Punjab CM Lays Foundation for ₹300 Crore Medical College in Nawanshahr

The Shaheed Bhagat Singh Government Medical College will offer 50 MBBS seats, improve healthcare access, and be completed within 36 months.

The Shaheed Bhagat Singh Government Medical College in Nawanshahr will cost ₹300 crore and provide 50 MBBS seats.
Construction is expected to be completed in 36 months, with the college attached to the civil hospital for round-the-clock specialist care.
The project aims to address healthcare access gaps in the remote Doaba region, reducing patient reliance on referral hospitals in Ludhiana, Jalandhar, and Chandigarh.
The college will train doctors in a rural setting, aiming to reduce the need for students to study abroad for medical education.
Two previously announced medical colleges in the Doaba region, in Hoshiarpur and Kapurthala, remain stalled due to administrative and financial hurdles.
