JAIPUR: Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot on Saturday said the Ukraine crisis has presented an opportunity to consider increasing the number of medical colleges and seats in the country. The future of thousands of students forced to return to India due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine is now uncertain. In such a situation, a positive decision needs to be taken keeping in mind the future of these students, he said.
Gehlot suggested that the Centre should change the rules of the Medical Council of India so that both government and private sectors can open more medical colleges.
