History

In 2008, the plan to establish a medical college under the Bhagat Phool Singh Women's University at Khanpur Kalan was first announced by the Chief Minister of Haryana, Bhupinder Singh Hooda.[1] In 2009, on 1 March, Sonia Gandhi laid the foundation stone of the college.

In 2011, on 1 September, the hospital at the college became operational with 100 beds and a team of 21 doctors. This number has since grown to 450 beds and 211 doctors as of March 2013.[2]

It is the first women's Government Medical College of independent India and the first such institution in North India since Delhi’s Lady Hardinge Medical College that was established in 1914. The college was inaugurated on International Women's Day, 2013 by Sonia Gandhi, congress party chief.[2][3]

Campus

The college is spread over 88 acres of land and was set up at a cost of ₹700 crores.[2][4]

gollark: I see. I'm sure you'll possibly get to this later maybe.
gollark: If they have physical manifestations, they aren't what I mean and they aren't what you seem to mean.
gollark: Which ones, specifically? I mean, we have lots of fields doing some of that. Economics, politics, sociology, psychology, sort of thing.
gollark: The issue with saying "realm of spirit" instead of just "information [which doesn't physically exist]" is that you then have all the various vaguely religion-y connotations which you can then use to "prove" other things.
