Mahendragarh’s MCGM: MBBS Dreams Deferred Amidst Faculty Crisis, NMC Hurdles
Maharishi Chyawan Government Medical College (MCGM) in Mahendragarh, Haryana, is facing significant hurdles in commencing its MBBS programme. The college’s delayed launch is primarily attributed to a critical shortage of faculty members.
Adding to the woes, MCGM was notably absent from the first round of MBBS counselling, leaving aspiring students in limbo. This omission has fuelled growing discontent among locals.
The lack of National Medical Commission (NMC) approval further compounds the problem, delaying the much-anticipated commencement of classes. This has led to widespread protests and demands for immediate government intervention.
Local leaders have voiced strong criticism of the state government’s handling of the situation, citing a lack of preparedness and planning. The protests have even escalated to demands for a renaming of the institution.
The delay in MCGM’s operationalisation represents a significant setback for healthcare aspirations in the region. The ongoing crisis underscores the urgent need for effective governance and transparent policy implementation in the state’s medical education sector. The future of medical education in Mahendragarh hangs in the balance, demanding immediate and decisive action from the authorities.
