Aligarh: The visitor of Aligrah Muslim University (AMU) and the president of India Shrimati Pratibha Patil has approved the establishment of three new departments at the Jawahrlal Nehru Medical College of AMU. The three new departments are: department of Pediatric Surgery, department of Cardiothoracic Surgery and department of Neurosurgery. After the establishment of these three new departments M.Ch course would also be started as well as a better care for the patients will be possible.
The proposal for these three new courses was first sent to the University Grants Commission, which in turn, after a careful study sent it to the visitor of Aligarh Muslim University hon'ble president of India Shrimati Pratibha Devisingh Patil who approved the proposal.
After the opening and starting of academic activities of these three new Departments the total number of departments in the Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College would increase to twenty five. It must be mentioned here that the proposal for these three new departments was sent to the Hon'ble President of India long back but it was in pending. However, the Aligarh Muslim University administration vehemently pursued the case and clinched the deal after breaking much sweat.
The approval has given a new hope to the students especially those studying in the medical sciences. This has also paved the way for the Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College to grant a status at par with the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi
