160 medical teachers of Nagpur GMCH resign from PG guideship due to non-fulfilment of demands

As many as 160 medical teachers of Nagpur Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) have resigned from the PG guideship due to non-fulfilment of their demands.

The Maharashtra State Medical Teachers Association (MSMTA) had written to Amit Deshmukh, State Medical Education Minister and informed that the medical teachers at Nagpur Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) have unanimously decided to resign from the post of Post Graduate (PG) guideship.

A total of 160 medical teachers of GMCH have resigned from the PG guideship due to non-fulfilment of their demands by the Medical Education Ministry.

The letter reads, “All the medical teachers toiled hard during the two waves of COVID-19 at the cost of own health and their family’s. We consulted you and the concerned secretary regarding the allowances and some other demands. You responded positively and constituted a committee," as reported by The North-East Affairs.

"However, despite the submission of the report by the committee in August 2021, no concrete step was taken. As a result, there is a lot of unrest among all medical teachers. Finally, it was unanimously decided to resign from the post of Post Graduate guideship," the letter added.

MSMTA has warned the state government that until they get GR of their allowances within a month, no medical teacher would do Post Graduate teaching and would not sign the thesis. 

Dr Samir Golawar, President of MSMTA, has said that nearly 400 teachers who were selected through Divisional Selection Board (DSB) are working on a contract basis. Despite many assurances given by the minister, these teachers have not been regularised yet. On Wednesday, MSMTA had submitted a memorandum of demands to Acting Dean Dr Raj Gajbhiye.
