MCI is hub of Education, Business, Corruption; Should NOT be Regulator: RSS body
The RSS affiliate suggested that MCI, ICAR and BCI should not be regulators and confine themselves to setting professional standards of their respective streams.
New Delhi: The Medical Council of India (MCI), has become "hub of education business and related corruption", the RSS-backed Bharatiya Shikshan Mandal (BSM) has alleged and suggested overhauling the apex medical regulatory body.
The BSM made similar allegations against the Bar Council of India (BCI) and the Indian Council of Agriculture Research (ICAR) and suggested their overhauling as well.
MCI, BCI and ICAR act as regulatory bodies for higher education institutions functioning in medical, legal and agriculture streams.
In an informal note on changes in education policy which has been circulated by it among senior government functionaries, the organisation has advocated for Sanskrit as compulsory subject till Class 8.
The BSM, the offshoot of the ruling BJP's ideological parent RSS, has given as many as 19 recommendations for overhauling of the education system and making it more student centric and closer to Indian culture. It has also suggested that the Human Resource Development Ministry and the Culture Ministry should be merged as there are about 150 institutes under the Ministry of Culture that also provide education in the field of art.
