MCI cracks a whip on ghost faculty problem
Advertisement
After the Supreme Court took notice of the issue of ‘ghost faculty’ in medical colleges and appointed an oversight Committee to oversee MCI, the on-ground action has begun sooner than expected. Taking action on its recent implication of doing away with the practice of ghost faculty in medical colleges during inspection, MCI has gone ahead seeking details of all faculty members in medical colleges. The details have to be submitted to MCI in the next two days.
The MCI's urgency is evident from the fact that deputy secretary administration A K Hair has in the circular sent on June 6 to deans and principals of all medical colleges asked them to treat it as "most urgent".
The information to be uploaded on the website includes name, date of birth, photo, photo ID, details of qualifications, including year, college and university names, copies of degrees and details of previous appointments and teaching experience of each faculty member in every medical college. The supervisory committee has given the recommendation on the MCI directive. The colleges are required to submit the information, with complete profile to be submitted to carry the signature of the HOD and principal. Failing to do so will invite strict action from MCI.
