Pertinently, ET had highlighted issue in which exposed the lackadaisical and non-serious approach of the concern authorities, following the college management constituted a committee which is head by HOD Physiology Dr. Sunil Sachdeva as chairman of the library committee and many more but in spite of a meeting, nothing has been done so far to buy medical journals.

As per Medical Council of India, it has been made mandatory to buy new and latest journals and regularly update teaching faculty on recent advancements taking place in the field of medical science so teaching would be improved, but who cares? About the guidelines of MCI, asked senior doctors.

"Owing to non-serious or callous approach of the incumbent management the future of the medical students--- who want to learn about advance treatment-- at stake because they don't have much knowledge about the recent advancement, "stated doctors. They added numbers of the times the matter was taken up but it seems the management doesn't care about it.

Official sources told that since 2012, no new medical journals were purchased by the management of the college and the matter was brought to the notice of the then Chairman of the committee and incumbent Principal/Dean of the College but all in vain.

When contacted Chairman of Library Committee, GMC Jammu Dr Sunil Sachdeva was not available for the comments.
