Pariyaram Cooperative Medical College was caught into controversy on account of admission of daughter of one of its office bearers.
It is alleged that DYFI’s treasurer VV Rameshan got his daughter admitted into the Medical college using his clout. It should be known to readers that capitation fees for admission in NRI quota runs in to many lakhs and according one figure it is above Rs 50 lakhs.
DYFI State Committee met recently and decided to sack Mr Rameshan. The Committee felt that it is unfair and immoral for any office bearer to use his clout for admission for his or her ward.
One may be aware that the long cherished dream of the people of North Malabar of having an advanced health care centre in their vicinity came into reality when there was a move to establish a Medical College and a Super Specialty hospital in the Co-operative Sector and Pariyaram was selected as the location for this massive project. It is located on Payyanur – Kannur National Highway 17.
