IGIMS, Patna faces controversy for asking Doctors their Virginity Status
Patna: Recently Patna's Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences, IGIMS, has fallen in the news for all the wrong reasons with its bizarre declaration form that it takes from its employees as well as new recruits of doctors and nurses going viral. In the declaration form, the institute can be seen asking its employees weird questions including declaring their virginity and number of wives they have.
Finding it absurd?? Just read the components of the Declaration below;
Doctors of the institute, on the condition of anonymity, did agree that it is an absurd form, causing them a lot of embarrassment, when they take the same for verification from their seniors. With the photo of the form going viral, the institute is facing severe criticism from the media and the medical professionals alike for its contentious form. What is even more shocking is the revelation that said questions in the form have been in practice ever since the institute was established in 1984.
