The Punjab cabinet led by Capt Amarinder Singh on Thursday set up a three-member committee to study the problems and fee structure of private medical institutes and suggest ways to rationalise the same.
The committee will consist of Health Minister Brahm Mohindra, Finance Minister Manpreet Badal and Higher and Technical Education Minister Charanjit Singh Channi.
The cabinet took note of the high fees charged by private instituties from medical students. The committee is mandated to study the matter in detail along with other relevant concerns with regard to such institutes, which have mushroomed across Punjab in recent years.
During the cabinet meeting, Channi said that private universities should implement student and job reservation policies. The CM asked the committee to take note of the suggestion and share its views on the matter.
