Many medical colleges have been established in the country for commercial reasons. Many closed medical colleges have been started due to court order.^{[ citation needed ]} According to the Prime Minister's order to strictly monitor whether medical standards are being properly maintained in medical colleges, a medical university will be set up in each division.
