New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on I-Day speech outlined his government’s commitment to developing an education system that ensures young people no longer need to study abroad, announcing the introduction of 75,000 new medical seats in the next five years. “Every year around 25,000 youths move to other nations for medical education. Some students move to such countries, which makes me worry a lot. Owing to this, we have decided that in the next five years, we will create 75,000 new medical seats,” Modi said.
