Union Home Minister Amit Shah will lay the foundation stone of the new Senapati Medical College in Manipur in October, marking a step forward in the state's healthcare education infrastructure.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah is scheduled to lay the foundation stone of the Senapati Medical College in Manipur during October, officials said. The ceremony will be held in Senapati district, where the state government plans to set up a full‑time medical college to serve the local population and train future doctors.
The project is part of the central government's push to expand medical education in the North‑East region. While detailed specifications have not been released, the college is expected to offer undergraduate medical courses and associated hospital facilities once construction is complete.
State officials indicated that the new institution will help address the chronic shortage of medical professionals in Manipur and improve access to quality healthcare in remote areas. The foundation‑laying event is also seen as a signal of continued federal support for infrastructure development in the region.
Construction is slated to begin shortly after the ceremony, with an anticipated completion timeline of several years, aligning with the broader goal of increasing the number of medical seats across the country.
