The Employees State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) has decided to shut down all its medical, dental and nursing teaching institutions. While, ESIC is shutting down approximately 400 institutions across India, the students and the faculty are fearing the repercussion of this decision.
A.K Agrawal, Director General of ESIC said, "ESIC should exit the field of medical education entirely and the regular teaching faculty recruited will be given an option of utilizing their services in the ESIC in a non teaching role."
The Medical students of the ESIC, medical students from Delhi, Indian Medical Association, students from Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) and Delhi University (DU), organised a protest outside the Constitution Club in New Delhi on February 18. The students demanded for the continuation of admissions and academic sessions. The students also demanded for the renewal of permissions, validation and recognition of the degree and faculty experience
Dr. Sayantan Banerjee said, "The two main reasons that the government is giving for the shutdown of medical colleges are the lack of funds and that the medical education does not serve the core functioning of the ESI Corporation," India Today.
