The Union Government plans to set up model degree colleges (MDCs) in 374 educationally backward districts in the country, where the gross enrolment ratio is lower than other districts, as a part of 11th five-year plan.
Around 20 such MDCs will come up in various districts of Gujarat. Of the estimated total expenditure of Rs 8 crore for each college, Rs 3 crore is to be given by the Union government.
