Haryana CM Manohar Lal Khattar has announced one medical college in each district of the state to reduce the shortage of doctors.
In line with the Central government's vision, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar has announced that each district of the state will soon get one medical college.
“An announcement has been made to open medical colleges in every district of the state. The land has also been identified in the Sirsa district. When our government was formed in 2014, there were 750 MBBS seats. With the opening of new medical colleges, now these seats have become 1,600. When more medical colleges open in each district, then these seats will go up to 2,900. With this, there will be no shortage of doctors in the state. Simultaneously, the government has opened a girls’ college within a radius of 20 km. Under the ‘Chhatra Parivahan Suraksha Yojana’, the government is also ensuring their safety,” said Khattar, as reported by Indian Express.

The government is continuously opening Model Sanskriti Schools.”
