Vinod Kumar speaking to the media thanked Chief Minister KCR for sanctioning four government medical colleges for and issuing orders to start classes in Karimnagar Medical college in this academic year.

The government notified and recruited teaching faculty needed for the medical college. Official permission was given on Wednesday with the admissions of 100 students,Vinod Kumar said.

The students will be provided hostel accommodation and medical education in the first academic year itself. Although there are two private medical colleges in the city of Karimnagar, an additional government medical college is coming to Karimnagar. It is noteworthy that government medical colleges have been sanctioned in four new districts of Karimnagar, Sircilla, Jagitial and Peddapalli.

He questioned what the Modi government has done for the people of Telangana who won four BJP MPs. It is very bad that even a single rupee has not been given to Telangana State medical colleges.

Even if 33 districts are formed in Telangana, still not a single Navodaya Vidyalaya has been sanctioned. Due to this, the poor middle class children in the rural areas of Telangana are suffering. Steps will be taken for the sanction of IIIT for Karimnagar district.
