NAGPUR: With the sword of the Medical Council of India (MCI) hanging over the head of 12 medical colleges in the state for retaining the existing seats, the Maharashtra ministry of finance has, in principle, agreed to fund all the developmental projects in 2-3 phases in the coming years in these colleges.
This includes Rs338 crore for the Indira Gandhi Government Medical Colleges (IGGMC) in the city with 150 seats. The decision in this regard was taken during a meeting on Monday at Mumbai. Chief of directorate of medical education and research (DMER) Dr Pravin Shingare told TOI that the directorate presented the status of all the 12 colleges in the meeting.
The IGGMC funding will be sanctioned and released in 2-3 instalments in as many years. "These colleges have already been issued warnings from the MCI and hence there is urgent need to fill the vacant posts and install all major equipment on priority followed by other constructional requirements," said Dr Shingare.
The college acting dean Anuradha V Shrikhande said that the colleges needed money under nine different heads for the administrative building, the 500 bedded hospital, Resident Medical Officer (RMO) Hostel (400 bedded), mortuary, laundry, elevated storage reservoir and sewage etc, equipment and manpower. "Filling posts and purchasing equipment will be the first priority and the money for this would come first," she said.
The Rs97 crore administrative building would house the dean's office, administrative offices of all the 14 departments and laboratories of para-clinical subjects- microbiology, pathology, biochemistry, four seminar rooms of 180 capacity, four lecture halls of 350 capacity and two lecture halls of gallery type (auditorium type), upgraded library and the Central Research Laboratory.
