100 more seats in dental college
After close to 40 years of setting up the first dental college in Chennai, now, the state government is gearing up to construct the second one, this time in Virudhunagar - a southern district. While there have been 100 seats with the dental colleges so far, the count is set to double up in state-run colleges and increase up to 200.
Orders to establish the institution was issued by Chief Minister Edappadi K Palaniswamy on Wednesday. This is done complying with former CM Jayalalitha�s promise in the Assembly on 25th August 2015.
The CM has approved to start construction of buildings and deploy a dean, and the state health department is at the verge of beginning the work.
