UP medical colleges to install solar plants, says Dy CM Pathak

This will improve the patient care due to uninterrupted power supply, said UP Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak.

As per reports, Uttar Pradesh medical colleges will produce more electricity through solar plants. 

UP Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak, who holds the health portfolio said, "Principals of medical colleges have been instructed to install solar plants on campuses. This will help in obtaining uninterrupted power supply.”

If all colleges generate excess electricity, they can enter into a contract with the Uttar Pradesh New and Renewable Energy Development Agency (UPNEDA) for the sale of excess electricity, he said, as reported by Assam Tribune.

“Generating solar power will also contribute to improving patient care through uninterrupted power supply,” added Pathak. 

He also mentioned plans to upgrade the modular operating theatre at King George’s Medical University, and the Cardiology Institute at GSVM Memorial Medical College in Kanpur is set to initiate a DNB course in vascular surgery.

Uttar Pradesh has a total of 35 medical colleges in the government sector including King George’s Medical University, Lohia Institute, and Meerut Medical College, which generate electricity using solar plants.
