On October 25, 2021, PM Modi had inaugurated nine new medical colleges in Uttar Pradesh at Hardoi, Jaunpur, Mirzapur, Ghazipur, Fatehpur, Etah, Deoria, Siddhartha Nagar, and Pratapgarh. While inaugurating these institutes, PM Modi had said that with these institutes, nearly two and a half thousand new beds have been created to provide health services to the people of Uttar Pradesh and new employment opportunities have been created for over five thousand doctors and paramedics.

Recently a Right to Information (RTI) activist had alleged that Uttar Pradesh got the maximum funding for setting up new medical colleges as compared to other states of the country. He also alleged that it is due to the upcoming Assembly Elections in UP.
