150 medical colleges may lose recognition for not following set standards
By MYBRANDBOOK
The National Medical Commission (NMC) is likely to derecognize around 150 medical colleges of the country for inadequate faculty and non-compliance of rules. NMC is the regulatory body for country's medical education and medical professionals.
Already, 40 medical colleges across the country have lost recognition and must show to the NMC that they are following set standards.
The list of colleges includes medical colleges in Gujarat, Assam, Puducherry, Tamil Nadu, Punjab, Andhra Pradesh, Tripura and West Bengal, sources said.
An inspection carried out by the Undergraduate Medical Education Board of the Commission for over a month revealed the differences in which they looked into CCTV cameras, lapses in Aadhar linked biometric attendance procedures and the faculty rolls.
Sources said the colleges were not following the criteria, including proper camera installation and their functioning. Biometric facility was not working properly. Many posts in the faculties were also found vacant during the inspection.
The medical colleges have the option to appeal, sources said. The first appeal can be made at the NMC within 30 days. If the appeal is rejected, they can approach the Union Ministry of Health.
The Union health minister Mansukh Mandaviya had in December warned of action against medical colleges that do not stick to rules or maintain proper faculty.
According to the official data released by the Central government, the number of medical colleges has been increased almost twice since 2014. But derecognition for 150 medical colleges could bring down the number of medical colleges by almost a quarter.
In March, the Gujarat government told the state's legislative assembly that data till December showed that more than 1,900 posts are lying vacant at the state's government-run medical colleges and hospitals.
