The team would visit the colleges at Gulbarga, Koppal, Chamrajnagar, Karwar, Madikeri and Gadag, he told reporters here.

The state government is unable to increase the quota of medical seats in its pool as MCI is yet to inspect the six new medical colleges, Patil said. The government will try its best to get the MCI nod for the new colleges, he added.

The recruitment process for the new medical colleges has already begun and infrastructure work is underway, Patil said.

The government is also committed to set up six more medical colleges as announced in this year's state budget, he said. The colleges will be set up in Tumkur, Chitradurga, Chickballapur, Bagalkot, Haveri and Yadgir, Patil said.

Besides, the government plans to set up super-speciality hospitals in Mysore, Hubli, Gulbarga, Belgaum and Bellary to make healthcare affordable.

Lands have been identified in all these districts, except Yadgir and Chickballapur. "We have directed the deputy commissioners of these two districts to identify the land," he added.

These colleges will be established in collaboration with the Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences, Patil said.

Bengaluru, Jan 10: State’s primary and secondary education minister, S Suresh Kumar on Friday asked the Department of Public Instruction to register a complaint in the cybercrime police station against the teacher who shared a video of a child mispronouncing a Kannada word.

The viral video shows the child from a government school incorrectly pronouncing the word 'Pakkelubu' (ribcage).

The minister observed, 'It is normal for children to pronounce words incorrectly and only repetitive practise will make them say it correctly. If a video of such a mistake is made and spread on the Internet the child will see it in future and be demoralised and might start hate learning. The person who made and posted this video has committed a grave crime.
