| 4 years to complete MDS in GDC Sgr | | Will Lal Singh set things right? | | Early Times Report
Srinagar, Mar 4: The premier Dental Sciences Institution of State is going through a messy state of affairs. The post graduate degree in dentistry that is normally completed in three years, takes 4 years for its completion due to official apathy of the authorities at Government Dental College & Hospital Srinagar. The Dental College & Hospital Srinagar is also going through a mess as the institution has become a cesspool of corruption and authorities have been mute spectators all the years. All the eyes are now focused on Lal Singh who has been allotted the portfolio of Health & Medical Education, will he be able to set this institution right remains a big challenge before him. As per details available twelve post-graduate students are admitted to pursue higher studies I.e Masters in Dental Science (MDS) in the sole government run post-graduate dental institution of the state every year. The selections are directly made by the Board of Professional Entrance Examinations (BOPEE) through Post-Graduate Entrance Test (PGET) every year along with the MD/MS aspirants for various medical colleges in J&K. Common notifications are issued by BOPEE for examination, result, counseling, admission and finally joining for MD/MS courses as well as MD. The selected candidates are supposed to confirm their admissions and ensure their joining before 31st May of every year as per Supreme Court guidelines.
As per reliable information available with Early Times, the stipulated duration for the course is three years within which the entire process of examination and results has to be completed.
Unfortunately, it has become a routine affair for the Dental College Srinagar authorities to deliberately delay the exams of the students pursuing their MDS course which is sheer injustice and their counterparts on the other hand in the Govt. Medical College complete their degrees within the stipulated time.
The MDS 2011 batch which was scheduled ideally to complete their degree by May 2014, has completed their degree in January 2015 which reflects the academic situation in this premier government institution.
"The reason of the delay in conducting the MDS examination is best known to Principal, Government Dental College, Srinagar and concerned university authorities. This delay in the examination had caused mental agony and depression amongst the students besides wasting their precious time" said a MDS student without disclosing his name while he spoke to Early Times.
Pertinently the Government Dental College & Hospital Srinagar in recent past has remained in news as the top officials of the college were indicted by the State Vigilance Organisation (SVO) for causing loss amounting to several lakhs of rupees to the state exchequer as they had purchased several dental equipments on much exorbitant rates. "We appeal Chowdhary Lal Singh to intervene as he is considered to be a very strong Minister and has a good experience to deal with Health & Medical education department as he has headed this department as Minister in the past as well," said Fayaz Ahmad a patient at GDC Srinagar from Baramulla Srinagar. |
