Adhaar numbers to be used to check ghost faculty: MCI
Dehradun: The Medical Council of India in its endeavour to control ghost faculty appointments in government and private medical colleges has now decided to link Aadhaar Numbers of the faculties to their biometric details.
A state based IT company Bodhtree Consulting Limited and Technological Solutions has also been employed to implement the plan across states. The project will cost the state Rs.40 crores. Besides this the MCI has decided to issue Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags to both staff and students of medical colleges.
The Medical Council of India officials called a meeting of the state medical councils on August 19 and discussed the entire plan in detail. The agenda of the meeting was ‘implementation of the e-governance project’. Dr. D.D. Choudhary, Deputy Registrar, Uttarakhand Medical Council who was present for the meeting told the press that issues like maintaining online records of human resource details of the medical colleges, granting of unique identification cards to the faculty members and students were discussed in the meeting.
