Dr.Adarsh's reply to Dr.Devdass's message. PMO strikes balance for medical education regulator


very well said, Dr.Devdass sir.I think all of us will agree that vision-2015 is going to be buried only(please refer my additional comments sent to MCI on 7th Feb posted on blog on 8th feb). As PM has announced that nCHCR will take care basically research in medical education and medical education will remain with health we have to tread our path very cautiously. We are very much aware about all the previous efforts done by you and know your capablities. There is a litle bit change in the schedule of meeting i.e.18 and 19. We are eagerly waiting for the outcome of meeting.

PMO strikes balance for medical education regulator
National Commission for Higher Education & Research will be the sole custodian of MBBS courses throughout the country, including syllabus, quality and number of seats in each institute.


Prime Minister's Office has finetuned the solution of right regulator for medical education. It has been decided that while health ministry's National Council for Human Resource in Health (NCHRH) will be the sole regulator for medical education — including all degress like MBBS and MD — the human resource development ministry's National Commission for Higher Education & Research (NCHER) will have a say on medical as well as inter-disciplinary research.

NCHRH will be the sole custodian of MBBS courses throughout the country, including syllabus, quality and number of seats in each institute. A highly placed source in the HRD ministry said, "A solution has been found."

Former Union health secretary K Sujatha Rao told TOI, "We will set the standards of medical education and regulate the norms just like we do now. However, universities will now have the freedom to innovate and be creative in their teaching and start new diverse courses if they like."

HRD and health ministries have been told to rework their respective bills on NCHER and NCHRH.
