262 New Medical Colleges Were Built After the Modi Government Took Office: Pradhan

After the Narendra Modi administration took office in 2014, 262 new medical colleges, according to Union Minister of Education Dharmendra Pradhan, were created.

Speaking at a conference in this city, he said that although the Congress claims to have established 700 Navodaya Vidyalayas nationwide, the Modi administration has, in only nine years, “sanctioned 692 Eklavya schools” in all of the nation’s tribal and underdeveloped areas.

Pradhan was reported as stating in a statement released by the Delhi BJP that “there were a total of 380 medical colleges across the country from independence until 2014, but after the Modi government came to power, 262 new medical colleges were built.”

The Public Policy Research Center (PPRC), a nonprofit organization, conducted research on the “achievements” of the Narendra Modi administration in the previous nine years. Based on that research, a research paper on the “achievements of various departments of the central government” was prepared and released in collaboration with local BJP units in various cities across the nation.

A study paper on the nine years of the Modi government’s performance in the health and education sectors was launched in this series by Union minister Pradhan at the seminar hosted by the Delhi BJP.

According to Pradhan, the Modi administration has also increased the number of seats available in medical schools.

PPE kits, he said, were not produced in India when COVID-19 gripped the whole planet, but two months following the lockdown, “we not only started producing PPE kits, but we also started exporting them to other nations.”

When the Atal Bihari Vajpayee-led NDA government took office, the Union minister said that “only one AIIMS was built” in the nation while the Gandhi family was in power. Instead, six AIIMS were constructed. However, he said that the 10-year Manmohan Singh administration “did not build any new AIIMS”.

“He took a pledge to provide good health services to every citizen of the country” after Modi was elected prime minister in 2014, and as a consequence, 15 new AIIMS have been opened to the public in the last nine years.

India, according to the Union Minister of Education, is a knowledge-based nation made up of several civilizations. After 34 years, the Modi administration finally came up with a national education strategy, the development of which began in 2014 and culminated in 2020. In addition to this, he said, the Modi administration would spend Rs 45 crore on the construction of the hostel-equipped Eklavya Model School.

The message that “India is a rising power and this has been possible only under the leadership of PM Modi” is spreading across the whole globe, according to Delhi BJP President Virendra Sachdeva.
