The State of Telangana has created history opening nine new medical colleges in different districts in one go.
Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao virtually inaugurated the medical colleges set up in Karimnagar, Kamareddy, Khammam, Jayashankar Bhupalpalli, Kumrambheem Asifabad, Nirmal, Rajanna Sircilla, Vikarabad and Jangaon districts on Friday. This follows the inauguration of eight medical colleges in different districts last year and the State is moving ahead towards the target of setting up one medical college each in all the 33 districts.
The Chief Minister said the inauguration of new medical colleges would ensure 10,000 doctors completing their medical degrees every year and this would, in turn, lead to a revolution in the medical sector.
Health and Finance Minister T. Harish Rao said the inauguration of new medical institutions reflected the Chief Minister’s commitment to take healthcare to the doorstep of the common man. The State achieved a significant milestone in the health sector under the guidance of the Chief Minister.
With the inauguration of new medical colleges, Telangana’s share in the MBBS seats across the country has risen to 43% while 27 other States and Union Territories contribute to the remaining 53%. Telangana had become a role model for the country with the launch of several projects like Mission Bhagiratha, Mission Kakatiya, Kaleshwaram, 24X7 quality power supply to all sectors, medical college in each district and Ryth Bandhu., Mr. Harish Rao said.
“The inauguration of new medical colleges has proved the saying that Telangana implements and the country follows,” he added. He recalled the struggle for separate statehood and said the newly formed State had become a model for others under the able leadership of the Chief Minister.
Mr. Harish Rao congratulated the students who secured admissions in the new medical colleges.

“Writing, in general, is a very solitary process,” says Yauvanika Chopra, Associate Director at The New India Foundation (NIF), which, earlier this year, announced the 12th edition of its NIF Book Fellowships for research and scholarship about Indian history after Independence. While authors, in general, are built for it, it can still get very lonely, says Chopra, pointing out that the fellowship’s community support is as valuable as the monetary benefits it offers. “There is a solid community of NIF fellows, trustees, language experts, jury members, all of whom are incredibly competent,” she says. “They really help make authors feel supported from manuscript to publication, so you never feel like you’re struggling through isolation.”

Supreme Court ruling on socialism, secularism
Several principals of government and private schools in Delhi on Tuesday said the Directorate of Education (DoE) circular from a day earlier, directing schools to conduct classes in ‘hybrid’ mode, had caused confusion regarding day-to-day operations as they did not know how many students would return to school from Wednesday and how would teachers instruct in two modes — online and in person — at once. The DoE circular on Monday had also stated that the option to “exercise online mode of education, wherever available, shall vest with the students and their guardians”. Several schoolteachers also expressed confusion regarding the DoE order. A government schoolteacher said he was unsure of how to cope with the resumption of physical classes, given that the order directing government offices to ensure that 50% of the employees work from home is still in place. On Monday, the Commission for Air Quality Management in the National Capital Region and Adjoining Areas (CAQM) had, on the orders of the Supreme Court, directed schools in Delhi-NCR to shift classes to the hybrid mode, following which the DoE had issued the circular. The court had urged the Centre’s pollution watchdog to consider restarting physical classes due to many students missing out on the mid-day meals and lacking the necessary means to attend classes online. The CAQM had, on November 20, asked schools in Delhi-NCR to shift to the online mode of teaching.
