AGARTALA, July 7 (TIWN): In the name of Society run Medical College, Tripura Govt collected Rs. 86 lakhs loan from State Bank in the ONGC in 2016 showing cause of infrastructure building, whereas above Rs. 6 lakhs are being taken from the students of AGMC per admission. Whereas Tripura Health Minister Badal Choudhury washed hand saying 'TMC is a 100 % private College', but in the notification No. F.3 (2-306) - PLAN /DHS/ 09/ 519 -26 of Health Dept. it is clearly mentioned "The undersigned is directed to allot and place an amount of Rupees Eighty Five Lakhs only under State Plan (Divisible Pool) in demand No. 20 in favour of DDO, O/o the Add Director of Health Services, Govt of Tripura to deposit the same in the joint account No. 30988719585 of ONGC Branch of State Bank of India being the loan eased by Finance Dept, Govt of Tripura for the society of TMC & BRAM Hospital". However, reportedly, the loan has been also a huge burden for the state Govt with allegations came from opposition BJP have gone in Melarmath fund.
Whereas Tripura Govt announced that the TMC is 100 % a Private College but while the loan sanctioning, Tripura Govt took the full authenticity.
Tripura Medical College (TMC), whether it’s a govt College or Private College, till day people could not know clearly anything about it. In a major charge, Tripura Opposition BJP leader Sunil Deodhar said that Tripura Govt took the affiliation from MCI but at the same time above 6 lakhs rupees are taken by the College, whereas at Manipur a student is taking admission at 700 rupees. The issue raised when Badal Choudhury on Doctors Day said that Indian Govt trying to give both the Govt Colleges in private hands and alleged that BJP leader Sunil Deodhar is taking special initiative to do all these. Condemning Choudhury, Deodhar strongly opposes the statement of Badal Choudhury saying that not the central but Tripura Govt handed over the College long back by introducing GNET in PPP model and continued to swallow public money per admission Rs. 6 lkahs.
Addressing the press meet, Deodhar said, “My first question for Badal Ji whereas you claimed that TMC will be given in corporate hand, but in reality you only gave TMC in corporate sector. What was that GNET then that was joined by PPP model for the college ? From Kerala Bal Ch. Nayak was brought, whom Tripura Govt gave 5 crores of loan per year”.
“To run the company 50 crores of loan was given to the Nayak and soon Nayak was disappeared. Later communist govt had recovered that loan. But no FIR was lodge initially ? Why Tripura Govtha snot done anything to nab the Nayak ? 100 % the money went to Melarmath ?”, said Deodhar.
“Moreover, Tripura Medical College is not a Govt College, but to MCI it was said that it’s a Govt College run by society……again this college is taking around 6 lakhs per students”, said Deodhar.
The opposition leader also said that the affiliation given by MCI has been ended in 2016.
