A medical college run by an education trust of the Bharatiya Janata Party-ruled Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) was named after Prime Minister Narendra Modi On Thursday, September 15.
The Medical Education Trust (MET) runs the college in Ahmedabad’s Maninagar area. “Now, the AMC MET Medical College, which runs from the campus of AMC-run LG Hospital in Maninagar area, will be known as Narendra Modi Medical College,” announced Hitesh Barot, Chairman of the municipal corporation’s standing committee, as stated in a report by PTI.
A proposal to name the medical college after Modi was unanimously approved at a standing committee meeting on Thursday. According to Barot, the college was built during Modi’s tenure as Gujarat’s Chief Minister.
“Since this medical college was built during PM Modi’s tenure as Gujarat Chief Minister, everyone was of the opinion that it should be named after Narendrabhai so that people remember his contribution. That is the least we can do for a person who did so much for the state and the city,” he said as per PTI .
