Indian students who returned home from Ukraine about three months ago, will sit on a hunger strike along with their parents at Delhi's Jantar Mantar on Sunday so that the Prime Minister looks at their demands and problems.
This demonstration will be for one day and 300 people have been allowed by the police.
The Parents' Association of Ukraine Medical Students (PAUMS) has made it clear that the students and their families will be on hunger strike on Sunday. "The government is now forcing us to agitate. We have been protesting peacefully till now, but if the government does not pay attention to us, then the families will be forced to commit suicide," it said.
Trisha Sagar, who arrived home from Venice, Ukraine, is studying in her second year. "We were brought home under Operation Ganga, we thank the Prime Minister. But if we were to be left like this, then we need not have been called back. If we go to the senior people of the National Medical Commission (NMC) with our demands, they talk inappropriately, we are humiliated," she said.
"We were told, 'you don't deserve to study here, you can't become a doctor here. You didn't go to Ukraine asking us.' We would like to ask them whether their permission is needed while going abroad? Would they not know that we are going there for studies? Then why do they misbehave with us?," Trisha questioned.
In Ukraine, medical studies are completed in six years. After this, the students have to do one year compulsory internship. Then one year supervised internship is also required to be eligible for Foreign Medical Graduate Exam (FMGE) to practice in India and obtain a license. After that one has to qualify the FMG exam.
Ritvik Varshney, who was studying medicine in the fourth year in Kharkiv, Ukraine, told IANS that, "We are now forced to sit on a fast, we are in India for the last three months but so far no decision has been taken from the government's side about our studies. The ministers of the government who had come to receive us had promised that we would ensure your future too."
"So far we have not received any kind of news about our future, if the government gives us a stipulated time, then we should feel a little satisfied. But this has not happened. One of our delegations also went to NMC, but there also we didn't get a satisfactory answer," he stated.
He added, "Students who have just the last few months of study left suddenly had to return home, then they go into depression. We have already submitted our demands to MLAs, MPs and other officials; we have also protested. But now we are forced to sit on hunger strike."
The students and their family members had protested outside the gates of the National Medical Commission central office in Delhi on Friday. Pankaj Dheeraj, national general secretary of PAUMS, said, "We all have been making a demand to the PM for the past two and a half months to provide them future medical education in the country itself, in a peaceful manner. Now the government should take our peaceful protest us seriously."
"On Sunday, medical students from across the country are going to start a 'fast' at Jantar Mantar in Delhi. On the PIL in the Supreme Court also, the Central Government has to file a positive and humanitarian response on June 29," he said.
He added, "Amidst the Ukraine-Russia war disaster, about three months ago, the students returned home after saving their lives, the government helped to bring them here, but now the government will have to think about their further studies. They will have to be provided medical studies in India itself."
The number of students varies in different states of the country -- Delhi has 150 medical students who returned home due to the Ukraine war, Haryana 1,400, Himachal Pradesh 482, Odisha 570, Kerala 3,697, Maharashtra 1,200, Karnataka 760, Uttar Pradesh 2,400, Uttarakhand 280, Bihar 1,050, Gujarat 1,300, Punjab 549, Jharkhand 184 and West Bengal 392.

As many as 350 Medical students, evacuated from war-torn Ukraine stage a protest at Jantar Mantar on Sunday, demanding admission to medical colleges as a one-time measure. The students said that there are about 12,000 students, barring those in their final year and as there are at least 600 medical colleges in the country, each institution needed to accommodate only around 20 students.
Parents' Association of Ukraine Medical Students (PAUMS) president RB Gupta said, "We also held a march at Jantar Mantar. We want the government's help in accommodating our children. My child was studying for the second year in Ivano (Ukrainian city). We are only requesting the government that these children be accommodated as a one-time measure." PAUMS has also written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi in this regard.
"There are 15,000-16,000 (approx.), medical students, out of which around 3,000 are in the final year for whom the NMC (National Medical Commission) has permitted them to complete their internship in India, which is a breath of relief. Now, this leaves us with 12,000 approx. Students to be given admission. There are around 606 medical colleges in India, which means each college will have to accommodate only 20-21 students," the letter read.
"This is an unprecedented war situation which needs extraordinary thinking, steps and solution. We are hopeful that a lenient view shall be taken while taking a decision in regard to accommodating all Ukraine-returned MBBS students and our request may be well taken and acted accordingly. We will be highly obliged," it added.
Thousands of students from India studying in various medical colleges across Ukraine had to abandon their courses and return home after Russian forces launched an offensive against the eastern European country. In April, too, parents of MBBS students had staged a protest at Jantar Mantar demanding the government's intervention in accommodating their children in medical colleges.
In March, a Public Interest Litigation was filed in the Supreme Court seeking directions on the issue of admission and continuation of their studies in India. The plea also sought directions from the Centre to provide a medical subject equivalency orientation programme for such students.
The Indian Medical Association has also recommended to Prime Minister Narendra Modi that such students be accommodated in Indian medical colleges as a one-time measure.
In a letter to Modi on March 4, the IMA had said such students should be permitted to go to Indian medical colleges for the remainder of their MBBS courses through an "appropriate disbursed distribution", but it should not be seen as an increase in the annual intake capacity.

NHL Medical Student Wants To Intern In A GMERS College
TIMES NEWS NETWORK
Ahmedabad : A student of NHL Medical College has approached the Gujarat High Court, challenging the National Medical Commission’s (NMC) new regulations that seek to restrain internships to the college the student was enrolled in for the MBBS course. According to the earlier regulations, MBBS students could take up their one-year mandatory internships with any medical college across the country after completion of four-and-a-half years of studies.
They just needed consent from their own colleges as well as the colleges they were keen on interning at. Petitioner Shruti Gupta wants to pursue an internship with a GMERS college in Vadodara, while she has completed her course from NHL Medical college in Ahmedabad. She approached both the colleges and sought an NOC to this effect but received no response following the NMC’s Compulsory Rotating Medical Internship Regulation-2021.
She made a representation to the NMC and filed a petition in the high court. The student’s advocate Mitul Shelat submitted that the new regulation regarding internship cannot be made applicable in the case of his client because she had taken admission to MBBS much before NMC came out with new internship regulation and the NMC Act itself came into effect. The old regulation permits a student to opt for any medical college in the country for an internship.
After hearing the case, the bench of Chief Justice Aravind Kumar and Justice Ashutosh Shastri remarked that the petition appeared premature because the colleges concerned have not taken any decision on the student’s request. The student should have waited for the response, it said. To this, the lawyer submitted that since there was no response to her request, the student made a representation to NHL Medical College and the NMC. The bench issued a notice to NHL Medical college, asked the petitioner’s advocate to serve a copy of the petition to the college’s lawyer and posted further hearing on Monday

JNU asks canteen owners to clear dues, vacate premises by June 30
JNU asks canteen owners to clear dues, vacate premises by June 30
27.06.2022
New Delhi : The Jawaharlal Nehru University administration has asked owners of several canteens and dhabas at the campus to clear their dues amounting to lakhs of rupees and vacate the varsity premises by June 30, alleging that their shops were allocated “without following due tender procedure”.
In a notice to several canteen owners dated June 22, the varsity's Joint Registrar (Estate) M K Pachauri asked them to clear all the outstanding dues against them within seven days of the issuance of the letter. Baffled shop owners are fearful of losing their livelihoods and are also finding it difficult to arrange the money to pay the dues. According to them, as many as 10 canteens/dhabas/Xerox shops at the campus have been served these notices. The university said the person will be liable for eviction proceedings as per the Public Premises (Eviction of Unauthorised Occupants) Act, 1971 if he fails to comply with the notice. “. . . . is hereby directed to clear the outstanding dues against him within 7 days, from the date of issue of this letter,” the notice read. Speaking to PTI,
JNU Rector Ajay Dubey clarified that the notices have been served to those shop owners who have not paid rent and electricity bills “for a long time”, adding that many shops were not allocated with due procedure. A canteen owner, who has been served a notice, said the administration is asking for Rs 10 lakh as the outstanding rent and electricity bills from him. “I come from a poor economic background.
I and my brother are the only earning members and our livelihood is dependent on this canteen. How can I pay Rs 10 lakh? They should have demanded monthly or annual dues. How can we pay Rs 10 lakh in one go? Even if we pay, there is no guarantee they will let us stay,” said the canteen owner, who did not wish to be named. Protesting against the move, the left-affiliated AISA alleged the administration wants these canteen owners to vacate the premises as they are planning to bring big multinational companies to serve on the campus.

NExT exam to replace NEET-PG from 2023; Read on…
NExT exam to replace NEET-PG from 2023; Read on…
Jun 19, 2022, 03:37 pm IST
New Delhi: The National Exit Test (NExT), a proposed examination for final-year MBBS students in India to obtain a licence to practise, will be held from next year onwards. Only those who pass this new exam would be able to practise allopathic medicine in the country. The exam is planning to be conducted for the candidates who complete their MBBS course in 2023. There will be a mock test beforehand to make the candidates familiar with the examination pattern.
The test will reportedly be conducted by the National Board of Examination. Meanwhile, National Testing Agency too is being considered for this. The officials of the central health ministry said that the planning for the new exam are in the final stages. Besides obtaining the licence to practise for the final year MBBS students, the scores of this test would be considered while preparing the merit list of post-graduate (PG) medical entrance.
With the introduction of NExT, national-level entrance tests like National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test– Post-Graduate (NEET-PG) would cease to exist. This test would be an alternative for the Foreign Medical Graduates Examination, the licensing exam for medical graduates who have completed MBBS courses from foreign universities.
The central government had earlier noted that the admission to the PG courses in many major institutes including All-India Institute of Medical Sciences would be based on the NExT scores. A major advantage is that candidates can attend this exam more than once to improve their rank. The recommendation for NExT was mentioned in the National Medical Commission Act of 2019 passed by the Indian Parliament.
