ESIC to Establish 10 New Medical Colleges Across India to Boost Healthcare Education

The new medical colleges will be established in several states of India, including Maharashtra, Delhi. Assam, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Punjab, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand, among others. 

Employees' State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) has agreed to establish 10 new ESIC medical colleges across the country. Union Minister of Labour and Employment, Mansukh Mandaviya, has officially announced the ratification of the establishment of medical colleges in India. The minister stated that the decision moves along with the government's decision to strengthen ESIC infrastructure and improve medical education across the country, empowering India's workforce. 

The new ESIC medical colleges for the financial year 2024-25 will be situated in several states of India including Andheri (Maharashtra), Basaidarapur (Delhi), Ludhiana (Punjab), Naroda-Bapunagar (Gujarat), Noida, Guwahati-Beltola (Assam), Indore (Madhya Pradesh), Jaipur (Rajasthan), Varanasi (Uttar Pradesh), and Ranchi (Jharkhand), as reported by Medical Dialogues.

The project will close healthcare gaps, particularly in semi-urban and rural locales where ESIC facilities are limited.
