K'taka Medical Education Minister directs officials to seal nursing colleges with no amenities
Bengaluru (PTI): In a decisive move, Karnataka Medical Education Minister Sharan Prakash Patil has instructed his department to inspect and potentially seal nursing colleges that fail to provide basic infrastructure for students. Patil issued the directive during a meeting at Vikasa Soudha, citing numerous complaints regarding infrastructure deficiencies.
Despite leniency, many private college managements have not rectified the issues. Patil noted, 'Most colleges lack adequate teaching staff, library, and laboratory facilities, and they charge exorbitant fees.' He added that stringent actions would be taken against non-compliant institutions.
The minister also rejected a 20% fee hike proposed by college managements, prioritizing students' interests. Additionally, he urged colleges to increase government quota seats from 20% to 40% to support more underprivileged students. Patil emphasized the need for inspections before admissions to ensure compliance with government norms.
