Online plea to change the rule of one year rural posting for medical students

The government decision that medical PG aspirants must serve one year in the rural areas has been challenged by the medical aspirants of 2017 batch.The online petition for the same has been started by the parent of one such graduate student and as of now the petition has received over 1600 signatures. According to the government's decision, it is mandatory for the students-- both graduate and under-graduate-- to serve one year bond service in a hospital which is run by the public health department of the state. Students however, generally skip these postings till later after post-graduation. The main aim of the new rule is to keep this practice in check. A Government Resolution was passed and was issued by Department of Medical Education and Drugs on October 12.According to the GR ' the new rule will be in force for admissions taking place for the 2018-19 academic session. This puts the MBBS graduates of the 2017 batch, who had decided to complete their rural posting after PG, at a disadvantage.'The development comes two months ahead of the NEET PG exam. The petition against the GR was started by Muzaffar Khan.Khan said, “We have asked the government to reconsider its decision. The announcement came very late and my son had already started preparing for NEET. He will lose a year if the rule is to be applied.”The Directorate of Medical Education and Research (DMER) also wrote to the department to amend the GR because service bond does not apply to the graduates of private medical colleges, they will be able to apply for the NEET.Pravin Shinghare, director, DMER, said, “It is true that the GR, as it stands today, favours graduates from private institutes. We have already apprised the department of the matter.”
