Hyderabad: The President of Telangana unit of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Bandi Sanjay has recently written to Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya to approve the establishment of a medical college in Jogulamba Gadwal district in the state.

In a letter to Mandaviya, he said that the land acquisition process for setting up the medical college has already been completed and further urged the Minister to establish a 300-bed hospital along with the medical college.

He said that Jogulamba Gadwal was the most backward district and added that the state government had decided to set up six medical colleges in the state, but had left out Jogulamba Gadwal, and approved medical colleges to other districts though 150 acres had been acquired in the district for the medical college, reports UNI.

The aforementioned region of Telangana could be considered among one of the most backward districts. The construction of the medical college in the district would reportedly be helpful in ensuring proper healthcare for the people residing there.

Medical Dialogues team had earlier reported that the State government had sanctioned the establishment of 7 new medical colleges in the State. These new medical colleges are going to be set up in Sangareddy, Mahabubabad, Mancherial, Wanaparthy, Bhandradri Kothagudem, Jagtial and Nagarkurnool. Apart from giving a nod to the establishment of medical colleges, following the proposal of the HM & FW Department, the State government had sanctioned 7007 posts in various categories for the newly proposed medical colleges in the State.

On Thursday, Sanjay along with the Telangana unit of the BJP, led by national OBC Morcha president K. Laxman, and others expressed gratitude towards Prime Minister Narendra Modi for introducing a quota for the BCs and economically weaker sections in dental and medical undergraduate aspirants from this year onwards.
Laxman informed that in the OBC Morcha national executive meeting, the members discussed a 27% quota for the BCs and 10% for the poor, reports The Hindu. Later, they raised the proposal before the Prime Minister by Union Minister Bhupendra Yadav and the proposal was immediately considered by the authorities and action was also taken accordingly.
The move will ensure almost 4,000 seats in MBBS, MD, BDS and MDS for students from the BCs and 1,500 seats for the students who belong to the poorer sections of sociaty, he added. Sanjay Kumar said the decision would pave the way for providing higher education to the socially and economically backward sections and thus would help them to secure better employment opportunities ahead.
