Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu
Shimla: In a move aimed at enhancing the quality of medical education and healthcare services, Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu announced on Sunday that the state government will establish a common cadre for faculty appointments in all government medical colleges and super-speciality institutions.
In an official statement, Sukhu explained that currently, faculty appointments follow a college-specific cadre system, which results in administrative redundancies, inconsistencies in service conditions, and a severe shortage of faculty, particularly in newly established medical colleges.

Under the proposed common cadre system, recruitment processes, training programs, and career advancement opportunities will be standardized across all government medical colleges, while also harmonizing service conditions across all government medical institutions.
