GOVERNMENT TO CREATE 75,000 NEW MEDICAL IN COLLEGE SEATS 5 YEARS

Recognizing the pressing need to provide more opportunities for medical professionals to receive quality education within the borders, PM Modi in his Independence Day address Thursday announced a significant initiative the creation of 75,000 new medical seats across the country over the next five years.

The pm said his vision extended beyond merely increasing the number of medical seats, as he drew inspiration from the ancient Nalanda as a global education hub.

Modi said: “I am dismayed and in disbelief to know that many if our children still go abroad for medical education, costing families millions. In the past decades, we have increased medical seats to nearly 1 lakh, and we plan to add 75,000 new seats in next years.”

Reiterating his vision for India to? reclaim its historical position as a global education hub, Modi called for revival of “Nalanda spirit”. The new campus, close to the site of ancient ruins of the Buddhist center of learning in Bihar, was in augured by pm in June.
