Highlighting the government’s commitment, Chief Minister Saha emphasized that the expansion of advanced health services and the development of infrastructure are top priorities. He acknowledged the significant contributions of those who played a role in establishing the college and stressed the vital role of students in its continued success.
“Our students are as talented as those in any other part of the country,” Chief Minister Saha remarked. “The infrastructure of this college is on par with the best medical colleges in India. It is the responsibility of the students to honor this institution through their dedication to studies and service.”
In recognition of the college’s achievements, the Chief Minister noted that over 1,100 students have graduated with MBBS degrees, and approximately 300 postgraduate students have completed their education from the institution. These alumni are now making significant contributions across the state and the nation.
