In the recent past there has been a large influx of medical colleges all over the country, but according to experts these colleges were not capable of providing premium medical education to the students enrolled. On the flip-side, there were complains of how few medical colleges actually existed, thereby affecting the number of doctors the country had. In an attempt to better the situation, Union Health Minister, Dr Harsh Vardhan has liberalised the criteria for approving medical colleges both in government and private sectors. Addressing the first meeting of the newly constituted parliamentary consultative committee on health, he said: ‘I realise the need for more medical colleges. The criteria for approving medical colleges both in the government and private sectors would be liberalised.’
