Chandigarh, October 9

The number of medical colleges in Haryana has doubled over the past eight years, while the number of MBBS seats has increased from 700 in 2014 to 1,735 now.

According to an official spokesperson, the state government’s aim is to increase the number of MBBS seats to 3,035 by 2025.

Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyaya University of Health Sciences is being established at Kutel in Karnal, which will be made functional soon.

Nine medical colleges are also being set up. These include Pandit Neki Ram Sharma Government Medical College, Bhiwani; Government Medical College, Jind; Atal Bihari Vajpayee Government Medical College, Chhayansa (Faridabad); Government Medical College and Hospital, Koriyawas (Narnaul); and government medical colleges at Kaithal, Sirsa, Yamunanagar and Gurugram.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
