"The Medical Council of India, often in the news for controversial approvals and corruption, is set to be replaced by a medical education commission that will have three independent wings to oversee curriculum, accreditation of colleges and medical ethics," reported the Times of India, if the government's Niti Aayog panel's guidelines are implemented.

According to the Times source "the plan is to totally disband MCI and set up an entirely new entity" umbrella organisation that would regulate and monitor medical education and practices.
