Telangana to get 100 more medical seats
Telangana State students would get 100 more medical seats this year as the Medical Council of India has given its approval for the Sanathnagar ESIC Medical College from 2016-17 academic year.
Union Labour Minister Bandaru Dattatreya says 35 per cent of the seats will be reserved for children of workers in ESIC
Hyderabad: Telangana State students would get 100 more medical seats this year as the Medical Council of India has given its approval for the Sanathnagar ESIC Medical College from 2016-17 academic year.
This was announced by Union Labour and Employment Minister Bandaru Dattatreya here on Thursday. Dattatreya said that 35 per cent of the seats would be reserved for children of workers, who are insured persons (IPs) in ESIC. The medical college would be affiliated to Dr NTR University of Health Sciences, Vijayawada.
The 500-bed hospital has 100 faculty members with 21 departments. The inspection was carried out in the month of April this year. Dattatreya thanked the Union Health Minister for giving his approval. He also said a modern Employment Exchange would be opened in the city in the third week of July. He said the job seekers and employers, who have registered on the National Career Service (NCS) portal of the Labour ministry, would be brought on to a single platform on the occasion.
Telangana Public Service Commission (TSPSC) would be asked to come on board of the NCS portal and a system to provide jobs to lakhs of job seekers, Dattatreya said. As many as 3.60 crore job seekers, 27,195 skill providers and 8.29 lakh employers, besides 50 placement organisations, have joined the portal, he added. Through the portal, 45,912 were provided jobs against 81,000 vacancies, he said.
The Minister also said that a sub regional PF office would be opened at Kukatpally. The government had acquired five acres at Kukatpally and the foundation stone would be laid in a week. He said that a meeting of the working group of BRICS countries on employment generation and other issues would be held in Hyderabad on July 27 and 28.
Calling upon Information Technology Minister KT Rama Rao to check facts before speaking, Dattatreya alleged that the State government was yet to prepare a detailed project report on the ITIR (Information Technology Investment Region). “It is not good to criticise the Centre for everything. I would have taken up the matter with the Union Minister concerned had KTR given him the DPR,” he said.
Though the State government allocated Rs 90 crore for ITIR, not even a single rupee was spent by it, Dattatreya alleged. He said that the Centre had allocated Rs 80 crore for MMTS from Falaknuma to Shamshabad. Similarly, funds were sanctioned for radial roads between Moosapet and BHEL, he said.
