The government also plans to construct new medical colleges across the state," chief minister Nitish Kumar told mediapersons. The Bihar government’s announcement to increase seats in medical colleges and also to set up new institutions has come when there is a nationwide hue and cry over the Centre’s decision to provide reservation to other backward caste students in higher education. Health minister Chandra Mohan Rai said his government was trying to upgrade the physical and educational standard of medical colleges in Bihar to stop exodus of students.
"We would try that no seats in the medical colleges were left vacant and were filled on a regular basis," he said.
The state government would soon approach the Medical Council of India for a clearance.
