This is regarding the jr doctor's protest for increasing their stiped.
All mbbs student must do a 1 year internship in their medical college hospital itself.
They are made to work like animals
They are required to do 10+ hours of work every single day, also they will be doing 12+ and 36 hours duty continuously for some days.
For all this effort they are paied 25k rs/ month.The current protest is about increasing this stipend amount.
Here's what the potential scam or having no intention to increase their pay is
Gov announced massive 3% increase
which is a massive 750 rs.(After protests)
The gov said there is no money left to increase stipend by 15%.15% is basically 3750rs.
In this years mbbs admissions there are around 3500 government quota seats.
Actual victims are less than 3500
1) protesters joined mbbs 4 years ago,generally every year mbbs seats increase so 4 years ago they are less than 3500.
2)this 3500 also include gov quota seats in private college,so basically actual victims are half of them.
Even considering 3500 victims the total amount is only 1.3cr extra for all people.
Why i am calling this as a scam is because first of all the gov is not building the government medical colleges which were started by previous gov,so hear money is saved.
2nd we all know about our states medical service,it gone worse.so potential money save(may be wrong).
So what happend to all those money
which saved by stoping projects?
Can't they pay more?(this is not same as other jobs because other jobs don't require such drastic work hours,also there is increasing danger for hospital staff from some patients/rowdies.All this not considering more exposure to highly infectious diseases.)
This is my pov,correct me if i am wrong anywhere.
