Mysore/Mysuru: Medical Education Minister Dr. Sharanprakash R. Patil has said “The new guidelines of National Medical Commission (NMC) has turned into a hurdle to realise the plans of establishing one Medical College in each district.”
“Our Government’s policy is to establish one Medical College in each district and 23 such colleges have been already established. However, it may take sometime to replicate the plan in remaining districts. Till recently there were no such regulations, as in the recent NMC circular it has been stipulated to establish Medical College with 100 medical seats for every 10 lakh population. However, the capping of seats is unacceptable and we won’t give any consent,” said Dr. Patil who hinted at replying on these lines to NMC circular.
