Most of the original structures continued and are still used to impart Medical Education even though they are now in a pathetic structural state and offer no qualitative elements as is required for education. The overall environment is depressing & defeats the very essence of education, as it inspires none.

However subsequent study & measurement showed that the total area available for development was 39.26 acres instead of 42,5 acres as was originally assumed. The 25 acre land required for the Medical Hospital & College could not be reduced due to norms of MCI of shortfall had to be absorbed in the commercial area, thus reducing its potential & subsequently a deficit of 60 crore plus was estimated.
