Uttar Pradesh govt to create 10K new posts in medical universities, colleges
Uttar Pradesh Cabinet approved creating around 10,000 teaching and non-teaching posts in the state's medical universities, colleges and institutes.
Uttar Pradesh Cabinet has approved the recommendations of an expert committee which will lead to the creation of as many as 10,000 teaching and non-teaching posts for the smooth running of graduate, post-graduate and super speciality courses in the medical universities colleges and institutes of the state.
UP’s Finance Minister Suresh Kumar Khanna said that acting on the recommendations of the expert committee, the government decided to create 10,000 academic and non-academic posts, as reported by Daily Pioneer.
The decision to implement the new norms would lead to the creation of 10,000 additional posts and it would incur an additional expenditure of INR 921.65 crore per annum, he added, as reported by Hindustan Times.
New norms have been devised keeping in view the number of seats in any course and the number of beds in hospitals. The new posts will be created in accordance with new guidelines following the approval of chief minister Yogi Adityanath who presided over the meeting of the cabinet that approved the new norms to ensure bare minimum human resources in the medical institutions, in accordance with the standards set by the Medical Council of India (MCI) and the National Medical Commission (NMC).
At present, 60% of the sanctioned posts are filled up in these institutions. So, the creation of new posts will not lead to an additional financial burden immediately and arrangements for the same would be made in a phased manner, stated a press release.
A committee of experts headed by the director-general (medical education and training) had made recommendations for medical institutions running under the control of the state’s medical education department. These medical institues include SGPGI, Lucknow; RMLIMS, Lucknow; KGMU, Lucknow; Kalyan Singh Super Specialty Cancer Institute and Hospital, Lucknow; UP Medical University, Saifai, Etawah and Super Specialty Paediatric Hospital and Post Graduate Teaching Institute, Gautam Buddh Nagar.
