A government medical college in every district.
“हम प्रदेश के हर जिले में आधुनिक विशेषज्ञ चिकित्सा सुविधाओं से युक्त सरकारी मेडिकल कॉलेजों की स्थापना के लक्ष्य को पूरा करेंगे।”English: “We will complete the goal of establishing government medical colleges with modern specialist facilities in every district of the state.”
The verdict
Districts with a medical college rose from 45 (May 2022) to 60 of 75 (Feb 2026). Colleges for the remaining 16 districts are planned on a PPP basis, so some will be private-partnered rather than government-run.
