The Story in Brief
Cardiologist Dr B. Somaraju has offered to institute a Best Teacher Award at his own expense for Guntur Medical College faculty, during a visit on Thursday. He discussed the proposal with principal Dr N.V. Sundarachari and hospital superintendent. Dr Somaraju praised the college's transformation and stressed encouraging quality teaching.
Dr Sundarachari escorted him through the campus and explained academic facilities. Dr Somaraju, who completed his MD at the college, worked with former President Dr A.P.J. Abdul Kalam on the Kalam-Raju stent. The principal described the visit as a matter of pride.
The Indian Opinion
A private award for a government college is welcome but should not excuse public underfunding of faculty incentives. The real test is whether the state government matches his gesture with higher grants for teacher training and infrastructure. Will Andhra Pradesh's health budget reflect this model, or will one doctor's generosity paper over systemic gaps?
