Maharashtra: NMC to make provision of Rs 100 crore for med college

Nashik: The Nashik Municipal Corporation (NMC) is planning to make a provision of Rs 100 crore in the civic budget for the financial year 2021-22 for its proposed Post-Graduate medical college at the new Bytco hospital.

Municipal commissioner Kailas Jadhav said the amount will be spent on buying infrastructure, hiring faculties, hostel and other infrastructure to ensure proper functioning of the medical college.

“We are making adequate provisions and will spend the amount as per requirement,” he added.

The NMC will get around 60 trainee doctors in different specializations for its proposed post-graduate medical education college at the new Bytco hospital that will be affiliated to Mumbai-based autonomous educational institute College of Physicians and Surgeons (CPS).

The general body of the NMC recently gave its approval to the proposal of the civic administration to pay an inspection fee, amounting to Rs 12 lakh to the CPS. “We are already in the process to apply to the CPS, Mumbai for inspection and will shortly pay the fee. Thereafter, the CPS experts will inspect Bytco hospital for inspection,” Bapusaheb Nagargoje, medical superintending officer, said.
