Five new medical colleges are in the process of being opened in the state. This will raise the number of seats in medical colleges to 450 and help remove the shortage of doctors.

He said the number of seats in the two medical colleges had been increased to 200 from 115 in the past two years and those in the postgraduate courses had been increased from 39 to 111.
The Health Minister said the state government was committed to ensure quality education in all the professional and technical institutes in the state so that students secured 100 per cent placement.
He said a high-level monitoring committee had been constituted to monitor the functioning of professional and technical education and this committee would inspect all the institutions to ensure quality at every stage.
He said metalled road facility would be provided in the educational corridor extending from Oachghat to Kumarhatti and Rs 7 crore would be spent on this work.
Principal of the institute Prof P Prabhakar said competitions on innovative technology and culture would be organised during the festival.
