Defunct Faridabad Medical College taken over by Haryana Govt to reopen soon
Haryana: The State government has started taking initiatives to reopen the 500 bedded Faridabad Medical College and Hospital in Chhainsa village. The government has also launched a 30 Crores project in connection with the reconstruction of the medical college.
The College is expected to accept MBBS students from the next academic session.
Situated over 27 acres of land, the institution started a few years ago with 100 MBBS students in 2011. Previously the college was known as Gold Fields Institute of Medical Science and Research and it was a private medical college and but closed after 2015 due to financial problems.
The Medical Dialogue team reported Gold Fields Shiksha Sansthan, a body that owned this institution, failed to clear the debt taken from Union Bank, Punjab National Bank, Bank of Baroda, Bank of Maharashtra, Central Bank, and the Allahabad Bank. The amount of debt was estimated to be around Rs 235 crore. With the aim of recovery, the medical college had earlier been put by the banks for auction in 2018 but did not find suitable bidders probably due to high reservation prices. After that, it was taken over by the government in March through an auction where it was the only bidder.
