A new government medical college and hospital at Baran, Rajasthan, planned for 150 MBBS admissions a year under National Medical Commission norms. The Prime Minister laid its foundation stone in July 2023.
About the project
Baran is a district town in the Hadoti region of south-eastern Rajasthan. Its new Government Medical College is one of seven that ARCH-EN DESIGN planned for the Government of Rajasthan, at Tonk, Jaisalmer, Sawai Madhopur, Baran, Bundi, Jhunjhunu and Karauli. Each is planned to National Medical Commission norms for 150 MBBS admissions a year, with a teaching hospital, college, hostels and staff housing on one campus and a built-up area of about 48,000 square metres.
