In Punjab, the government has increased the fees of government medical colleges by 70 to 80 percent and indirectly prohibited the children of ordinary households to become doctors, because the children of lower-middle-class families cannot pay such hefty fees. The youth wing of the Aam Aadmi Party has decided to encircle Minister OP Soni's Kothi in Amritsar on Wednesday (June 3) over the same issue.
Apart from this, while talking to the media on Monday, Barnala MLA Meet Heyer, General Secretary Dinesh Chadha and Youth President Manjinder Singh Sidhu said that it is surprising that the Vice-Chancellor of Baba Farid Medical University is making a statement that when children in private schools If parents spend lakhs of rupees to study, then they can also pay to become doctors.
Now the government will make doctors who pay hefty fees in private schools. On the other hand, the poor, Dalit and middle-class children studying in government and small schools are not even given the chance to become doctors. Also, he said that in 2010, the fees of MBBS of government colleges was Rs 13 thousand per annum, which after 10 years today has been increased 12 times to Rs 1 lakh 56 thousand per annum. During these years, there was a slight expansion in the salary and stipend of doctors. Rejecting the government's argument, Meet Heyer said that if the medical colleges of neighbouring states Himachal, Haryana, Rajasthan and Delhi can run with very low fees, then why not Punjab.
