Write 'Ram-Ram' if you make mistakes or show negligence- Ayodhya Medical College tells students
Ayodhya: The medical students at Rajarshi Dashrath Medical College, also known as Ayodhya Medical College, will have to write "Ram-Ram" multiple times in their notebooks as punishment if they make mistakes or show negligence.
According to the Hindustan Times report, Instead of giving harsh punishments, the college plans to experiment with a new, unique religious and spiritual approach by asking students to write the name of Lord Ram.
According to officials, the number of times students must write it will depend on how serious their mistake is. However, this is not an official written order given by the medical college but only a verbal instruction for the students.

When asked about the reason behind the decision, Principal Dr Satyajeet Verma told HT, "The measure aims to correct lapses in patient care and encourage self-reflection among students. In cases of negligence shown in patient care, irresponsible behaviour towards patients in medical wards, and not reporting on duty in time, medical students will get the punishment of writing ‘Ram-Ram’ on the spot. This will not only address their lapses but also boost their sense of service, self-reflection and positivity."
He further clarified, "This order is not an official or written order. It is my advice to the staff."
When asked about students from other faiths, he said, “People of other faiths may follow this advice according to their beliefs. My intent is only to remind everyone to remember the Almighty in any manner... Education is not only about imparting knowledge but also about nurturing dignity and moral values in students. Behavioural change can come only through promoting positive tendencies instead of giving harsh punishment.... Therefore, when students write God’s name, it will generate a feeling of self-control and restraint."
