Panel flags medical seat disparity and high education costs

Panel flags medical seat disparity and high education costs

A group in the Indian government has noticed that there are not enough medical school seats in some parts of the country, and the ones that are available are very expensive.

They said that some places like Karnataka and Tamil Nadu have a lot of seats, but others like Bihar have very few.

The group wants the government to open more medical schools, especially in areas that need them the most.

They also think that the fees for medical education are too high and suggested that the government should help make it more affordable.

They also talked about how some students go abroad to study medicine because there are not enough seats in India, and it's hard for them to come back and work as doctors here.

The group wants to make things better by having more medical schools and making sure that the ones that exist are good quality.
