PATIALA: The Baba Farid University of Health Sciences has granted provisional affiliation to Gian Sagar Education Trust Charitable Trust to start MBBS first year course within the intake of 150 seats for the academic session 2020-21.

All courses run by the Gian Sagar Education Trust Charitable Trust had been shut down in May 2017 after the state government had withdrawn all the essentiality certificates given to the institutions to run the three medical, dental, nursing and physiotherapy courses.

Following the discontinuation of all the courses at the institute, the state government had shifted 1550 medical, dental, nursing and physiotherapy students to other colleges in the state. The government had taken up their case with the Medical Council of India (MCI), the Dental Council of India (DCI) and Indian Nursing Council (INC).


The institute that had run into financial trouble after ts promotor Nirmal Singh Bhangu, who allegedly ran a Rs 45000 crore Ponzi scheme and was booked by the Enforcement Directorate (ED). As the Management could not pay the salaries of the staff and faculty, all teaching activities were suspended at the institute. Later, the students had even moved the Punjab and Haryana high court seeking that classes should be restarted.

The institute was later taken over by a Delhi based group, which after clearing all the financial liabilities of the institute started the Gian Sagar hospital and applied for MBBS seats.


While granting the provisional affiliation to the Gian Sagar education Charitable Trust the Baba Farid University of Health Sciences has underlined that the college will abide by all rules and regulations laid down by the University and fulfil all conditions for restarting the MBBS course at the institute.
