PGI governing body meeting: 2 nominated members from institute yet to be finalised
Hindustan TimesThe Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Chandigarh, is yet to finalise two faculty members who are to be nominated members in the meeting of the governing body, which is responsible for approving all functioning-related agendas of the institute. Even though just five days are left for the governing body meeting, which is scheduled for April 10, two out of the total four representatives from the institute are yet to be included in the body. The PGIMER’s official website indicates that the two senior faculty positions for the governing body are still vacant, and PGI is yet to make a decision on these appointments. Not inviting designated members of the governing body, as defined in the PGI Act would not only be unprecedented, but also unconstitutional,” said a former PGIMER director, adding that the doctors must be nominated, and the meeting can be held without the members only if they choose to mark their absence.
