Title : Need to accord approval to the proposal for upgradation of Medical College at Calicut as a centre of excellence in Kozhikode Parliamentary Constituency, Kerala.
SHRI M.K. RAGHAVAN (KOZHIKODE): Calicut is a major centre in the Malabar region and the Medical College at Calicut caters to the needs of the patients from all the six districts of northern Kerala. There has been a constant demand for elevating this college as a centre of excellence. A proposal is also pending with the Central Government. I would urge the Central Government to ensure speedy clearance of the same so as to benefit the entire region with modern & advanced medical facility.
