Last year, Vedantaa was set up as Maharashtra's first medical college under a private limited company. All other private colleges and hospitals in the state are set up as trusts.Setting a precedent for unregulated fees in professional colleges, the state has exempted Vedantaa Institute of Medical Sciences in Palghar from the ambit of the Fee Regulating Authority (FRA). This decision gives the institute a free hand to fix tuition and other fees. In a letter to the FRA, the state government has said the move was in line with the Centre's decision to invite private companies with commercial interests to set up medical colleges.
                "As this is a first-of-its-kind college which is registered as a private limited company established to make profit, the MCI has allowed such institutes to charge fees like deemed universities," said medical education secretary Sanjay Deshmukh.The state had decided that fees of reserved category students admitted to Vedantaa would not be reimbursed by the government, as in the case in other private colleges. "Five years down the line, the government will end up spending Rs 40-50 crore in reimbursing fees of reserved students admitted to this college," said a senior officer.
                 Last year, the Directorate of Medical and Education Research exempted it from the FRA. But parents moved the FRA and in one of its hearings, this quasi-judicial body ruled that as Vedantaa was a private professional college affiliated to the Maharashtra University of Health Sciences, it would fall under the purview of the FRA. In a meeting on December 2, the FRA resolved that the institution is unaided, private and is running a professional course and, therefore, is subject to its jurisdiction as per the provisions of the Maharashtra Private and Unaided Professional Educational Institutions (Regulation of Admission and Fees) Act, 2015.
The minutes of the meeting read, "The institution in blatant disregard for the ad hoc fees fixed by FRA, which is Rs 6 lakh per student, has been collecting Rs 14 lakh". It added, the institution had declared the fees for NRI/institution quota at Rs 30 lakh, which was not permissible. The government has now overturned the FRA's decision, much to its dismay.
                              The decision has shocked the medical fraternity and activists, who feel this is the thin end of the wedge and the number of colleges that use the existing rules to opt out of the regulatory framework will increase, making medical education dearer and unaccessible to most talented students who cleared NEET to get MBBS or PG seats.Now a Medical Bazar has started where starting from fee then for passing every profession,exam fee and other fees as hostel,library will be decided by such institute so a MBBS student may has to pay 2 crores or more for passing MBBS.

                After NEET,PVT Medical Education Bazar sensex was flat and was needing such movement as professional one after paying hugh to policy makers of our country or they themselves will start such colleges either being a full or partial partner.

              Slowly they will change SC order too that fully commercial college may admit any student with any marks for MBBS or PG course and they can produce Munna Bhai MBBS in large numers having no definite course of study material or time frame.Yes, our Doctor population ratio will be corrected and large number of so called professional or purely commercial medical colleges will survive and earn hugh profit of crores in just 1-2 yrs after investment of few crores only but who will like get treated by such MBBS Doctors,what will be our research value,what the world will think over our medical Standard ?

                But Supreme Court has loudly stated while endorsing NEET that Medical Education like all other Education is basic right of every person,on basis of economic status or religion or cast creed such education cannot be sold and some one cant denied to read it for just lack of money.It is a noble profession where Industralist or Business men should come to serve the society not to earn hugh money in no time as in capital market.

                What as a Medical Doctor you think for such privatisation ? Why office bearers of MCI or FRA are so much obedient to Government fascit policy of selling medical education openly and making it accessible to rich and affluent only compromising education and research.
