For example the medical college at Siddharthpur is named after Madhav Prasad Tripathi, the medical college of Deoria after the saint Maharishi Devraha Baba, the medical college at Ghazipur named after the sage Maharishi Vishwamitra, the medical college at Mirzapur named after Devi. It will be named after Vindhyavasini. Pratapgarh will be named after Dr. Sonelal Patel and finally Etah’s medical college will be named after freedom fighter Avantibai Lodhi.

Along with this, seven medical colleges of the state have got recognition from the National Medical Council.
Admission process for 100-100 MBBS seats will be started through NEET in all these medical colleges from this session. The objective of this medical college is not only to provide benefits to the people of Siddharth Nagar but also to provide best medical facilities to the people of Balrampur, Maharajganj and neighboring Nepal.
