Chandigarh, April 27: Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh has given the approval to set up a new government medical college with an intake capacity of 100 seats at SAS Nagar (Mohali) to address the critical shortage of medical specialists while giving a boost to medical education in the state.
It will be over four decades that the state will get a new government medical college. The last such college was Guru Gobind Singh Medical College, Faridkot which was opened in early 1970s.
In a press release, Amarinder said this would be the first of the five new medical colleges that the Congress had promised in its poll manifesto, apart from upgrading infrastructure, facilities and manpower in the existing medical colleges.
