The occasion was attended by Minister of Women and Child Development, Mrs. Anila Bhendiya, Bhilai MLA Mr. Devendra Yadav, Balod MLA Mrs. Sangeeta Sinha, Gundradehi MLA Mr. Kunwar Singh Nishad, President of Chhattisgarh Mineral Development Mr. Girish Dewangan, Durg Mayor Mr. Dhiraj Bakliwal, District Panchayat President Mrs. Shalini Yadav and other officials were present.
The Medical College management has been facing high tides in running the medical college. Previously reports the Chandulal Chandrakar Medical College with yearly intake of 150 MBBS seats was declared 'zero year' by the Medical Council of India (MCI). The institute failed to get the MCI approval for 2019-20 after the medical council's team inspected the medical colleges' premises and found gross deficiencies. This was the second consecutive time the medical college was denied permission.
Staring at an uncertain future due to prevailing gross deficiencies at their medical college which led to the de-recognition by the MCI, the students approached various governmental authorities seeking transfer to other medical colleges in a bid to save their career prospects. Subsequently, they filed a petition with the HC on the basis of the medical college's de-recognition and MCI report and High Court directed the state government to form a committee and draft a scheme for transferring the aggrieved MBBS students into other medical colleges. Now finally the management has expressed its difficulty in running the college and requested the government to take charge of the college.
