## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HEALTH AND FAMILY

## WELFARE (DR. BHARATI PRAVIN PAWAR)

(a) to (e): The Ministry of Health & Family Welfare administers a Centrally Sponsored Scheme (CSS)  for  'Establishment  of  new  Medical  Colleges  attached  with  existing  district/referral hospitals'  with  preference  to  underserved  areas  and  aspirational  districts,  where  there  is  no existing Government or private medical college. Under the Scheme (launched in 2014), 157 new medical colleges have been approved in three phases and 71 are already functional. The details are at Annexure.

Under Phase-III of the above Scheme, all States/UTs were requested to submit proposals to the Ministry. However, no proposal has been received from Telangana State for establishment of  new  medical  college  under  this  Scheme.  Further,  all  75  medical  colleges  approved  under Phase-III of this Scheme have already been allocated.
