The Union government has approved the addition of over 10,000 new medical education seats—half for MBBS (approx 5,023 seats) and half for postgraduate courses (5,000 seats) in government institutions. It’s a large investment, costing around ₹15,000 crore over four years. This move is part of a broader effort to address shortages of doctors and specialists, especially in underserved areas. Alongside this, a scheme under the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (DSIR) for capacity building and human resource development has also been given a big funding boost (₹2,277 crore). The intention is not just more seats, but also better infrastructure & support for medical/scientific education in the country. #MedicalEducation #MBBS #Postgraduate #HealthSector #GovernmentInitiative #IndiaHealth #CapacityBuilding #MoreDoctors #EducationInvestment #HealthcareAccess
