To put an end to the fly-by-night faculty system, the Dental Council of India (DCI) has shot off a circular asking colleges to submit a report on its teaching staff once every three months. Till now, the colleges would send a report annually, just before the DCI inspection. Officials felt that many colleges were 'arranging' the faculty members during inspection and once the colleges got the requisite approvals, the faculty went absconding.
In the latest circular, the DCI officials say, "It has come to the notice of the council that dental colleges, after their recognition of BDS/MDS degrees, are removing their teaching staff abruptly leading to vacant staff positions for considerable time, thereby depriving the students and lowering the teaching standards.
The colleges are hereby directed to maintain full permanent staff strength and infrastructural facility throughout the academic session. All colleges are directed to forward the entire staff position every three months to the council failing which strict action will be initiated as per Dentist Act and regulation."
Mirror had earlier reported how the Medical Council of India (MCI) and DCI inspection teams were duped by many private medical and dental colleges with fictitious staff. MCI is now going in for radio frequency identification cards (RFIDs) for all staff.
