Resolution seeks review of NMC decision on Mata Vaishno Devi College
A politician named Tanvir Sadiq has asked the government to look again at a decision that took away permission for a medical college to teach MBBS.
The college, Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Medical College, lost its permission because it didn't meet all the rules and had some problems with teachers and buildings.
Some groups protested because many non-Hindu students were admitted.
The politician wants the government to check again and fix any problems so the college can continue teaching MBBS.
The college was made to help people in Jammu and Kashmir and was built with public money.
Tanvir Sadiq, a National Conference MLA, submitted a resolution in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly to review the NMC's decision to revoke the Letter of Permission for the MBBS course at Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Medical College.
The NMC revoked the permission due to non-compliance with minimum standards and deficiencies in faculty, clinical material, and infrastructure.
Protests by right-wing outfits were sparked by the admission of a large number of non-Hindu candidates to the MBBS course.
The resolution seeks a fair and transparent reassessment and restoration of the MBBS course in the public interest.
The college was established to meet the healthcare and medical education needs of Jammu and Kashmir with substantial public funding and infrastructure support.
