Early Times Report
Jammu, Apr 23: Health Ministry's announcement to start
Post Graduation courses in the Indira Gandhi Government Dental College (IGGDC)
and Hospital Jammu has proved empty recurring as administration is yet to apply
for PG courses despite having eligible faculty and requisite infrastructure.
Sources within the Health Department told that since
establishment of IGGDC Jammu, PG course has not been started due to lethargic
approach of the administration and officers of Sate Health and Medical
Education Department whereas Dental College Srinagar has been running PG course
for last many years.
"In Jammu PG course couldn't be started because of
required faculty members and infrastructure as per rules and regulations of
Dental Council of India so far," sources stated, adding that now the IGGDC
Jammu is having enough infrastructure and well as three Professors, three
Associate Professors and others and PG course could be started but failed to do
so.
Sources further stated that currently administration
was working on proposal of PG course which is lengthy procedure and it will
take more than 8 to 9 months to get approval from University of Jammu and
Dental Council of India and only then they will able to start the PG course in
IGGDC Jammu.
"Owing to discriminatory attitude of the state
administration with Jammu province, some aspirant are being forced to go
outside the State for doing specialization while others remains with Bachelor
degree as they do not have other option," sources stated.
When contacted, Principal of IGGDC Jammu Dr. Romesh
Singh admitted that they were yet to apply for PG course in University of Jammu
as well as Dental Council of India. He also said that they were working on the
proposal and it will be submitted as soon as possible.
