Empowering Education, Advancing Healthcare! 🏥 Performed the Bhoomipujan of 'Centre of Excellence' and to inaugurate CHAKRA at MUHS, Nashik. A visit to the Maharashtra University of Health Sciences campus was very nice. More than just infrastructure, it reflects thoughtful vision and purposeful planning — the kind that shapes the future of healthcare education. Marking 25 years of impactful contribution, the Maharashtra University of Health Sciences has made medical education accessible across the State. A university’s growth goes beyond academics and curriculum — the world’s top institutions thrive as Centres of Excellence and Incubation, driving research, nurturing innovators, and shaping the future of their fields. Under the visionary leadership of Hon PM Narendra Modi Ji, the New Education Policy has positively transformed the way we view the education sector. It’s encouraging to see our universities now driving meaningful initiatives. Earlier, there was a gap between academic learning and job market needs; however, curriculum are being shaped with industry in mind. In this context, the 'Chakra' model based on the Hub and Spoke system, along with the concept of Centres of Excellence, holds great significance. We aim to enhance healthcare over the next 2 to 4 years, providing families with up to ₹5 lakh health insurance under the Mahatma Phule Jan Arogya Yojana. We are working to ensure 50% of surgeries and treatments under this scheme occur within State-run institutions. Previously, the Maharashtra University of Health Sciences partnered with the Indian Institute of Management Nagpur for a significant Tribal Health program. A Centre of Excellence, based on the Hub and Spoke model, now includes Tribal Health, Genetic Care, and Genetic Studies. As universities worldwide move towards self-reliance, India is expected to follow, making such initiatives vital. Efforts to drive positive change in healthcare through technology and startups are underway. Minister Girish Mahajan, Minister Dadaji Bhuse, Minister Narhari Zirwal, Vice Chancellor of Maharashtra University of Health Sciences and other dignitaries were present.
