A consultant has been appointed on 29.02.2008 for submitting the feasibility report on the proposal. A letter has also been received from Government of Kerala requesting for taking necessary steps for starting a medical college at ESI Hospital, Paripally in Kollam District.

Further action can be taken only after the proposed amendment to the ESI Act is carried out and on the basis of feasibility report.
