The government has voiced concern over the tardy progress in setting up of medical colleges in the country with only five of the proposed 58 colleges coming up in the last three years.
In a recent meeting, the Union Health Ministry has directed 19 states and a Union territory, where these medical colleges will come up, to expedite the work.
The Centre had in 2014 announced the plans to set up 58 government medical colleges in various states, including Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Odisha and Bihar, by December 2018.
Northeastern states of Manipur, Meghalaya, Sikkim and Tripura have 2, 1, 1 and 2 government medical colleges, respectively.
