BMC's Recruitment of 700 faculty posts hits roadblock
Legal hurdle delays BMC's Recruitment of 700 faculty posts in Medical Colleges
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation’s (BMC) proposal seeking general approval for all future appointments for professors in its four medical colleges has encountered hurdles from the state government's legal department.
Although the urban development department has approved the civic body’s plan to recruit over 700 teaching staff, the advertisement for the recruitment drive is still pending due to unresolved legal concerns.
Currently, the BMC-run medical colleges have a sanctioned strength of around 829 teaching staff, including professors, assistant professors, and lecturers, many of whom also serve as doctors at affiliated teaching hospitals. Out of these, only about 200 are permanent employees, while around 350 are serving on contractual terms. The remaining posts remain unfilled, leading to increased pressure and workload on the current faculty, reports the Daily.
