| 'H&ME Deptt orders rotational HODs against NMC norms' | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, June 24: Health and Medical Education (HME) Department has issued yet another order regarding adoption of rotational headship in various departments of Government Medical Colleges and Dental Colleges of Jammu and Kashmir.
The order dated 22-06-2023 states that the department with one professor shall continue to be HOD of department and in department with multiple professors the post of HOD will be repeated amongst the professors every two years as per seniority.
Medical teachers of GMC Jammu and Srinagar have expressed their displeasure and resentment on this controversial order as they said that this order is against National medical commission teacher eligibility qualification rules and regulations regulating country medical education.
They said that on 18-11-2021 NMC issued a draft TEQ for country wide comments, wherein they proposed rotary headship for three years amongst the senior most professor.
However, this invited country wide resentment and thus NMC has to drop this idea in the latest TEQ. Issued on 14-02-2002.
The faculty said that, the said order is also against the civil services regulation classification of the officer rule (1) A, where only senior most person can only head the department.
Whereas, original norms of NMC recommend senior most professor to be head of the department.
They said that this order is going to create confusion quas and the indiscipline as well as affect the patient care seriously, further the control of department will be under multiple hand and thus there will be lack of responsibility and accountability on functioning of departments.
Further, the medical teachers said that, it has been order to facilitate and favor few of the faculty members who otherwise would have never been head of department based on their seniority both at GMC Jammu and Srinagar.
They further said this order shall be injustice for those who are not holding the post of professors on account of non-availability of professors despite their eligibility.
Finally they said that it is not following the law of equivalence as should have been uniform in application for all the departments.
Medical teachers said that we express our strong displeasure and resentment on said order where no one was taken into consideration including principal medical colleges of all medical colleges. |
