Lucknow: In a significant boost to healthcare education in Uttar Pradesh, the state is set to establish three new medical colleges in the districts of Baghpat, Hathras, and Kasganj.
Officials from the medical education department revealed that the proposal for these colleges will soon be presented to the state cabinet for approval.
These institutions will be developed under the Central government’s Viability Gap Funding (VGF) scheme and will operate through a public-private partnership (PPP) model.
This initiative is expected to add at least 300 MBBS seats to the existing 11,200 seats in the state’s medical education system, reports Hindustan Times.
According to Kinjal Singh, Director General of Medical Education in Uttar Pradesh, in addition to these new colleges, construction of the autonomous state medical college in Amethi is making steady progress, with 34 percent of the work already completed. Once the National Medical Commission (NMC) portal opens in New Delhi, an application will be submitted to approve 100 seats for the 2025-26 academic session.
