Promised Rs 45000, paid only Rs 10,000: PG Medicos of private medical college allege stipend irregularities
Mangaluru: Approximately 100 postgraduate (PG) students enrolled at a private medical college in Sullia are in a standoff with the college authorities regarding the non-payment of their stipends. The students alleged that despite established guidelines by the National Medical Council and state government regarding stipend amounts, the college management is not adhering to these directives.
As per a recent media report by Times of India, though the doctors have been making persistent efforts spanning several months, their appeals fell on deaf ears and the college administration failed to provide any satisfactory resolution to their grievances. Under such circumstances, the PG doctors are contemplating staging a protest to draw attention to their plight. Previous attempts at organizing protests were reportedly thwarted by management intervention, accompanied by promises of resolution. However, the students remain undeterred, and on Wednesday, they reached out to bank officials, requesting the issuance of their bank passbooks and other essential documents directly to them.
