Stop corruption in Medical Council

Indian Medical Council (IMC) regulates medical education, including the establishment of new medical colleges and the number of students colleges can admit, and has enormous power and is controlled by Indian health minister. Many new private Indian medical colleges have inefficient, unqualified and even non-medical faculty as they come cheap. Political figures are running a large number of colleges and learning centers where no one can question their authority to run education establishments, standards of imparted education and level of facilities provided. By running medical colleges they are making billions from students seeking admission.

MCI presidents are known corrupt characterless individuals who do large scale bungling in medical admissions yearly. Evidence exists on manipulation of inspection records of two medical colleges in Pune and Ghaziabad for granting them recognition and many more in chennai/pondicherry.

Minutes of the council meetings showed that all critical decisions were concentrated in ex MCI president Dr Desai's hands. Dr Bhalla presented details from an income tax raid at Dr Desai's house last year, which showed unexplained receipt of 6.5 million rupees (£95000; $136000) via bank drafts in the names of his wife, daughters, and himself from several people in Delhi.

Supreme court judges in india ruled that Dr Desai had misused his position as president of the Medical Council of India and has directed that Dr Ketan Desai shall cease to hold office of president of the MCI with immediately but still his irongrip on the system remains.

This petition is directed towards the judiciary to stop these antisocial elements. They are not just robbing students and their parents of their hard earned money but also creating good-for-nothing doctors.
