With the opening of nine new medical institutions in one day by telangana chief minister K Chandrashekhar Rao, medical education will enter a new era. telangana will become the first indian State to have government medical colleges created in all of its districts thanks to the new medical colleges and refurbished district hospitals, which will also improve medical education and tertiary healthcare in districts.
No other indian State—aside from Telangana—has created nine medical institutions and been given approval to open 900 MBBS seats in a single academic year (2023–2024). As a result, it was granted authorization by the National Medical Commission (NMC) to fill 43% of all government MBBS seats in India.

A total of 2,118 medical seats were approved by the NMC this year, with 900 of those being added in Telangana. At the new campuses at Kamareddy, Karimnagar, Khammam, Jayashankar Bhupalpally, Asifabad, Nirmal, Rajanna Sircilla, Vikarabad, and Jangaon, the seat distribution and related processes for students reporting have been finished.

8 more in next academic year
By the upcoming academic year 2024–2025, construction is currently underway to establish eight additional government medical colleges with connected district hospitals at Jogulamba Gadwal, Narayanpet, Mulugu, Warangal, Medak, yadadri Bhongir, Rangareddy, and medchal Malkajgiri.

"To make telangana into Arogya telangana is chief minister K Chandrashekhar Rao's ambition. According to T Harish Rao, the health minister, "We will be the first State to create government medical institutions in every district, fostering more chances for students to pursue medical education and further enhancing healthcare services.

BJP’s bizarre claims about colleges
The BJP-led union government at the centre was occupied with outright lies and absurd claims about its nonexistent role in getting medical colleges sanctioned and funded for telangana, while the telangana government was pressed for time to finish the construction of 9 medical colleges, upgrade the attached district hospitals, hire teaching faculty, and get them ready for NMC inspection.

The BJP-led federal government repeatedly made false claims that it founded and even supported the medical institutions in telangana last year and even this year. Under its Centrally Sponsored Scheme (CSS) headed "Establishment of new Medical Colleges attached with existing district/referral hospitals," the BJP-led union government has not yet allocated or financed a single medical college. Yet it brazenly persists in lying and causing confusion by disseminating false information by asserting that it has built medical colleges.

To clear up any confusion, the telangana government spent more than Rs 4,500 crore to build 9 medical colleges, with each college costing more than Rs 400 crore. The NMC, not the union government, was the entity that recognised the nine medical colleges.
