UP Health University: A White Elephant? Inauguration Delayed Amidst Staff & Equipment Crunch
The Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyay University of Health Sciences, despite its completed construction, remains shrouded in uncertainty. Its much-anticipated inauguration hangs in the balance, plagued by a critical shortage of key personnel and resources.
The university, laid down in 2019, has faced repeated setbacks. The COVID-19 pandemic, coupled with bureaucratic hurdles, contributed significantly to the delays.
A major roadblock is the absence of a Vice-Chancellor. Furthermore, the lack of faculty and essential medical equipment hinders the commencement of academic activities.
Opposition parties have seized upon these delays, leveling sharp criticism at the state government for its perceived inaction and mismanagement of the project. They question the allocation of funds and the overall planning process.
The prolonged delay raises serious concerns about the timely delivery of healthcare professionals to the state. This stalled project underscores the need for greater transparency and accountability in major public infrastructure projects.
