Mahendragarh’s MCGM: MBBS Dream Deferred, Protests Erupt
Maharishi Chyawan Government Medical College (MCGM) in Mahendragarh, Haryana, is facing significant hurdles in its launch. The much-anticipated MBBS classes remain delayed, casting a shadow over the aspirations of many.
The primary reason for this delay is a critical shortage of faculty. The college also lacks the crucial National Medical Commission (NMC) approval, a prerequisite for commencing academic sessions.
This oversight has resulted in MCGM’s exclusion from the first round of MBBS counselling, leaving aspiring students in limbo. Local leaders have voiced strong criticism of the state government’s handling of the situation.
Adding to the growing unrest, residents have taken to the streets, staging protests and demanding a renaming of the institution. Their discontent highlights the deep-seated frustration with the ongoing delays.
The situation in Mahendragarh underscores the urgent need for improved planning and execution in establishing new medical colleges. The government must address these issues swiftly to avoid further disillusionment and ensure the provision of quality medical education in the region. Failure to do so could severely impact healthcare access in the years to come.
