No so "NEET"
Steps to improve medical education in India
1. First: Increase the expenditure on Healthcare and Education in India. A GDP of 1 % is woefully inadequate.
2. Nationalize private medical colleges that do not maintain a required standard.
2(a) Increase the remuneration of MCI officials so that they may carry out their duties without being tempted by bribes and so that the quality monitoring of all colleges is of the required standard.
3. Rural Community Level hospitals need to be turned into tertiary care centers and into medical colleges eventually , so that they are able to turn out an increasing number of specialist doctors and thus also increase favourably the doctor: population ratio in under served areas.
4. The pay of doctors working in government institutions must be high with tax exemptions for those working in rural areas.
4(a) The pay of interns should be made equal or at least equal to the starting pay of an IIT graduate / an Engineering graduate with a campus placement. This impetus will encourage them to work sincerely and honestly (as many of them already do).
4(b) Doctors working at PHC levels should be provided with all the basic amenities such as clean living quarters, and a continuous supply of water and electricity. This would help to negate some of the reasons why doctors do not want to go and work in a rural setup. Along with these, they should be assured of a pay equal to that of a doctor working in an urban area.
5.The Ministry of Health should be placed in the hands of doctors who have a degree in Public Health and have had at least 10 years of clinical experience.
6. Standardization of the tuition fees of the remaining private colleges, which have been excelling and maintaining standards, to achieve a balance between affordability for the target student population and financial viability for the colleges themselves.
7. why should reservations be allowed in the critical and hallowed field of medical education? Certain allowances and scholarships may be given to financially underprivileged students irrespective of Caste for admission to MBBS only. Allowing reservations in Postgraduate courses for doctors is not only ridiculous but seriously jeopardizes the health of our country in a direct way. It is clear that such practices are followed to gain favour among the electorate.
8. Allowing the smooth execution of the NEET-UG/PG entrance examinations. Students who are children of Central bank employees and whose parents serve in the Armed Forces do not have a domicile certificate of any state. Moreover the standards of examination differ tremendously from state to state. Why should mediocre students of one state be allowed to do the very same degree refused to better students belonging to another state because it does not have as many colleges? The other points of contention that favour a common entrance test a nationwide standardization and a higher degree of transparency.
8(a) For achieving the goal of a common entrance test at the UG level in order to gain admission into an MBBS course, Education should be struck off the State list, and made a Central subject so that everyone may be educated with a uniform syllabus. On the same note, improvements in public school education must be made so that the requirement of additional, and highly exhaustive coaching classes may be made redundant.
Many more suggestions are welcome.
9. To convert the two year diploma seats offered through md/ms entrance exams and make it into a 3 year MD/MS course.
9(b) to integrate DNB and MD/MS courses ( if they are the same level as the Supreme Court says they are , why do we need different names)

It is Easy or Is it ???
It was that easy...
I went, I protested...
It was that easy.
I went , I marched, I sat down.
I lit candles.
I pleaded for safety of women.
I shouted slogans for stricter laws.
I roared for change in mindset of men towards women.
It was that easy...
I did not hit, I did not slap, I did not barge;
I wasn't unparliamentary.
It was that easy...
But I wasn't strong enough.
I made it easy for hooligans, to "Rape" the Cause !
I wasn't strong enough !
I wasn't resilient enough !
I again underestimated Satan's cunning plans.
I failed...
I failed to stay calm;
I failed to make others around me stay calm;
I let them get violent.
I let them do to us, what they should have been doing all this while,to all those Who were at "it"
But then
I Let it come to this...
Where Was I all these years ?
She would have been safely home, and so would, many others.
I looked on, with my eyes covered in a veneer of deceit.
I slept, so did the society!
I was the electorate, I chose those who were no better than I;
It is I, who has to change.
I need to become strong...
I need to teach my sons and brothers to protect women...
Laws change or they may not.
I need to change!
Wear what they may;
I shouldn't misbehave.
I shouldn't eve-tease.
I shouldn't molest.
I shouldn't Rape.
I disrespect my mother, my sister when I disrespect other women.
I disrespect The Goddess I worship , when I Disrespect other women.
I would have failed My Fundamental Duty, If I didn't Protect HER Fundamental Right
I failed.
But not anymore.
I will stand shoulder to shoulder with the Citizens of this Nation;
I solemnly pledge Myself to Protect Women!
I solemnly Pledge to Protect their dignity!
I Pledge to Act On what I say today.
It is that easy...

Matru Devo Bhava
The Solution is Not a Death Penalty or more stronger laws( definitely a deterrent )
Its Ironical that Women are assaulted, demeaned and raped (also to include female infanticide) in a country where majority of the population worships Women Deities and Goddesses...
Seeds are sown for such heinous crimes, when a Husband abuses his Wife, When a father Mistreats his daughter, When Women of the household are treated like "Help", each time Dowry is taken/given, When a Male friend takes advantage of his female friend...
Laws definitely need a massive revamp, Security needs to increase Manifold, But the root cause of the problem is in each and every household of this country...
To end this i would like to Quote Some wise person ( anonymous) who wrote this... "Women are asked to take care so that they don't get raped, But Men are Not Taught 'Not to Rape'

India today, stands at crossroads. On one side stand the apparent Liberals who constitute the majority. On the other side are the Hard liners, who belong to the power class. They are in conflict. The more the former instigate them, the more draconian become the actions of the latter.
A man who spoke his mind, a man who acted on his beliefs,never fearing repercussions, a man whose death evoked extreme reactions both for and against him, is no more. The irony is that his so called followers attacked a woman who spoke her mind in a statement which although benign, in a way continued the legacy of this man, who is no more. Her right to speech. Whatever it was, it ultimately comes down to a point where i say to myself, 'what if it was me?'
I completely understand what Miss Shaheen wrote on her facebook wall. If i were her friend, i would have clicked the 'like' option too.
The men who attacked her are a disgrace to the name they presume to carry. If they call themselves the warriors of Shiva, if they believe themselves to be the incarnate of Nandi, then their acts do not reflect that. It was a disgraceful and cowardly act, which showed their insecurity regarding the possible weakening of their ideology now that the Tiger is no more. No matter how much i disliked his policies, I loved his charisma and his unflinching love for India.
If the Shivsainiks do get to read this message, i urge them to come and do what they like to me and face the repercussions. And Yes, Leave my family alone.
My name is Sundar.
