Karnataka Plans to Establish New GMCs In 11 Districts Under PPP Model
Karnataka- The Karnataka government is planning to set up 11 new medical colleges under the Public Private Partnership (PPP) model in 11 districts of the state which currently do not have government medical colleges.
At present, the state has 22 government medical colleges in 22 districts while 11 other districts have no government medical colleges. To fill this gap, the government has now proposed to open medical colleges in PPP mode in Tumakuru, Davanagere, Chitradurga, Bagalkot, Kolar, Dakshina Kannada, Udupi, Bengaluru Rural, Vijayapura, Vijayanagara and Ramanagara districts of Karnataka.
Minister for Medical Education Sharan Prakash Patil said, “To improve medical infrastructure, health facilities for the rural people and giving more opportunity in medical education to rural residents, poor and meritorious students, the State government is committed to starting a government medical college in every district. There are no government medical colleges in 11 districts of the state. But the Finance Department has not permitted to start of new medical colleges in these. So, we are planning to start medical colleges under the PPP model in these districts.”, quoted The Hindu
