13th and 14th June,2014

41 Minutes of the meeting of the TEQ Committee held on 2nd May,2014

The Executive Committee of the Council decided to defer the consideration of the matter.

The Executive Committee of the Council noted that due to non submission of minutes in proper format, the TEQ minutes could not be considered and in this regard a Memorandum has been issued to the concerned Section Incharge.

4. Regarding working the modalities recognizing teaching hospital of AFMS –

report of Sub Committee. Read: the matter with regard to working the modalities recognizing teaching hospital of AFMS – report of Sub Committee. The Executive Committee of the Council noted that a Sub-Committee had been constituted on 3rd June, 2014 and perused the following report of the Sub-Committee dated 14.06.2014:- S.No. Issue Remarks of the Sub-

Committee 1. Recognition of teaching experience of

AFMS hospital faculty – The Armed Forces medical services have represented to Medical Council of India that

a) These hospitals are not regular teaching hospitals.

b) Each hospital needs to be

all the faculty members working in 31 institutions be considered as teaching faculty even though they are not medical colleges or postgraduate institutes. The reason they have requested is that they are transferred every three years in these institutions. No faculty can be permanently be stationed in one Armed Forces Medical Hospitals. At present some of these hospitals (5) have been recognized for PG courses.

assessed by MCI assessors whether they can be converted to medical colleges or teaching hospitals.

c) The Executive Committee has to take a decision whether in an institution without UG/PG courses can be considered as teaching experience.

2. Recognition of internship training at AFMS Hospitals – Earlier some of these hospitals have been granted recognition of internship training, which was later removed by the MCI. Now they are asking for once again recognition of internship training at AFMS hospitals.

It has to be brought out from office records why and when the recognition status was cancelled to AFMS hospitals. Then only further recognition can be considered.

3. Starting of MC(Sports Medicine) course – The AFMS hospitals have diploma courses in Sports Medicine. They also have attached Sports facilities in number of fields. They have been awarding diploma in Sports Medicine for many years. Now they want to start MD (Sports Medicine). In this regard they have requested that the diploma holders be considered as teaching faculty without insisting upon degree as these people have worked in the department for more than 15 years and new course is being started.

Issue of granting faculty status to diploma holders is a policy decision. The issue has to be referred to PG Committee. Also whether while starting a new course someone with 15 years of experience can be considered as faculty without a degree.

4. Conversion of Command Hospitals into medical colleges – The AFMS have requested that there hospitals are located in major towns and cities. They have a lot of infrastructure manpower and equipments. In this connection they have requested that 10 of their hospitals may be converted to medical colleges. They have requested the Medical Council of India to recommend to Govt. of India the feasibility and also necessary finances for conversion.

a) Nearly 10 medical AFMS units are located in cities which can be considered to convert into medical colleges. b) The MCI needs to appoint a Sub-Committee with Assessors to assess these locations on the feasibility of MSR of MCI. c) Regarding recommendation to Govt. of India, they are asking for funding to construct the colleges from exchequers money. In this regard, it can be considered to recommend provided 50% of the seats to general public of the local state in convener quota. d) These hospitals must be permitted to allow civilian population to be treated in them. Then only good experience and material will be available in the institutions. e) If they are willing for the above two conditions, after assessing the MSR, the Executive Committee has to take a decision to recommend to Govt. of India for funding.

On going through the above report in detail, the Executive Committee of the Council observed the following pointwise:- 1. Regarding recognition of teaching experience of AFMS Hospital faculty, it was

decided that Army hospitals which are affiliated to medical colleges (i.e. AFMC, Pune; ACMS, Delhi) or where PG courses permitted by MCI are run, can be recognized as teaching hospitals straightaway. With regard to other hospitals, the authorities may apply for starting UG/PG courses and upon receipt of such applications, appropriate decision will be taken after assessing facilities of teaching faculty & infrastructure.

2. Regarding recognition of internship training at AFMS Hospitals, the Executive

Committee noted that as per the present practice, internship is permitted only in those hospitals which are attached to medical colleges and institutes running PG courses.

3. Regarding starting of MD (Sports Medicine) course, the Committee observed that

at present Academic qualifications & teaching experience required for faculty posts have already been prescribed under T.E.Q. Regulations which being Statutory Regulations are mandatory & binding in character. In view of this, the request for relaxation cannot be granted.

4. Regarding conversion of Command Hospitals into medical colleges, the

Committee noted that it is beyond the purview of MCI as it is a regulatory body. The decision has to be taken jointly by Ministry of Defence. The role of MCI comes into play only after the applications are made to the Ministry of Health & family Welfare, Govt. of India.

Note: The Executive Committee of the Council further decided that the matter with

regard to eligibility of Consultants/Specialists as UG teachers where medical colleges are being opened in association with District Hospital as well as eligibility of GDMO’s as UG teachers be referred to TEQ Sub-Committee.

5. Clarification submitted by MNR Medical College, Sangareddy regarding Dr.

D. Aruna, Sr. Resident at Malla Reddy Institute of Medical Sciences, Suraram, Hyderabad.

Read: the matter with regard to clarification submitted by MNR Medical College, Sangareddy regarding Dr. D. Aruna, Sr. Resident at Malla Reddy Institute of Medical Sciences, Suraram, Hyderabad. The Executive Committee of the Council considered the matter at length and noted the submissions made by the Principal, MNR Medical College, Sangareddy who appeared personally in the Council Office on 8th July, 2014 :-

“(i) After my retirement from Government service, I joined as Principal at MNR Medical College in the month of January, 2014 and since then I am discharging my duties as Principal, MNR Medical College, Sangareddy. (ii) Previous to me, Dr. Chandrakant Shiroli worked as the Principal for MNR Medical College. Presently, Dr. Chandrakant Shiroli is working as Dean/Principal of Malla Reddy Institute of Medical Sciences. (iii) Due to acute Gastroenteritis I am not keeping well for quite some time. (iv) On 21-06-2014, a letter dated 18-06-2014 issued from your good office was placed before me by the office staff, whereunder it was mentioned that an assessment was carried out by the MCI assessors at Malla Reddy Institute of Medical Sciences, Suraram, Hyderabad and Dr. D. Aruna has presented herself as Senior Resident in Medicine, where she produced a photocopy of Experience Certificate, dated 31-07-2008 which was said to have been issued by the Principal, MNR Medical College to the effect that Dr. D. Aruna had worked as Junior Resident in the department of General Medicine from 01-08-2005 to 31-07-2008. She also was said to have produced a copy of letter dated 01-08-2008 showing the same experience.

Page 5: No. MCI-5(2)/2014-Med.Misc./ MEDICAL COUNCIL … COUNCIL OF INDIA NEW DELHI EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE ... General Medicine, ... 10, Gulistan Colony, Lucknow

In this regard, I was asked to confirm as to whether Dr. D. Aruna has worked at

MNR Medical College and if so to provide the details of her experience and also to confirm whether both the Experience Certificates submitted by Dr. D. Aruna was issued from your office.

(v) Dr. Chandrakant Shiroli (Ex-Principal of MNR Medical College & Presently Principal of Mallareddy Institute of Medical Sciences, Suraram, Hyderabad came to my office on 21.06.2014 and produced the copies of the said experience letters of Dr. Aruna dated 31-07-2008 and 1-8-2008 and he stated that recently MCI assessment was held at their college and the assessors questioned the authentication of the experience certificate of Dr. D. Aruna. Since I am the present Principal he wanted me to clarify and attest the said certificate. He also enquired as to whether we received any letter from Medical Council of India regarding the said issue. I informed him that a letter was issued by the MCI and I instructed the staff for verification of the details from old records. For the Dr. Chandrakant Shiroli informed me that he was aware of Dr. D. Aruna and he himself issued those two letters during his tenure as Principal of MNR Medical College and asked me to endorse on the Experience Letter and there is no necessity for verification of old records. Since he was the then Principal of MNR Medical College, who issued those Experience Letters, believing his words, I endorsed on the copy of the experience letters produced by him. Since I am not keeping well, Dr. Chandrakant Shiroli prepared the reply to the letter dated 18-06-2014 issued from your good office, confirming the said experience letters of Dr. D. Aruna which are said to have issued by him only. Since Dr. Chandrakant Shiroli is the person who issued the Experience Letters of Dr. D. Aruna, confirmed the issuance of the said letters, believing him, I signed the clarification letter dated 21-06-2014 to your letter dated 18-06-2014 without verifying the official service records of Dr. Aruna. (vi) Thereafter on 22-06-2014, Dr. Chandrakant Shiroli as the Dean/Principal of Malla Reddy Institute of Medical Sciences, issued a letter, requesting to confirm the above details as they need to send the same to your good office. Hence I issued a letter dated 23-06-2014 confirming the said details of Dr. D. Aruna as I have already issued the clarification letter dated 21-06-2014 basing on the confirmation given by Dr. Chandrakant Shiroli. (vii) After receiving the letter dated 21-06-2014 by your good office, a letter dated 02-07-2014 under reference 4th cited was issued from your good office, requesting me to come personally to the Council office on 4-7-2014 at 11.00 am positively along with original office records in respect of Dr. D. Aruna, Junior Resident i.e. Appointment letter, Joining Letter, Bank Salary Statement/Form 16 and the other available relevant documents. (viii) In view of my health condition, I was on leave from 3-7-2014 to 7-07-2014, since I applied for leave for the said period the Incharge Principal communicated a letter dated 3-7-2014 under reference 5th cited, to your good office informing the fact of my non-availability and thereafter an E-mail dated 4/7/2014 was received from your good office under reference 6th cited, calling me to come to the Council office personally on 8/7/2014 along with the documents of Dr. D. Aruna. (ix) After receiving the letter dated 2/7/2014 under reference 4th cited, since I was on leave, I was informed by my office staff on 3/7/2014 regarding the request for personal appearances and also production of records of Dr. D. Aruna by your good office. Immediately I informed the In-charge Principal to inform the fact of my non-availability to your good office and to verify the original service records during the period 2005-2008 and identify the service particulars of Dr. D. Aruna. (x) Surprisingly, it came to my notice that Dr. D. Aruna never worked at MNR Medical College at any point of time particularly from 1/8/2005 to 31/7/2008. On verification of the entire records, we realized that Dr. D. Aruna never worked at MNR Medical College and Dr. Chandrakant Shiroli for the reasons best known to him issued Experience Certificate dated 31/7/2008 and the subsequent letter dated 1/8/2008 as if Dr. D. Aruna worked at MNR Medical College as Jr. Resident in the department of General Medicine. Dr. Chandrakant Shiroli without the knowledge of the management of MNR Medical College seems to have issued those certificates by misusing the letter head folios and rubber stamp of the college and his position as Principal. He also mislead me and made me to believe that Dr. D. Aruna worked as Jr. Resident at MNR Medical College during 1/8/2005 to 31/7/2008 and obtained Endorsement on the experience certificate and also made me to send confirmation to your good office. Since Dr. Chandrakant Shiroli was the Principal of MNR Medical College before me and in view of my health condition at

that time, innocently believing his words I made the endorsement and correspondence as if Dr. D. Aruna worked at MNR Medical College previously as Junior Resident without even verifying the service records. (xi) in view of the above, I hereby inform you that Dr. D. Aruna did not work as Junior Resident in the Department of General Medicine at any point of time at MNR Medical College and the experience certificate dated 31/7/2008 and the subsequent letter dated 1/8/2008 are the fabricated documents issued by Dr. Chandrakant Shiroli. (xii) the inconvenience caused from my side is only because of believing the words of Dr. Chandrakant Shiroli innocently. I apologize for issuing letter to you based on Dr. Chandrakant Shiroli statements and without verifying the records properly.”

In view of the above submission of the Principal, MNR Medical College, Sangareddy, the Executive Committee of the Council noted that Dr. D. Aruna had not worked as Junior Resident in the Department of General Medicine at any point of time at MNR Medical College and the experience certificate dated 31.07.2008 and subsequent letter dated 1.8.2008 are fabricated documents issued by Dr. Chandrakant Shiroli (Ex-Principal of MNR Medical College & presently Principal of Mallareddy Instt. Of Medical Sciences, Hyderabad).

In view of the statement of Dr. B. Srinivasa Rao, the Executive Committee of the

Council decided to refer the matter to the Ethics Committee of the Council for taking necessary action against the Principal, Dr. B. Srinivasa Rao, MNR Medical College & Hospital, Sangareddy, the Ex-Principal of MNR Medical College & presently Principal of Mallareddy Instt. Of Medical Sciences, Hyderabad Dr. Chandrakant Shiroli and Dr. D. Aruna.

The Executive Committee further decided to recommend to the Central

Government, Ministry of Health & FW for debarring the college from admitting students for two academic years i.e. 2014-15 and 2015-16 in terms of Section 8(3)(1)(d) of Establishment of Medical College Regulations, 1999. Note: The Executive Committee of the Council decided that all the decisions taken by

the Ethics Committee with regard to cancellation of license of erring medical practitioners should also be published in local newspapers of the State where the medical practitioner is registered apart from National newspaper.

6. Requests for upgradation of Regional Centre as Nodal Centre. Read: the matter with regard to requests for upgradation of Regional Centre as Nodal Centre.

The Executive Committee of the Council noted that the Academic Cell has received request from Principal, Andhra Medical College, Visakhapatnam for upgradation of the Regional Centre as a Nodal Centre to conduct the Advance Course in Medical Education.

The Committee further noted that the Expert Group to prepare Guidelines for launching Advance Course by Nodal Centres in Medical Education Technology held on 29th January, 2014 had laid down the following minimal requirements and Criteria for Resource faculty to conduct Advanced Course:

Each Nodal centre should have at least 5 faculty who fit into one of the following criteria:

Degree in medical education Diploma in medical education FAIMER (Foundation for Advancement of International Medical Education

and Research) Fellowship Advanced course in medical education (project based longitudinal course) Five original or review papers on medical education in indexed peer

reviewed journals

Page 7: No. MCI-5(2)/2014-Med.Misc./ MEDICAL COUNCIL … COUNCIL OF INDIA NEW DELHI EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE ... General Medicine, ... 10, Gulistan Colony, Lucknow

7

During the initial transitory period of 3 years the deficient requirement of not more than 20% could be met with by the faculty fulfilling the following criteria:

An education lead who has developed and implemented a national or state level educational programme At each contact session of the Nodal Centre, MCI will depute a National Consultant.

The request submitted by the Principal, Andhra Medical College, Visakhapatnam was examined on the basis of the above criteria for Resource faculty laid down by MCI. The comments are as under:

Andhra Medical College, Visakhapatnam The Institute is an MCI Regional Centre in MET since February 2013 and has

trained, until May 2014, ~ 130 medical college teachers Convener of the Regional Centre, one Resource faculty of the Regional Centre

and one more faculty (not associated with the Regional Centre) have undergone NTTC JIPMER training in 1995 /1998.

The RC proposes to seek help of 03 FAIMER fellows in neighbouring colleges to run the Advance Course, if approved.

In view of above, the Executive Committee of the Council approved the recommendations of the Chairman, Academic Committee recommending that Andhra Medical College, Visakhapatnam does not fulfill the prescribed norms and therefore not recommended.

7. Minutes of the Academic Committee meeting held on 13th May, 2014-

approval of. Read: the matter with regard to minutes of the Academic Committee meeting held on 13th May, 2014. The Executive Committee of the Council approved the minutes of the Academic Committee meeting held on 13th May, 2014 except item no.13 which is as under:

Item No.13: Letter from Dr. K.S. Sriprakash, Vice-Chancellor, Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences, Karnataka on the inclusion of the subject considering all E-Journals and E-Books on par with hard copies of print journals and print books.

The Executive Committee noted that the Regulations are pan India and broadband availability at high speed for efficient downloads quickly is not available at all places where medical colleges are located. Even in Metropolitan cities, uninterrupted internet facility at high speed is not uniformly available. This leads to very slow downloading speed, particularly in the cases of where multiple multicolour diagrams and charts. Frequently, the process has to be abandoned. Even the downloaded file is not complete. Another major hurdle in accepting e Books and eJournals is non availability of full text versions. It is for these reasons that eBooks and eJournals cannot be a substitute for print copies although the number of print copies may be reduced. The Executive Committee decided that the Academic Committee may relook at this item in view of these observations.

8. Minutes of the Registration & Equivalence Committee meeting held on 24th

June, 2014. Read: the matter with regard to minutes of the Registration & Equivalence Committee meeting held on 24th June, 2014. The Executive Committee of the Council approved the minutes of the Registration & Equivalence Committee meeting held on 24th June, 2014 except item no.5 and referred back the same to the REC with the following observations:-

Page 8: No. MCI-5(2)/2014-Med.Misc./ MEDICAL COUNCIL … COUNCIL OF INDIA NEW DELHI EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE ... General Medicine, ... 10, Gulistan Colony, Lucknow

8

(i) Whether the issue of consideration of Indian qualification at par with qualifications like FRCS etc. by Saudi Arabian authorities is within purview of MCI?

(ii) Whether the observations made by the REC Sub-Committee that the Indian degrees are recognized by GMC are factually correct? If so, what are the evidences and documents for the same?

9. Regarding Eligibility Certificate of Sh. Ankit Chaturvedi.-legal matter. Read: the matter with regard to regarding to Eligibility Certificate of Sh. Ankit Chaturvedi. The Executive Committee of the Council reconsidered the matter as directed by the Hon’ble High Court of Allahabad and decided that in view of Graduate Medical Education Regulations, 1997 which being statutory Regulations are mandatory and binding in character, it is not permissible to grant Eligibility Certificate to Shri Ankit Chaturvedi. The Executive Committee further decided to advice the Registration & Equivalence Committee accordingly to consider all such types of cases as per prevailing Regulations only.The Executive Committee of the Council noted the following operative part of the Order of the Hon’ble High Court dated 27.03.2014 in Special Appeal Defective No. 1288 of 2013 – Ankit Chaturvedi vs. Union of India & two others:-

19. In view of the aforesaid discussion, considering the fact that the appellant is now 27 years old and has completed MBBS course and further in view of the fact that in some cases the Board of Governors of Medical Council of India has granted exemption to the applicants for grant of eligibility certificate when they had taken admission at the age of less than 17 years, we dispose of the Special Appeal with directions to the Board of Governors of the Medical Council of India, to reconsider the application of the petititoner appellant for grant of eligibility certificate to allow him to appear in the screening test for registration as medical practitioner in India. 20. The required consideration will be made by the Board of Governors of the Medical Council of India, preferably within a period of three months.

The Executive Committee of the Council also took note of the decision of the erstwhile Board of Governors in supersession of Medical Council of India dated 27.09.2012 whereby the Board had permitted grant of provisional registration on the basis of Eligibility Certificate issued to them. The decision noted that such certificate had been issued to these candidates erroneously by the Council and they had not completed the age of 17 at the time of joining the course. The Executive Committee noted that the Hon’ble Supreme Court in its judgment dated 12.09.2013 in Manohar Lal Sharma Vs. MCI & Ors (WP © No. 590 of 2013) has held as under:

17…. The requirements are statutorily prescribed and, therefore, the Board of Governors has no power to dilute the statutory requirements in the above mentioned Regulations.

The above observations of the Hon’ble Supreme Court were made in context of Regulations enacted by the Council with prior approval of the Central Government under section 33 of the Indian Medical Council Act,1956. The Eligibility Requirement for taking admission in an Undergraduate Medical Course in a Foreign Medical Institution Regulations, 2002 has been enacted by the Council under section 33 of the Act. Clause 8 of the Eligibility Regulations prescribes as under:- 8. The Council shall consider the application for Eligibility Certificate and verify the following details as per Regulations of the Council – (i) Whether the candidate fulfills the age criterion prescribed by the Council? The Graduate Medical Education Regulations, 1997 lays down that the applicant seeking admission in MBBS course must be 17 years of age on 31st of December in the year in which he is taking admission. The apex court has also held that MCI Regulations are that the Medical Council Regulations have a statutory force and are

Page 9: No. MCI-5(2)/2014-Med.Misc./ MEDICAL COUNCIL … COUNCIL OF INDIA NEW DELHI EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE ... General Medicine, ... 10, Gulistan Colony, Lucknow

9

mandatory. Hence, as the custodian of the Regulations, the Council authorities are duty bound to implement the provisions of the Regulations and no derogation from the requirement of Regulations is permissible. Admittedly, Shri Ankit Chaturvedi at the time of taking admission in Foreign Medical Institution was not of 17 years of age. The Executive Committee of the Council after due deliberations and being conscious of the fact that the applicant has completed MBBS from foreign Medical Institute in view of the statutory requirements and judgment of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in Manohar Lal Sharma’s case that does not permit the Council authorities to relax the requirement of Regulations decided that a regret letter be expeditiously issued referring to the aforesaid reasons to the applicant. 10. Monitoring on Students entry admitted for MBBS and PG courses in

Medical Colleges/Institutions. Read: the matter with regard to regarding to monitoring on Students entry admitted for MBBS and PG courses in Medical Colleges/Institutions.

The Executive Committee of the Council noted that an intranet software was developed to enter the details about the students admitted for MBBS and PG courses in various Medical Colleges/Institutions in order to monitor on the various parameters like excess admission, excess admission under various quota, admission of in-eligible students etc. But the same could not be monitored properly due to non-receipt of information from all Colleges/Institutions in a standard format.

The Committee further noted that online facility may be provided to all the

Medical Colleges/Institutions in order to capture the details of the students admitted for MBBS and PG courses for the year 2014-15 onwards. Separate login-id shall be provided to each Medical Colleges/Institutions. A cutoff date would be 5th October of each year for MBBS courses and 5th June of each year in cases of Postgraduate courses beyond which the Colleges/Institutions will not be allowed to enter the details of the students into Students Entry System for that academic year. Non receipt of this information within stipulated time will reflect on the permission of the Colleges/Institutions. The Executive Committee of the Council approved the proposal prepared by the office with the following modification/addition on the entry screen data: For MBBS course: “Point no. 7 should be read as “Sex: M/F” For PG courses:

“Point no. 5 should be read as “Sex: M/F” Point No. 9 (a) Stipend Paid by the Institute: (b) Stipend Paid by Govt. Institutes The Committee further decided that this decision should be communicated to all medical colleges/institutions by 15.09.2014 by the respective sections and that a dummy run of the programme may be undertaken for few colleges before complete implementation.

11. Order dated 20.06.14 in Case No. 1/1032/13-14 – Guru Dayal Kumar Sinha

Vs. The Chairman, Medical Council of India by the Hon’ble Court of Chief Commissioner for Personal with Disabilities - Reg.

Read: the matter with regard to regarding to Order dated 20.06.14 in Case No. 1/1032/13-14 – Guru Dayal Kumar Sinha Vs. The Chairman, Medical Council of India by the Hon’ble Court of Chief Commissioner for Personal with Disabilities.
