<h1>Medical education expansion to add domestic seats aims to reduce student outflow and strengthen the healthcare workforce.</h1> The Union Budget announces expansion of undergraduate medical seats with a staged plan to add seventy-five thousand seats over five years to reduce student outflow abroad and increase domestic healthcare workforce capacity. The measure accompanies infrastructure investments in technical institutes and an AI Centre for education. The Economic Survey identifies geographic and urban-rural imbalances in seat distribution and notes low pass rates for foreign medical graduates, recommending policy measures that deter overseas study while keeping domestic education costs reasonable. Stakeholders stress the need for qualified faculty and private-sector engagement.
