Chennai: The Union government has informed the Madras high court that 108 students of the now defunct Ponniah Ramajayam Institute of Medical Sciences (PRIMS) will be accommodated in six other private medical colleges in Tamil Nadu.
Counsel for the Union ministry for health and welfare produced a communication to the effect and informed the division bench headed by Justice M Sathyanarayanan that necessary permission has been accorded to increase the respective number of seats to the six colleges – Raja Muthiah Medical College and Research Institute, Chidambaram; Karpagavinayaga Institute of Medical Science and Research Centre, Kancheepuram; Karpagam Faculty of Medical Science and Research, Coimbatore; Tagore Medical College Hospital and Vellammal Medical College Hospital in Madurai, and Adiparasakthi Medical College and Research Institute, Melmaruvathur.
The ministry made the submission on a review application moved by the Tamil Nadu government seeking to review the decision of the court dated February 1, directing the state to admit the students in the 22 government-run medical colleges in TN.
As per the directions, the MCI permitted the state to increase seats in the 22 colleges and recommended that 108 students be proportionately adjusted in the colleges through a communication dated March 10. However, expressing various practical difficulties in absorbing the students, the state requested the MCI to accommodate them in the six private colleges.
Considering the request, the MCI permitted the six self-financing medical colleges in the state to accommodate them and issued necessary permission.
Recording the submissions, the bench closed the review application as nothing remains for further adjudication.
The issue pertains to pleas moved by second year students of PRIMS who were denied permission to continue their medical course since MCI refused recognition to the college. Holding the state responsible for their plight, a single judge of the court had initially directed the state to accommodate them in the government medical colleges in the state.
