Indore (Madhya Pradesh): The deans of government medical colleges of Indore, Gwalior, Jabalpur, and Rewa delay in promoting faculty members has proved dear to them as the Medical Education Commissioner has served a show cause notice to them for the same. Moreover, the commissioner has also asked the officials to reply to the show cause notice in three days as to why action must not be taken against them under the sections of Madhya Pradesh Civil Sewa Acharan Niyam 1966.
According to the faculty members their promotions are pending for the last many months but the officials of the medical education department are not paying heed to their demands. “As per the norms, assistant professors should be promoted to the post of associate professor in two years while the associate professors must be promoted to professor after three years. Promotion of many of the faculty members has been pending since August, last year but the officials are not taking appropriate steps for the same,” a faculty member in SSH, Indore, said on the condition of anonymity.
