Puttur: The long-cherished dream of a government medical college in Puttur has moved a decisive step closer to reality, with the Karnataka State Finance Department granting its official approval for the construction of a new 300-bed hospital.
Puttur MLA Ashok Kumar Rai announced the crucial development to reporters on Monday, confirming that the official communication from the finance department was issued on November 27. This 300-bed facility is intended to be the cornerstone for the establishment of the government medical college, a project announced in the state budget.
Fast-Track Implementation
The MLA outlined an aggressive timeline for the project:
• A Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the hospital is expected to be ready within 45 days.
• The tender process for the construction will be completed within two months.
Following the completion of the tender process, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah is scheduled to lay the foundation stone for the project.
"Setting up a medical college in Puttur is a historical decision by the Congress government in Karnataka," Rai stated. The project has an estimated budget allocation of Rs 1,000 crore for the medical college.
Focus on Medical Education Department
The MLA highlighted a key strategic move: requesting the government to implement the hospital construction through the Medical Education Department instead of the Health and Family Welfare Department. This is intended to streamline the entire process of establishing the full medical college, ensuring the facilities—including labs, operation theatres, and other necessary infrastructure—adhere to the strict guidelines set by the Medical Council of India (MCI). The proposed site for the project is in Bannur.
Rai also took the opportunity to address political criticism, stating that the government has fulfilled its promise despite "apprehensions" and "mocking and criticising" from opposition parties who had failed to take similar initiatives when they were in power. "Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has kept his word," he added.

Well one has to understand if the rule of the university states that less than particular number of days absent will be denied to attend the exam then it is the right of college to not allow the student to write the exam. if the principal has followed the Rule of the university he must follow the law.
