Vasantrao Naik medical college students not getting stipend

Updated on: Tuesday, September 13, 2011

Students pursuing the Diploma of National Board (DNB) and College of Physicians and Surgeons (CPS) courses from the Vasantrao Naik Government Medical College here have not received their stipend for the last two months.
   
Confirming the development, Dean of the Medical College Dr Anant Dongre said that he was handicapped due to paucity of adequate fund allotment from the Government.
   
"Our priority is to pay stipend to our regular resident doctors of the college," he said adding the college would be able to pay the DNB and CPS students their stipend only if the government releases the grant.
   
Meanwhile, the affected students felt hard done.
   
"We work round the clock in the college. How will we feed ourselves if we don't get regular stipend?," a student said.
