As per scheme's guidelines, the state government is the implementing agency and the planning, execution and commissioning of the project is done by the state governments concerned, he explained.

He said 7 proposals for setting up of medical colleges at Piduguralla, Paderu, Machilipatnam, Eluru, Markapuram (Prakasam district), Pulivendula (YSR Kadapa district) and Vizianagaram were received from Andhra Pradesh. Of them, three were approved at Piduguralla, Paderu and Machilipatnam. Further, all 75 medical colleges have already been sanctioned.
