Know why Bombay HC issued directions for strict compliance with Government Circular for providing basic medical facilities at educational institutions
Bombay High Court noted that educational institutions in larger cities have a substantial strength of students and staff members, spending considerable number of hours away from their homes; and medical emergencies could occur due to commuting requirements and other diverse activities within the institution premises. Therefore, a structured approach and mandate of law is required to ensure a ready availability of basic medical facilities on the premises.
