No Stipend for 6 Months! MGMCRI MBBS Interns file complaint
Puducherry: Claiming that they have not received their stipend since the joining of the internship in May, the 2019 MBBS batch students at Mahatma Gandhi Medical College and Research Institute (MGMCRI) have urged the authorities to release the eligible stipend at the earliest.
The 2019 batch MBBS students are currently undergoing the Compulsory Rotating Medical Internship (CRMI), which started in May. Writing to the Dean of the institute, these interns have claimed that since May, they only received Rs 1,371 in their bank accounts.
As per the Government Order dated June 21, 2024, MBBS interns at the institute are supposed to get a stipend of Rs 20,000. Referring to this order, the interns pointed out that this order was issued with retrospective effect from the academic year 2023-2024.
Issuing the G.O, the U.T Administration had notified the deans of State-run and private medical colleges regarding the monthly stipend fixed by the government for the medical student.
