Scientists protesting proposal to limit years for project, AIIMS officers' association extends support

Following a recent guideline by All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi which limited the number of years a scientist or research scholar can be employed in projects at the premier medical institute, the Officers' Association of the institute extended its support to the scientists who are currently protesting against the proposal.

According to the Society of Young Scientists (SYS), the proposed guidelines cap the number of projects a researcher can take up to three, which they allege is expected to lead to the immediate termination of around 1,400 employees, including researchers and technical staff employed in various projects at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS).

"In reference to the letter received by the Society of Young Scientists in context of the proposed revisions regarding project staff recruitment guidelines, we support them in their stand against the dismissal of contractual research project staff on a short notice," the Officers' Association of the AIIMS said in a statement. The Officers' Association of the AIIMS are employees associated with the administrative work of AIIMS.
