The Gujarat government has assured to support the plan of the renowned 'Kaka-Ba and Kala-Budh Public Charitable Trust' to set up a medical college in Bharuch district, a senior official said today.
A delegation of the Kaka-Ba and Kala-Budh Public Charitable Trust recently met Additional Chief Secretary of the state health department, Anil Mukim, and sought the government's nod for the proposed college, which is planned at the Kaka-Ba hospital campus, on Hansot-Ankleshwar road near Utraj village, about 140 km from here.
"The government will support and provide necessary help to the Trust in establishing a new medical college at its campus," Mukim told PTI over phone.
"The government hopes to set up at least 10 new medical colleges in the next three-four years, thereby adding 1,500 MBBS seats to the state's current pool of about 3,000 seats," he said.
The state currently has six government medical colleges with 1,080 MBBS seats and 12 self-financed medical colleges with around 1,700 seats. Three hundred seats are being added in the medical colleges in the state every year, he added.
