parts of Telangana, got a nod from the National Medical Commission (NMC) to fill up 100 seats as against 150 seats into the first year of MBBS course due to delay in getting permission by the first phase of the counseling, in November.
