Shimla, March 31 Himachal Pradesh Governor Kavinder Gupta has issued a notification on Tuesday establishing a common cadre system for faculty members of all newly established government medical colleges in the state.
The faculty members include professors, associate professors, and assistant professors at the Dr Yashwant Singh Parmar Government Medical College in Nahan, the Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri Government Medical College in Mandi, the Dr Radhakrishnan Government Medical College in Hamirpur, and the Pt Jawahar Lal Nehru Government Medical College in Chamba.
The move aims to standardize faculty requirements and optimize faculty utilization, ensuring transparent career progression, according to the notification.
It has set new terms and conditions for the implementation of the 'Common Cadre System' in the newly opened medical colleges of the state.
The move has been taken to ensure uniformity in recruitment, appointment, promotion, and career progression, to harmonize service conditions, and to facilitate equitable and need-based transfers of faculty across institutions, thereby eliminating disparities and promoting efficient human resource management, the government said.
Faculty members posted in the new institutes will not be transferred to established institutions, namely IGMC Shimla, AIMSS Chamiana, and Rajendra Prasad Government Medical College in Tanda, to ensure the stabilization and optimal functioning of the newly established medical colleges.
