Manipur violence: Churachandpur Medical College students to study in JNIMS in Imphal

Digital Desk: According to officials, Churachandpur Medical College's first-year MBBS students will take their offline classes at Jawaharlal Nehru Institute of Medical Sciences (JNIMS) in Imphal as well as the college as a result of the horrific ethnic violence that has been occurring in Manipur.

Churachandpur Medical College students had already asked the state administration for a safe location to continue their studies while the ethnic violence was occurring, expressing their worry, sadness, and anxiety.

Churachandpur Medical College Director S. Iboyaima Singh stated on Thursday that in response to the Manipur government's request and taking into account the current state of law and order in the state, the National Medical Commission (Undergraduate Medical Education Board) has approved the classes (offline) for the medical college's first-year MBBS students to be held at both the government-run medical colleges, JNIMS in Imphal and the medical college campus.

In a statement, Singh stated that these practices would continue until things in the state were back to normal.

Beginning on June 19, the two medical institutions would offer classes in person.

According to the medical college director, the students were advised to select the institution that would best suit their schedules for attending classes.

The newly established medical college was opened by Union Home Minister Amit Shah on January 6 of this year. The first batch of students is now enrolled in the first year of the MBBS programme there.

Nearly 60 of the 100 students are from Manipur's valley regions.

Numerous students, government workers, and other citizens from seven northeastern and other parts of the nation were saved by their state governments after the ethnic violence broke out in Manipur on May 3 after special arrangements had been made.

In the Imphal-based Regional Institute of Medical Sciences, Central Agricultural University, and other Central government-run institutions, hundreds of students from all the northeastern and other states have been enrolled.
