Andhra Pradesh Plans to Run 10 Medical Colleges Under PPP Model in Two Years

Andhra Pradesh Health Minister Satya Kumar Yadav announced plans to operationalise 10 medical colleges under the Public Private Partnership (PPP) model within two financial years, with an estimated cost of Rs 8,480 crore. He noted that 17 medical colleges were initiated during the previous YSRCP regime, funded through NABARD, central government schemes, and SASCI. Yadav alleged limited spending and incomplete land acquisition by the prior government, while accusing YSRCP leaders of falsely claiming credit. The Assembly also saw disputes over an alleged Tirupati laddu ghee adulteration case involving Heritage Foods and Indapur Dairy.
