He highlighted that in February 2014, the Medical Council of India (MCI) recognised Pramukhswami Medical College as a Nodal Centre for Faculty Development, authorised to conduct Advanced Courses in Medical Education. Under this initiative, faculty members from 23 medical colleges across India have been trained. A dedicated space for faculty training is created in this block.

He expressed deep respect and gratitude towards the college  and reaffirmed the Alumni’s commitment to support the college in its future development initiatives.

Shri Atulbhai Patel stated that over the past five years, the management of Charutar Arogya Mandal has prioritised the modernisation of hospital infrastructure. The need for a Central Administrative Block was proposed by Pramukhswami Medical College. He further expressed confidence that future requirements, including facility upgrades, would continue to receive generous support from donors. At present, construction work is underway on the modern Radiology Centre, Nursing Hostel, Hospital Kitchen, and Annapurna Mess for which substantial donations have already been received, he added.
