&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The public health department has sought chief minister Prithviraj Chavan&#039;s intervention to introduce stringent clauses against medicos who complete their education from state-run or civic hospitals but refuse to serve the mandatory one-year rural stint.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
According to an official, the government was considering not issuing medical registration certificates--which is mandatory for higher studies, pursuing job in any hospital or even for starting a dispensary of their own-to students who fail to comply with the norms.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
To meet the shortfall of doctors, especially in rural areas, the state has made it mandatory for all fresh MBBS graduates to work for a year in the interiors of the state. Every year, around 1,600 MBBS, 1,000 post-graduate and 75 super-specialty doctors pass out of government-run or BMC-managed hospitals. However, only less than 20% opt for rural service. Besides, these students do not even pay the bond amount for violating the norms. Each MBBS student has to pay Rs 10 lakh to the government in case he or she fails to serve in rural areas. Similarly, for PG and super-specialty students, the bond amount is Rs 50 lakh and Rs 2 crore.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Alarmed with the large number of medical students skipping the compulsory one-year service in hospitals at rural areas, public health minister Suresh Shetty has written a letter to Chavan, asking for his intervention.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;Recently, in a state cabinet meetings, there was a discussion on the shortage of doctors and many medicos who skip the mandatory rural stint and do not pay the bond amount,&amp;quot; said a senior government official. &amp;quot;Shetty asked Chavan to call for a meeting of public health and medical education officials,&amp;quot; the official added.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Shetty said, &amp;quot;Chavan has agreed to organize a meeting of all the people concerned.&#039;&#039;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Government officials said the average expenditure incurred by the government per student is around Rs 25 lakh. But the fees that government medical colleges take is not even 10% of the total money spent on a medical student. &amp;quot;Despite the government giving huge discount in medical studies, if medicos fail to do rural service, then government will either have to hike the fees for medical education or think of tightening screws on the students,&amp;quot; the official added.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Meanwhile, a medical student from a government college said, &amp;quot;The government pays the entire amount of fees for the students who secure admission under the reservation quota in private medical colleges. Like us, the private medical college students , too, should be asked to do a similar one-year rural stint.&amp;quot;
&lt;/div&gt;

&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The public health department has sought chief minister Prithviraj Chavan&#039;s intervention to introduce stringent clauses against medicos who complete their education from state-run or civic hospitals but refuse to serve the mandatory one-year rural stint.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
According to an official, the government was considering not issuing medical registration certificates--which is mandatory for higher studies, pursuing job in any hospital or even for starting a dispensary of their own-to students who fail to comply with the norms.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
To meet the shortfall of doctors, especially in rural areas, the state has made it mandatory for all fresh MBBS graduates to work for a year in the interiors of the state. Every year, around 1,600 MBBS, 1,000 post-graduate and 75 super-specialty doctors pass out of government-run or BMC-managed hospitals. However, only less than 20% opt for rural service. Besides, these students do not even pay the bond amount for violating the norms. Each MBBS student has to pay Rs 10 lakh to the government in case he or she fails to serve in rural areas. Similarly, for PG and super-specialty students, the bond amount is Rs 50 lakh and Rs 2 crore.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Alarmed with the large number of medical students skipping the compulsory one-year service in hospitals at rural areas, public health minister Suresh Shetty has written a letter to Chavan, asking for his intervention.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;Recently, in a state cabinet meetings, there was a discussion on the shortage of doctors and many medicos who skip the mandatory rural stint and do not pay the bond amount,&amp;quot; said a senior government official. &amp;quot;Shetty asked Chavan to call for a meeting of public health and medical education officials,&amp;quot; the official added.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Shetty said, &amp;quot;Chavan has agreed to organize a meeting of all the people concerned.&#039;&#039;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Government officials said the average expenditure incurred by the government per student is around Rs 25 lakh. But the fees that government medical colleges take is not even 10% of the total money spent on a medical student. &amp;quot;Despite the government giving huge discount in medical studies, if medicos fail to do rural service, then government will either have to hike the fees for medical education or think of tightening screws on the students,&amp;quot; the official added.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Meanwhile, a medical student from a government college said, &amp;quot;The government pays the entire amount of fees for the students who secure admission under the reservation quota in private medical colleges. Like us, the private medical college students , too, should be asked to do a similar one-year rural stint.&amp;quot;
&lt;/div&gt;

&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The public health department has sought chief minister Prithviraj Chavan&#039;s intervention to introduce stringent clauses against medicos who complete their education from state-run or civic hospitals but refuse to serve the mandatory one-year rural stint.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
According to an official, the government was considering not issuing medical registration certificates--which is mandatory for higher studies, pursuing job in any hospital or even for starting a dispensary of their own-to students who fail to comply with the norms.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
To meet the shortfall of doctors, especially in rural areas, the state has made it mandatory for all fresh MBBS graduates to work for a year in the interiors of the state. Every year, around 1,600 MBBS, 1,000 post-graduate and 75 super-specialty doctors pass out of government-run or BMC-managed hospitals. However, only less than 20% opt for rural service. Besides, these students do not even pay the bond amount for violating the norms. Each MBBS student has to pay Rs 10 lakh to the government in case he or she fails to serve in rural areas. Similarly, for PG and super-specialty students, the bond amount is Rs 50 lakh and Rs 2 crore.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Alarmed with the large number of medical students skipping the compulsory one-year service in hospitals at rural areas, public health minister Suresh Shetty has written a letter to Chavan, asking for his intervention.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;Recently, in a state cabinet meetings, there was a discussion on the shortage of doctors and many medicos who skip the mandatory rural stint and do not pay the bond amount,&amp;quot; said a senior government official. &amp;quot;Shetty asked Chavan to call for a meeting of public health and medical education officials,&amp;quot; the official added.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Shetty said, &amp;quot;Chavan has agreed to organize a meeting of all the people concerned.&#039;&#039;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Government officials said the average expenditure incurred by the government per student is around Rs 25 lakh. But the fees that government medical colleges take is not even 10% of the total money spent on a medical student. &amp;quot;Despite the government giving huge discount in medical studies, if medicos fail to do rural service, then government will either have to hike the fees for medical education or think of tightening screws on the students,&amp;quot; the official added.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Meanwhile, a medical student from a government college said, &amp;quot;The government pays the entire amount of fees for the students who secure admission under the reservation quota in private medical colleges. Like us, the private medical college students , too, should be asked to do a similar one-year rural stint.&amp;quot;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The public health department has sought chief minister Prithviraj Chavan&#039;s intervention to introduce stringent clauses against medicos who complete their education from state-run or civic hospitals but refuse to serve the mandatory one-year rural stint.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
According to an official, the government was considering not issuing medical registration certificates--which is mandatory for higher studies, pursuing job in any hospital or even for starting a dispensary of their own-to students who fail to comply with the norms.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
To meet the shortfall of doctors, especially in rural areas, the state has made it mandatory for all fresh MBBS graduates to work for a year in the interiors of the state. Every year, around 1,600 MBBS, 1,000 post-graduate and 75 super-specialty doctors pass out of government-run or BMC-managed hospitals. However, only less than 20% opt for rural service. Besides, these students do not even pay the bond amount for violating the norms. Each MBBS student has to pay Rs 10 lakh to the government in case he or she fails to serve in rural areas. Similarly, for PG and super-specialty students, the bond amount is Rs 50 lakh and Rs 2 crore.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Alarmed with the large number of medical students skipping the compulsory one-year service in hospitals at rural areas, public health minister Suresh Shetty has written a letter to Chavan, asking for his intervention.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;Recently, in a state cabinet meetings, there was a discussion on the shortage of doctors and many medicos who skip the mandatory rural stint and do not pay the bond amount,&amp;quot; said a senior government official. &amp;quot;Shetty asked Chavan to call for a meeting of public health and medical education officials,&amp;quot; the official added.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Shetty said, &amp;quot;Chavan has agreed to organize a meeting of all the people concerned.&#039;&#039;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Government officials said the average expenditure incurred by the government per student is around Rs 25 lakh. But the fees that government medical colleges take is not even 10% of the total money spent on a medical student. &amp;quot;Despite the government giving huge discount in medical studies, if medicos fail to do rural service, then government will either have to hike the fees for medical education or think of tightening screws on the students,&amp;quot; the official added.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Meanwhile, a medical student from a government college said, &amp;quot;The government pays the entire amount of fees for the students who secure admission under the reservation quota in private medical colleges. Like us, the private medical college students , too, should be asked to do a similar one-year rural stint.&amp;quot;
&lt;/div&gt;

Skipping rural stint may prove dear for medicos

-The Times of India   The public health department has sought chief minister Prithviraj Chavan's intervention to introduce stringent clauses against medicos who complete their education from state-run or civic hospitals but refuse to serve the mandatory one-year rural stint.  According to an official, the government was considering not issuing medical registration certificates--which is mandatory for higher studies, pursuing job in any hospital or even for starting a dispensary of their own-to students who fail to comply with the norms.  To meet the shortfall of doctors, especially in rural areas, the state has made it mandatory for all fresh MBBS graduates to work for a year in the interiors of the state. Every year, around 1,600 MBBS, 1,000 post-graduate and 75 super-specialty doctors pass out of government-run or BMC-managed hospitals. However, only less than 20% opt for rural service. Besides, these students do not even pay the bond amount for violating the norms. Each MBBS student has to pay Rs 10 lakh to the government in case he or she fails to serve in rural areas. Similarly, for PG and super-specialty students, the bond amount is Rs 50 lakh and Rs 2 crore.  Alarmed with the large number of medical students skipping the compulsory one-year service in hospitals at rural areas, public health minister Suresh Shetty has written a letter to Chavan, asking for his intervention.  "Recently, in a state cabinet meetings, there was a discussion on the shortage of doctors and many medicos who skip the mandatory rural stint and do not pay the bond amount," said a senior government official. "Shetty asked Chavan to call for a meeting of public health and medical education officials," the official added.  Shetty said, "Chavan has agreed to organize a meeting of all the people concerned.''  Government officials said the average expenditure incurred by the government per student is around Rs 25 lakh. But the fees that government medical colleges take is not even 10% of the total money spent on a medical student. "Despite the government giving huge discount in medical studies, if medicos fail to do rural service, then government will either have to hike the fees for medical education or think of tightening screws on the students," the official added.  Meanwhile, a medical student from a government college said, "The government pays the entire amount of fees for the students who secure admission under the reservation quota in private medical colleges. Like us, the private medical college students , too, should be asked to do a similar one-year rural stint."
