Nursing Interns get stipend hike after 27 Years: CM Rekha Gupta
New Delhi: The Delhi government, in a recent cabinet meeting, approved a proposal for a significant hike in the monthly stipend for nursing interns at government hospitals- from Rs 500 to Rs 13,150. This was the first revision in the past 27 years, officials said.
The decision, taken in a cabinet meeting, will benefit nearly 180 nursing interns from the three nursing colleges attached to the Delhi government's Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital, Lok Nayak Hospital, and Deen Dayal Upadhyay Hospital, a health department official told PTI.
Health Minister Pankaj Singh said the revision addresses a long-pending demand of nursing students and aims to provide them parity with MBBS interns.
