National Doctors Decry ‘Unjust Selection Order’ For Registrars And Faculty

[ad_1]
SRINAGAR: The Jammu and Kashmir Health and Medical Education Department Civil Secretariat has issued a new government order on the selection criteria for engagement of faculty and other positions in all government medical colleges and government dental colleges of J&K. The new criteria have been formulated by a committee of principals from all government medical and dental colleges and have been accepted by the administrative department.
The new selection criteria, issued under Government Order No.282-JK (HME) of 2023, dated April 4, 2023, are applicable for engagement on faculty posts, including Professor, Associate Professor, Assistant Professor/Lecturers, and Registrars/Demonstrators/ Tutors in all Government Medical Colleges and Government Dental Colleges of J&K.
The assessment criteria for selection for the post of Professor have been divided into three categories. The first category includes academic qualifications, with 50 points allotted on a pro-rata basis concerning marks in MBBS/BDS. The second category covers special attributes, such as teaching experience as Professor/Associate Professor in government-recognized institutions. The weightage for teaching experience will be calculated at one point for every completed quarter year beyond the basis of eligible teaching experience. The third category relates to research publications, with at least four publications required, including two as Associate Professors.
However, the new government order has received criticism from doctors from national medical colleges across India. In response to the order, doctors have demanded an unambiguous equivalence to the scoring system to equate the marks or percentage of MBBS, or the implementation of a true competitive examination in the form of MCQs, to be put in place for these posts.
“The Criteria of including MBBS Marks on the selection of Registrar & Consultants is highly impractical. This undermines all the extra qualifications & research work by Doctors applying for the job,” stated the FAIMA Doctors Association.
The spokesperson for Resident Doctors Association GMC Srinagar has released a statement calling for the government of the union territory of J&K and its policy-making bodies to reconsider the decision and revoke the unjust order.
The doctors have expressed concern that subjecting marks percentages from different evaluation systems to compete under a single umbrella will create an unjust and unethical platform for future recruitments of Registrars, leading to alarming repercussions and sidelining of genuine competitors. “It has been highlighted that there are differences in grading practices between universities and countries, which is the main reason for the discrepancy in MBBS marks.
In light of this, there have been calls for a standardized MCQ paper to be used as the main criteria for selecting candidates for registrarship, medical officer, and other faculty positions,” said a doctor from a national medical college.

The doctors have implored the government to take immediate action to rectify the situation and ensure that future recruitments are based on a fair and just system. It is unfair to rely solely on MBBS marks as the main criteria for selection, given the variability in grading practices. A standardized MCQ paper would be a more objective and fair way to evaluate candidates for these positions.
This new government order has been deemed unjust and discriminatory towards the doctors who have trained at national medical colleges. They have demanded that the government take immediate action to rectify the situation and ensure that future recruitments are based on a fair and just system.

JK Demotes Officer After Inquiry Establishes Violations

[ad_1]
SRINAGAR: The Jammu & Kashmir government has demoted a retired officer from the date he was placed as in-charge Deputy Superintendent of Police (DySP) after an inquiry established that there were building plan and master plan violations during his stint with the Lakes & Waterways Development Authority, which has been renamed as the Lake Conservation and Management Authority (LCMA).
In an order, the J&K Home department has imposed a penalty of “reduction to a lower post” on Shah Sikander, the in-charge DySP (now retired).
The Home department’s order states that Shah Sikander, the in-charge DySP, is demoted to the post of inspector with effect from 20.07.2012, the date he was placed as in-charge DySP.
Sikander, the then enforcement officer of Lake and Waterways Development Authority (LAWDA), was arrested by the State Vigilance Organisation on March 14, 2017, in a case registered against him in 2015 for violations in peripheral areas of Dal Lake.
According to the order, Sikander was served with a charge sheet on June 21, 2017, for not submitting a written statement of defence within a period of 21 days.
He submitted his statement on September 25, 2017, and refuted all the charges.
As per the order, the response submitted by the officer was found unsatisfactory, and accordingly, it was decided that the charges were required to be thoroughly investigated.
On January 01, 2018, the government appointed an inquiry officer to probe the charges against him.

In the report, the inquiry officer established that there was a violation of building permission norms and instances of illegal construction around the Dal Lake during his posting with LAWDA (now LCMA).
“The competent authority decided to impose the penalty of ‘reduction in rank’ for violating J&K Government Employees (Conduct) Rules, 1971,” reads the order. (KNO)
