Hans India reports that the minister also stated that "The design of the building is good and approved by the government, but some changes have been suggested. Though the deadline for the completion of the entire constriction is 30 months, first year MBBS students can attend the college by next June in a temporary building to be identified. The college would be shifted to the new building once it is ready,"
The minister has posted on his Twitter account snippets of the discussion and stated that "Officials were informed about the design and other aspects of the medical college campus which was planned to be built in the city today. The implementation of the schemes of the Health and Family Welfare Department in the district was then reviewed."

The government has already appointed 69 teachers and out of the 91 primary health centres four doctors will be appointed. He also confirmed that in Chikmagalur 1900 covid tests are being conducted every day and the number of positive cases has come under control.

With the addition of the new medical college, there will be a significant addition in the number of doctors in the state while it will also provide necessary improvement in the medical education sector. He also informed that the process of the appointment for 2000 doctors has already begun and this will end up by the month's end.
