Prime Minister Modi announced plans to increase India's medical seats by 75,000 over five years.

During his 78th Independence Day speech, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced plans to increase India's medical seats by 75,000 over the next five years. The country has already increased medical seats to nearly one lakh in the last decade. This move aims to address the trend of Indian students, particularly those from the middle class, going abroad for medical education due to high costs, with around 25,000 youths leaving the country annually for medical studies. Modi's announcement signals the government's commitment to bolster domestic medical education and reduce the need for Indian students to seek medical education abroad.
