Dream of Having Medical College in Each District in Telangana to Become a Reality Soon: KCR

Warangal, Oct. 1 (Maxim News): Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao said the dream of having a medical college in each of 33 districts in Telangana is going to become a reality soon.

Speaking after inaugurating the Prathima Relief Institute of Medical Sciences, Medical College, and Hospital at Mulugu Crossroads here on Saturday, the Chief Minister said there were only 2,800 MBBS seats and 1150 PG seats till 2014 however, after the formation of Telangana State, the number of MBBS seats have been increased to 6,500 while PG seats are gone up to 2500.

He said despite continuing discrimination by the Centre, the State government had set up 12 new medical colleges apart from sanctioning medical colleges to each of the 33 districts and added that the newly sanctioned medical colleges would start functioning soon.

” I am sure that the number of medical seats in Telangana will reach 10,000 soon and students from Telangana need not go abroad anymore for medical courses in the future,” KCR said.
