Around the year 2001, my family had a departmental store with photostat. A doctor gave some papers for photostat and joined me in gossip. He was applicant for a teaching job at a medical institute nearby. He regretted having worked hard at Patna to acquire DNB. He informed me DNB could be purchased from right source for Rs two lakhs and, through mediators, for Rs six lakhs. I followed that up with my analysis. Almost every colony in Delhi has a medical institute in a tiny floor, imparting graduate course in a paramedical field, claiming to be at par with MBBS. AND there are spacious buildings housing medical councils in AndaPathy, MurgaPathy, LampPathy, BottlePathy, MobilePathy, and with almost all dictionery words before Pathy. Just bribe health ministry and the government would pass a bill on your pathy. And just look at Delhi hospitals. With standard bribing of medical councils and NBE, every hospital in the metro is now a Postgraduate Medical Institute - perhaps several dozens of those. There is perceptible tension between Indian Medical Council and Delhi Medical Council over distribution of bounty.

Maine girgit ki tarah rang badale lekin meri keemat barhtee hi gayee !

Around 1970, medicare was saamraajya of Union Health Minister B Shankranand. He stuffed his followers in ICMR, AIIMS, MCI and all institutions he could lay hands upon. In doing that, he acquired capability to paralyse medicare in case of threat to his post. After stuffing his followers in South Indian Council of Medical Research, South India Institute of Medical Sciences, and a hundred more, he found some senior people remaining. He created National Board of Examination so that his redundant people could draw handsome salaries with nothing to do. The first Controller of Examinations was N Jungalwala. Deputing Academy of Medical Sciences to sell its memberships (MAMS), I failed to make out what N Jungalwala was doing there.
MAMS
People planted by Union Health Minister had no experience and capability of naming the qualification. As editor of the Clinical Reporter, I received inside story from Dr (RN?) Sinha of Patna. He claimed to be key person behind NBE and eliminated just like fly from milk.
In absence of adequate infrastructure, NBE conferred all its powers on Academy of Medical Sciences and recognised its membership as postgraduate qualification. OK, then where was the need to create NBE?
MNAMS
I pointed out to health ministry that MAMS was a recognised postgraduate qualification in ayurvedic medicine. The government had not yet stopped replying to commications from public. In response to my single note, Academy of Medical Sciences was renamed National Academy of Medical Sciences and MAMS renamed as MNAMS. That was the fag end of golden period when every letter was answered. Now just send a note every day to IMC or health ministry for a year and none would be answered.
With time the qualification kept changing. What is there in a name so long as it is constant.
It would be interesting to study the price drop of MAMS, FAMS, MNAMS, FNAMS after divorce from NBE. MCGP and FCGP were floated by Indian Medical Association but those never acquired credibility as postgraduate qualifications.

Following (Shanranand's) footprints on the sand of time...............Castrating MCI.....

I feel choked while someone smokes 20 metres away from me. I change the channel when someone smokes on TV screen. Any sincere attempts to stop smoking should be admired. But not the following :-
1. The Health Minister overlooks smoking by public transport bus crew.
2. The Health Minister overlooks smoking at government/municipal offices - scores of specific instances faxed by me to police commissioner, concerned chairman/commissioner and minister have remained unacknowledged.
3. I doubt if Health Minister has been able to render his adjoining rooms smoke free.
4. Many politicians and staff are known to make fortune from tobacco industry.
Is it really within the domain of health ministry to ban smoking in films and on TV?
OR has the ministry assumed special jurisdiction for specific purpose (EXTORTION)?

Times Of India 04 July 2005 Home-sick Ramadoss overlooks SC norms by Kounteya Sinha/TNN The health ministry under Anbumani Ramadoss seems to be flouting Supreme Court directives and laws to favour medical colleges from Tamil Nadu.
From the time he took over in May 24, 2004, the ministry has been putting pressure on the Medical Council of India - the body responsible for recommending setting up of new medical colleges, increasing of seats, renewal of permission and starting of fresh undergraduate and post-graduate courses - to inspect and recommend, favoured medical colleges in the South, sometimes months after the deadline for subiiiission of recommendations have passed. TOI has copies of several such orders passed by health ministry over the past one year. The SC order, passed on January 12, 2005, clearly states that the schedule for establishment of a new college or to increase intake of students in existing colleges shall be adhered to strictly by all parties, failing which defaulters would be liable to be personally proceeded with.
This is not all. In order to have total control over MCI, Ramadoss has prepared the Indian Medical Council Amendment Bill that makes the health minister all supreme, with the.powor to dissolve the council as and when he wishes. The Bill is.awating Cabinet's approval.
As for regulations pertaining to the establishment of medical colleges, they have been notified in the Gazette of India. According to this, for a new post-graduate course, college would have to submit applications to the Centre between January 1 and 31.
The ministry after scrutinising the application will forward them to the MCI between February 1 and 28. The council will then evaluate and send its recommendation latest by November 15. The ministry will issue the final order by December 15.
In the case of an undergraduate course, the date of application is between August 1 and 30. The Council will receive the applications for approval by September 30 and will have time till June 15 to evaluate. The final Order will be issued by July 15. Minister's kin member of many medical boards by Kounteya Sinha/TNN Recently, the ministry wrote to the Medical Council of India on June 30 asking it to re-evaluate 40 medical colleges, which were given negative recommendations by the Council. The latter was asked to submit its fresh recommendations by July 11, even though the last date was June 15. The favoured colleges are Kilpauk Medical College, Chennai, Government Medical College, Salem, and Government Medical College, Tuticorin.
A senior health ministry official, however, maintained: "We have not been able to keep the deadlines while sending applications to MCI. But what is important is whether we are giving the final order in time or not."
In another incident, the ministry sent a letter to MCI on April 13, 2005, asking it to evaluate Raja Muthiah Medical College in Annamalai, which wanted to increase its seats in PG Diploma courses. The deadline in this case was February 28.
In yet another case, the ministry forwarded the applications received from 12 institutes - three government and nine private medical colleges - to MCI on July 23, 2004. The Council was asked to submit its recommendations by June 28. The list included Government Medical College, Toothukudi, Government Medical College, Asaripallam and Government Medical College, Tirunelveli.
An MCI official said: "We received the request a month after the deadline had passed. What's more shocking was that the ministry expected us to evaluate these 12 institutes in just four days. Each evaluation takes two days. And how were we to reach destinations in Tamil Nadu, Meerut, Mumbai, Azamgarh, Chhattisgarh, Dehra Dun, Indore and Bagalkot to return in time to file our recommendations?"
He added: "Initially we complied with the minister's requests, thinking he was new. Now, it seems to have become a habit specially with medical colleges from the South. It's a clear case of partiality and flouting of an SC order."
Ramadoss has also appointed his sister's father-inlaw Dr A Rajasekharan to all possible medical boards. Rajasekharan has been made chairman of the National Board Of Examinations, chairman of the staff selection committee in charge of appointments in AlIMS, member of governing body of AIIMS and MCI. Ministry officials said Rajasekaran now controls PG medical education of the entire country as he is associated with all the boards that give PG degrees - MCI, NBE and AJIMS.
Refuting the charge, Rajasekaran said: "My credibility is well known. I am on the committees because I am very well known in the fields of urology and andrology and have been head of urology at Madras Medical coilege. What does it have to do with Anbumani's sister Kavitha married to my son Jayganesh? Anyway, MCI has become such a pathetic place that I don't even want to be part Of it.

Hindustan Times 03 July 2005 Ramadoss Aids His Family's Welfare SANCHITA Sharma HEALTH AND Family Welfare Minister Anbumani Ramadoss takes the responsibility of family welfare very seriously. Over the past year, the Health Ministry's nominee, to several important medical boards, has been urologist A. Rajasekaran, whose most important qualificafion seems to be the fact that he is Ramadoss' sister's father-in-law.
Rajasekaran has been made chairman of the National Board of Examinations that grants (read SELLS) the DNB post-graduate degree to doctors, chairman of the staff selection commiittee in charge of staff appointments at AIIMS, and member of the post-graduate committee of the Medical Council of India (MCI)..
"Rajasekaran is now controlling the post-graduate medical education of the entire country as he is associated with all the boards that give (read give OR SELL) PG degrees : MCI, NBE and AIIMS", says a ministry official.
Dr Rajasekaran first appeared on Delhi's medical radar when the PMK joined hands with the BJP in 1998 and PMK's Dalit Ezhumalai became Minister of Health. He promptly appointed Dr Rajasekaran as the government's nominee to the AIlMS' institute body and chairman of the staff selection committee.
When Dr C.P. Thakur took over as Health Minister in 2000 Dr Rajasekaran was removed from the selection committee on charges of "misappropriation in appointments at key positions in AIIMS". He, however, retained his institute member position, because it has a five-year tenure.
At the end of five years, the PMK had become part of the UPA government and Rajasekaran was once again nominated as member of the newly constituted institute body of AIIMS.
This year, the health ministry has also made him a member of the post-graduate committee of the MCI. Incidentally, Rajasekaran had contested the election for President of MCI in 2001 and got only four of the 73 votes. Health minister Anbumani Ramadoss says Rajasekaran is fully qualified for the many posts he holds. "He's a very eminent doctor in the field of urology and andrology and has been the head of Urology at Madras Medical College. Several doctors such as R. A. Mashelkar and Ranjit Roy Chaudhury are also members of several boards, but no one objects to that because they are well known in Delhi. We chose Rajasekaran because we wanted southern India also represented in national bodies", says Ramadoss.

The Creative Minister For a change, I admire every minister involved in scams. They performed and led the country to progress and in the process, made fortunes for themselves. A huge country won't get poorer if a few hundred people siphon away any amount of money. A performer corrupt is more of an asset to the nation than nonperformer. During mid fifties, I was a school student and people used to offer tips (sach of wheat) to patwari, bribe tehsildar and others. I fail to believe that corruption had no roots at top. Common masses felt the ministers were planted from heavens and were only to be worshipped. They never dreamed of corruption at top level. The turning point was Chaudhry Charan Singh - man from masses - becoming prime minister. A thousand people had been his school mates - many more with him at college and still many more, in his company in political internship. This prime minister was not planted from heavens and was "just one of us" - prone to public comments, criticism and questioning.
Around 1979, I saw an advertisement for the post of Assistant Director (P&I), ICMR. I rushed to get the application form. "The post has been CREATED by health minister only for Dr N Medappa - Why do you want to waste your time?", was the suggestion accompanying application form. I applied at least just to get some experience. My attempts to announce the incumbant in newspapers much before actual selection, failed.
Dr B. Satyavathi : Do you think MBBS is sufficient qualification for the post?
I : I was selected for the interview and I am here because I was considered sufficiently qualified. This is editorial post and my writing career has been enviable.
Dr B Satyavathi (laughing) : Hey! Look, what he thinks of himself!
The lady had obviously been planted herself the Medappa way. She failed to realise she was there to judge my merits and not to comments on my views about myself. No one knows where that creature is today. I checked up on internet and rang up ICMR to confirm her initials as "B" or "SV" - she is just not remembered by any one even at ICMR. On the contrary, just type 42316457 in any search engine and the engine would list thousands of websites with my details.
A few months later, I applied for the post of Senior Research Officer (ICMR), Streptococcal Disease Laboratory, Lady Hardinge Medical College - the post had been advertised just to confirm a full time pregnant lady already working there.
Being a freelance researcher, I worked on creativity of the Honourable Union Health Minister. I learnt, with the time he had planted his cadre at Health Ministry, ICMR, AIIMS, hospitals, CGHS - there was still some overflow - he CREATED an organisation, National Board of Examinations to accomodate the redundants. After (deservingly) siphoning away fortunes both as Health Minister and Petroleum Minister, he did not fight an election because of some problem with "reserved" status of his constituency,.
I still hold that he performed and siphoned away well deserved wealth for himself.

May 25, 2004 Postgraduate Medical Education As Kuteer Udyog

Four decades ago some dons in Bihar and Karnataka entered into joint venture to make some fortune from medical education. After mayhem for so long, the undergraduate admission scam has been exposed. People find some thing fishy in mushrooming of medical colleges - concerned investigators just opt to be happy with their share of booty and don't act. The untouched aspect is evolution of postgraduate medical education as kuteer udyog.

MAMS MNAMS DiplomateNBE

DipNBE DNBE DNB

are the qualifications recognised by medical council of India. The last named current version is available as an Admission To Result package costing around Rs two lakhs.

During the remote past, the activity was limited to admission agents and touts in medical associations. Recently, the sytem has been organised more effectively, involving the reputed nonteaching hospitals. Charges of conversion of a small hospital into postgraduate institute is only a matter of guess.

Some other dubious qualifications floated by dons are FCGP and FAMS.

With roots in Bihar and Karnataka, the conspicuous centre of activity is National Board of Examinations.

The nefarious activity can't go on without vested interest of officials of MCI, Health Ministry, Health Directorate and Hospitals
