The Story in Brief
The Telangana Teaching Govt Doctors Association (TTGDA) has taken up pending promotions, Aarogyasri incentives, allowances, pay scales and transfer policy with Director of Medical Education Dr N Vani. The DME assured that pending promotions would be cleared soon and said she would open as many vacancies as possible during counselling. She has already discussed the incentive matter with the health minister.
On the Peripheral Medical College Allowance, she agreed to take it up with the chief minister. The AIIMS pay scale proposal needs more time, while the file on designated professor posts is with the government. The DME identified super-speciality allowance and in-service quota as priority issues and responded positively to demands for a separate transfer policy for teaching faculty and an optional NPA for those recruited from 2023.
The Indian Opinion
The DME’s assurances are welcome, but the real test is in the calendar. Pending promotions have been promised before, and the Aarogyasri incentive file has been with the health minister for months. The separate transfer policy and optional NPA for newer faculty are sound demands, but they will matter only if backed by a government order. Watch for the number of vacancies notified in the next counselling round, that will tell us if the promises are serious or just another round of polite listening.
