Faridkot, July 7: The Department of Medical Education and Research (DMER), Punjab, has granted provisional essentiality certificate to the Gian Sagar medical and dental colleges, which were closed in May last year, for filling 100 MBBS and 100 BDS seats.
Baba Farid University of Health Sciences (BFUHS) also granted provisional consent of affiliation to the colleges on Friday.
The permission has been granted to Gian Sagar Educational and Charitable Trust, managing the colleges. Earlier, the certificate was revoked by the state government on May 10, 2017, on account of the inability and failure of the management to run the colleges and the students were shifted to other medical colleges.
New trustees have taken over the colleges and had submitted an application for the revival of the colleges.
While the DMER has issued the certificate subject to detailed verification and due diligence regarding the financial viability of the trust to run the medical and dental colleges, the BFUHS has granted provisional affiliation, subject to grant of permission by the Union government and Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.
Dr Raj Bahadur, Vice-Chancellor, BFUHS, has confirmed the issuance of provisional affiliation certification to Gian Sagar colleges.
