Another setback to GMC Jammu

Health Ministry refuses to increase PG seats

Early Times Report
Jammu, Mar 3: The decision of the Union Health Ministry not to enhance PG quota has left the medical aspirants shocked.
Pertinent to mention on last Wednesday, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW) rejected the proposal for postgraduate seat enhancement in the GMC Jammu and only four out of the expected 25 seats in GMC Srinagar have been approved, that too in nonclinical departments.
A senior official of Health and Medical Education Department, seeking anonymity, told Early Times that there was nothing to be surprised in the decision of the Union Health Ministry because its credit goes to the administration of the GMC Jammu, which has completely failed to overcome the shortcomings despite repeated warnings by the Medical Council of India (MCI)'s team. Instead of redressing the deficiencies, the GMC Jammu has preferred to misguide the concerned higher authority on the shortcomings.
"Likewise every year, same has been happened this year too, owing to which medical aspirants felt that the concerned authority is leaving no stone unturned to ruin the future of the numbers of the aspirants by misleading the government. A number of aspirants are taking up the matter with higher authority to save their future," he added.
A group of aspirants told that GMC Jammu was never serious about the academics. Whereas, within and outside the state, the PG seats are being increased year by year but in Jammu, the graph has remained same.
The condition of the GMC Jammu can be gauged from the fact that for the last more than four years the medical journals, which are necessary for teachers and students, were not purchased. Other states have digitalized Libraries.
Expressing dismay, the aspirants said it was unfortunate that the demand has been rejected. "We need to figure out the reasons behind it," theysaid.
Minister of State (MoS) Aesia Naqash said the matter shall be taken with the state health ministry and the chief minister. She assured all possible help to dejected aspirants.
