The letter (dated 15th May, 2018) signed by D V K Rao, Under Secretary to the Govt of India, addressed to the State Commissioner for Health and Family Welfare, confirms the formal permission granted by the Government of India for establishment of a new medical college at Naharlagun TRIHMS - with an annual intake of 50 MBBS students for the academic year 2018-19, under Section 10 A of the IMC Act, 1956.
