Uttarakhand: The MBBS students in the some of the Uttarakhand government medical colleges are struggling to pay the hefty fee of MBBS courses after the concerned authorities decided to revoke the bond service norm which used to give the medicos a subsidized fee in GMCs.
The MBBS students are enraged at the government's decision and have used social media platforms to protest. All the government medical colleges used to sign a bond with MBBS students were given a subsidized fee on the condition of serving at a government medical facility for five years after their completion of the course. But now this system of providing subsidized fees in exchange for service has been taken away by the government.
The medical Dialogues Team previously reported that with the bond service helping them with the fee, the students used to pay 50000 annual fees; however, when the government decided to take away the bond service norm, the MBBS students will be compelled to pay 4.26 lacs per annum. According to the bond, previously the undergraduate medical students of Government Medical College were given a chance to pursue MBBS courses with a subsidized fee if they agree to work five years on government medical facilities after their completion of the course. However, as the Uttarakhand government removed this condition bond, many of them are facing difficulties as now the fees have increased 8 times from 50k to 4.11 lacs per annum.
