RIMS Director removed after Governing Body order

Ranchi: Within a few months of being appointed as the Director of Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS), Ranchi, Dr Raj Kumar has been recently removed from his position on the grounds of negligence in fulfilling his duties, delay in departmental work, and failure to follow government instructions.
The decision was taken by the governing council of the institute, which recommended his removal to the state health department. Acting on it accordingly, the department announced the removal order on Thursday night.
Dr Raj Kumar, who earlier worked as a neurosurgery professor at Sanjay Gandhi Postgraduate Institute of Medical Sciences (SGPGIMS), Lucknow, was appointed as the RIMS Director on January 31, 2024, for a three-year term.

However, the institute observed that he often deliberately ignored official orders and did not cooperate in carrying out important tasks, which led to pending departmental work. This was continuing for days since he was appointed. Due to his unsatisfactory performance, the institute decided to remove him as per the TNIE report.
