Govt. may approve new medical courses

By Our Special Correspondent

BANGALORE June 21. The Cabinet Subcommittee on Medical Education has decided to recommend to the Cabinet to consider giving recognition for certain new courses planned to be started in the existing medical colleges.

The subcommittee which met here today suggested that permission to start new courses could be granted, provided the Inspection Committee was satisfied with the infrastructure available in the institutions.

The subcommittee, however, was of the opinion that no new medical college should be permitted during the next academic year.

The Minister for Law and Parliamentary Affairs, D.B. Chandre Gowda, who is a member of the Cabinet Subcommittee, told presspersons here that as many as 70 institutions had applied for permission to start new courses, mainly nursing, during the next academic year.

Special courts

Mr. Chandre Gowda said the Karnataka High Court had given permission to set up special courts to try offences under the Prevention of Terrorism Act (POTA) in the four divisional headquarters in the State. Accordingly, special courts would be established in Bangalore, Mysore, Gulbarga, and Belgaum, he added.
