The central government has approved the establishment of an ESIC medical college in Haridwar, expanding medical education in Uttarakhand.
The Ministry of Labour and Employment has formally approved the creation of a new Employees' State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) medical college in Haridwar, Uttarakhand. The decision marks a significant addition to the state's higher‑education infrastructure, focusing on medical training and health services.
The approved institution will cater to the educational needs of ESIC beneficiaries and aim to increase the number of qualified medical professionals in the region. By integrating a teaching hospital with the college, the project is expected to enhance both academic learning and patient care.
Construction and further regulatory clearances are now underway, with the college slated to commence academic sessions once the campus is ready. Officials indicated that the new facility will align with ESIC's broader goal of expanding its network of medical colleges across India.
