In a major boost to healthcare and education in the region, the state government has approved a new medical college for Forbesganj. The college will have 100 MBBS seats and state-of-the-art facilities.

Health Minister announced that construction will begin next month and the first batch of students will be admitted from the academic year 2027-28.

This will be a game-changer for students from Forbesganj and surrounding districts who previously had to travel to Patna or other cities for medical education.
