The Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER), Chandigarh, has come under the scanner of the National Commission for Scheduled Castes (NCSC) over allegations of discrimination and harassment faced by Scheduled Caste employees.

The Commission issued a formal notice to PGIMER on September 4 after receiving a complaint from a doctor on February 21, 2025. The NCSC has invoked its powers under Article 338 of the Constitution of India to inquire into the matter.

In its notice, the Commission has directed PGIMER to submit details of the allegations along with the action taken report within 15 days of receiving the communication. The notice warns that if PGIMER fails to respond in time, the Commission may exercise powers similar to those of the Civil Courts.
