Haryana's Health Minister Arti Singh Rao stated that under the leadership of Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, the state government is continuously expanding and modernizing health services. The Maharishi Chyawan Medical College, located amidst the Aravalli hills in Koriawas, Mahendragarh district, is an ultra-modern medical institute. In terms of connectivity, location and environment, it is considered the best medical college in Haryana.

The government is making efforts to commence MBBS classes here from this year itself. The hostel, hospital wing, and academic block are all fully ready.

The Health Minister was speaking to mediapersons after inspecting the medical college in Koriawas, Mahendragarh.

The Health Minister added that the government is continuously increasing the health budget, which reflects its commitment to strengthening healthcare services.

Speaking about the 'Ujjwal Drishti Yojana', she mentioned that this scheme has been implemented for the first time in Haryana, under which free spectacles have been distributed across the state. Before this, the Health Minister held a meeting with officials in the academic block of the medical college. She also inspected the medical wing and the hostel facilities.
