BMC to frame policy to offer incentive to assistant professors on HC directive

Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has been directed by the HC to frame policy to offer incentives to the assistant professors who are serving in its medical colleges and hospitals.A petition regarding this was filed by Medical Professorʼs Welfare Association which was heard by a bench of Justices SC Dharmadhikari and Bharati Dangre.In petition, Medical Professorʼs Welfare Association is seeking time bound promotions and better career progression among other demands.Replying to the petition, the BMC said that it is not opposed to introducing the incentives for the assistant professors and if Maharashtra government introduce such a policy, then they will implement the same for the assistant medical professors working it its colleges and hospitals. In an affidavit submitted in HC, BMC said ' if the Maharashtra government was planning to implement a scheme or policy granting incentives to medical employees, and in case such scheme did not have adequate promotional avenues for the assistant medical professors, then in that case, it was willing to frame an implement a policy of its own. ' The bench however, noted that the corporation can frame its own policy and there is no need to wait for the state policy. “At more places than one, this affidavit says that if the Government of Maharashtra has introduced or is implementing any Policy/scheme so as to grant an incentive or Dynamic Assured Career Progression Scheme, and in the event that promotional avenues are not available, then the Municipal Corporation will frame and implement it,” the bench said.“This means that even if the Assistant Professors in the Corporationʼs medical institutions are stagnating, the BMC will keep waiting for the state's decision,” it said. “Let the Additional Municipal Commissioner (Health) of the BMC frame a scheme and implement it for its own Assistant Professors in its Medical Institutions because it is nobody's case that the MCGM has to wait for the State's decision,” the bench said.The HC further assured that if corporation forms such a scheme, the court will ensure that there are no obstructions from the state government in its implementation.“We expect the state government to play a positive role and not obstruct the implementation of such scheme,” the bench said.
