Assam sets 4,000 MBBS seat target by 2031, says CM Sarma
Digital Desk | Guwahati/Ranchi, Sep 23 (IANS) Assam is targeting a major expansion of medical education, with Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma announcing that the state plans to increase the number of MBBS seats to 4,000 by 2031. Chief Minister Sarma made the announcement while addressing the inauguration of the 750-bed Baba Baidyanath Medical Trust Hospital in Jharkhand's Deoghar on Wednesday. Highlighting the expansion of medical education in Assam, the Chief Minister said the state now has 16 medical colleges and produces around 2,200 doctors annually. He added that the state government has a vision of establishing 32 more medical colleges in Assam, in addition to the AIIMS and ESIC Medical College already functioning in the state. Of these, 16 have already been established, CM Sarma said, while outlining the state government's long-term plan to expand medical education and increase the availability of trained doctors. He said that Assam's medical education infrastructure had remained limited for decades. The state's first medical college was established in the 1950s, followed by the second in the 1960s and the third in the 1970s. Despite Assam's population of around 3.5 crore, the state had only three medical colleges and produced around 300 doctors annually, resulting in a shortage of doctors in relation to healthcare requirements, CM Sarma added. The Chief Minister said the expansion in recent years has significantly increased the number of doctors being trained in the state. Assam now produces around 2,200 doctors every year, compared with around 350 earlier. He said that increasing the number of MBBS seats would be accompanied by measures to provide employment opportunities to the growing pool of doctors. Chief Minister Sarma pointed to the latest State Budget, which has announced the deployment of two doctors at each of Assam's 5,000 sub-health centres. He said the expansion of medical colleges and MBBS seats would help create a stronger medical education ecosystem while improving the availability of healthcare professionals across the state.

Nishikant Dubey threatens defamation suit against ex-Finance Secretary Subhash Garg
Digital Desk | Ranchi, Sep 21 (IANS) BJP MP from Jharkhand's Godda, Nishikant Dubey, has said he will file a criminal defamation case against former Finance Secretary Subhash Chandra Garg for of making false statements about him during a recent podcast. The controversy escalated after Garg, in the podcast, referred to an alleged meeting with Dubey during his tenure in the Finance Ministry and claimed that the MP had approached him regarding certain matters. Rejecting the allegations, Dubey said he had never visited the office of any Central government secretary after becoming an MP in 2009 and had never written any recommendation letter seeking the transfer or posting of an official. Speaking on Monday, Dubey said Garg had claimed in the podcast that the two had met in his office and that the MP had sought intervention in a transfer-related matter. The truth is that since being elected to Parliament in 2009, I have never gone to any secretary for such work. If Garg has any evidence of my visiting his office or making any recommendation, he should place it in the public domain, Dubey said. The latest exchange comes amid an ongoing war of words between the two over India's first-quarter GDP growth rate of 7.8 per cent. Garg had recently questioned the GDP figures and the changes made in the methodology used for past GDP calculations. Dubey, in response, had sharply criticised the former bureaucrat. In the podcast, Garg reportedly said that during his tenure as Finance Secretary, Dubey had approached him with certain files or matters, which he perceived as lobbying or advocacy on behalf of corporate interests. Dubey dismissed the claim, reiterating that protocol places an MP above a Central government secretary and asserting that he had never visited any ministry to meet a Secretary. He also maintained that he had never recommended the transfer or posting of any official. Garg served as Secretary, Department of Economic Affairs, from July 2017 to July 2019 and briefly held the position of Finance Secretary between March and June 2019. He was later transferred to the Ministry of Power before he opted for voluntary retirement. Dubey said his differences with Garg were not new. He recalled that in 2018 he had written to the Prime Minister raising questions about Garg's economic policies and functioning while he was serving as Secretary, Economic Affairs.
