He was speaking after laying the foundation stone of Maharaja Agrasen Medical University in Bahadurgarh, said an official release here.
He also laid stones for four new medical, nursing, paramedical and hospital management colleges to come up in the medical university at the cost of about Rs 500 crore.
The Chief Minister said with the setting up of Maharaja Agrasen Medical University, the whole state and its nearby areas would get the facility of better medical education and health care.
The state government was also pacing up the process of setting up a medical college in Manethi, Kalpana Chawla Medical College in Karnal along with new medical colleges in eight districts, the CM said.
In the remaining districts, medical colleges would soon be set up, he added.
Union Minister of Rural Development and Panchayati Raj, Birender Singh, said no society or nation could progress without proper education.
