Madhya Pradesh Govt doctors oppose Pay Protection bill

Additionally, the bill states that during future promotions, a medical teacher’s past service will not be counted when considering higher posts. The Dynamic Assured Career Progression (DACP) scheme will also not take into account their prior experience in autonomous institutions, leading to disadvantages in career advancement. Furthermore, medical teachers will not be eligible for leave encashment benefits, gratuity, or seniority advantages if they transfer from one autonomous institution to another.

The association emphasized that Madhya Pradesh is already facing a significant shortage of medical teachers in both government and autonomous medical colleges, and this incomplete order could worsen the crisis. While talking to Medical Dialogues, the association president, Dr Rakesh Malviya stated, "The government had been urged to revise the policy to attract more medical professionals to newly established medical colleges. However, instead of providing incentives, the flawed implementation of the pay protection order will result in financial and professional losses for medical educators, potentially weakening the state’s healthcare and medical education system."
