Himachal Pradesh to Create Unified Faculty Cadre for Medical Colleges

Separator

Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu announced  that the state government has agreed in principle to create a unified cadre for all future faculty appointments in government medical colleges and super-specialty institutions. This decision aims to improve equity, operational efficiency, and the overall quality of medical education and healthcare services in the state.

According to an official statement, Sukhu explained that the current college-specific cadre system for faculty appointments leads to administrative redundancies, inconsistencies in service conditions, and severe faculty shortages, especially in newly established medical colleges.

“To address these challenges, the common cadre system will create a unified structure for faculty recruitment, career progression and inter-institutional transfers, ensuring a fair and transparent framework for faculty management”, he said.

“This initiative will standardise recruitment procedures, training programmes and career advancement opportunities while harmonising service conditions across all government medical institutions",  he added.

The chief minister further said this will allow for better faculty utilisation, ensuring that resources are efficiently allocated where they are needed most.

“The reform also aims to strengthen medical education by eliminating disparities in career growth and fostering a merit-based system for faculty promotions. Additionally, it will enhance the quality of healthcare services, as better-managed institutions will directly contribute to improved patient care”,  said the chief minister. PTI COR KSS KSS
