30 percent increase in medical seats

The promise was a 30 percent increase in medical-seat capacity. Times of India reported that Almora Medical College in 2021 and Haridwar Medical College in 2024 added 200 MBBS seats, raising government first-year medical seats to 625 from the three older government colleges. On that government-seat base, 200 additional seats is above a 30 percent increase. A later TOI report cited five government and four private medical colleges with 1,325 MBBS seats in total. This satisfies the measurable 30 percent capacity-increase objective, though the precise all-sector baseline should be rechecked when the final historical seat matrix is archived. Budget status: medical-college budget progress reports are listed by the state medical education department.
