While the Government Kanyakumari Medical College has been allotted Rs. 91.60 crore, the government medical colleges at Tiruneveli and Madurai have been allotted Rs. 120 crore each. I hope that this is what you are looking for.

Did you know that the Coimbatore Medical College officials said that they were confident of getting the additional seats by for the academic year 2016-17. This is really great news for the city, and all the prospective medical students.

From what i have heard, the plans already have been approved, and the construction would be taken up by the Public Works Department (Medical Wing) soon. I am really glad that the government is taking this initiative to improve the education facilities in the city.

Yeah, following this, a team of assessors from the MCI inspected the colleges and pointed out shortcomings in teaching faculty and infrastructure such as buildings, equipment and staff. The funds now sanctioned would be used to address the issues raised by MCI.

I wanted to tell you that the Health Secretary J. Radhakrishnan has directed the Directorate of Medical Education to submit proposals for addressing the shortcomings pointed out by the Council. An Empowered Committee of Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare had met in New Delhi recently and approved the State Government proposal for capacity addition in the four colleges.

The State and Central Governments have sanctioned Rs. 451.60 crore to four Government medical colleges in Tamil Nadu to address deficiencies pointed out by the Medical Council of India (MCI). A team from council had visited the colleges during January to assess their proposals for addition of MBBS seats.
