NMC does U-turn on penalising colleges for not paying stipends
The National Medical Commission (NMC) has shifted responsibility for enforcing stipend payments to MBBS interns and post-graduate medical students to state authorities, despite having extensive penal powers. This follows a Supreme Court mandate for medical colleges to pay stipends and recent advisories and show cause notices from the NMC. Many colleges are failing to comply.
