NMC issues advisory on fraudulent medical colleges

Srinagar, Nov 6: The National Medical Commission (NMC) has cautioned students, parents and public against falling prey to fraudulent medical institutions offering MBBS without obtaining mandatory recognition, approval or permission from the competent regulatory authorities. In an advisory, the NM asked students and parents to verify the authenticity and regulatory status of medical colleges before seeking admission. The commission said it had received information about certain institutions offering medical and allied courses without obtaining the requisite approvals. It warned that students and parents could be misled through advertisements, websites, social media promotions, unauthorised admission offers and false representations made by institutions, agents or intermediaries. The advisory follows directions issued by the Supreme Court of India in an ongoing case titled Ayesha Jain v. Amity University, Noida and Others, in which the court took cognisance of the issue and directed regulatory bodies, including the NMC, to caution students and parents against dealing with educational institutions without first verifying their authenticity. The directions were issued in the context of a reported instance of a purported fake medical college operating from a farmhouse and claiming to offer various courses. In compliance with the court's directions, the NMC has laid down a series of precautions for students and parents to prevent fraudulent admissions and financial losses. The commission has specifically advised MBBS aspirants to check whether a medical college figures in the official list of medical colleges published on the NMC website and whether it has obtained the requisite permission or approval for the relevant academic year. It has clarified that the mere presence of a college in the official list or its previous operation does not automatically mean that it is authorised to admit students. Students have been asked to independently verify the permission status, course and number of approved seats for the relevant academic year through official records of the NMC and its Medical Assessment and Rating Board (MARB). The commission has also warned against relying exclusively on brochures, prospectuses, websites, advertisements, social media posts, purported Letters of Permission, approval letters and certificates circulated by institutions or their representatives. Any doubt regarding the authenticity of such documents, it said, should be clarified directly with the concerned regulatory authority through its official communication channels. On the admission process, the NMC has advised candidates to follow prescribed counselling procedures and verify the institution and seat allotted through the official counselling authority, including the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC), wherever applicable, or the competent State or Union Territory counselling authority. The advisory stresses the need to physically assess the institutional premises and facilities, particularly where colleges make extraordinary claims about medical education, clinical training, hospital infrastructure and admission opportunities. The commission has clarified that the existence of a building, office, website or advertisement alone does not establish that an institution is legally authorised to impart medical education. On financial transactions, students and parents have been advised not to make admission-related payments to unauthorised agents, personal bank accounts or unverified intermediaries. It has further stated that representations made by agents or institutions cannot substitute for verification of statutory permissions and compliance with the prescribed admission procedure. The NMC has also underlined the distinction between different regulatory approvals, clarifying that affiliation, registration, recognition or approval granted by one authority for a particular purpose cannot be construed as permission from the commission to conduct an MBBS course. Requirements of every competent regulatory authority must be independently fulfilled. The advisory further provides for reporting suspected fraudulent institutions, unauthorised MBBS courses, forged permission letters, fraudulent admission offers and misleading representations to the NMC through its official website and communication channels. Such cases may also be brought to the notice of the concerned State or UT Department of Medical Education, competent regulatory authority and local police, as appropriate. Complainants have been advised to preserve advertisements, payment receipts, correspondence, website details and other supporting material while reporting suspected fraud.

Three friends, one mission to give walnuts a new identity

Srinagar, Nov 05: What began as an idea to build something of their own has turned into an effort to give Kashmirs walnuts greater value. Three young friends from Handwara have launched a walnut butter venture, linking local farmers with new markets while creating livelihood opportunities at home. After completing their studies in agriculture, the trio identified as Arfaat Rasool Malik, Raja Shoaib and Mohammad Faizan , initially considered moving outside Kashmir in search of jobs. However, recognising the potential of walnuts grown in the Kupwara district, they decided to establish their own venture and contribute to the local economy. Their startup, Fame Farm, produces walnut butter, a nutritious spread marketed as an omega-3-rich product. With growing awareness about healthy diets and nutrition, their product is gradually reaching customers in different parts of the country. Explaining the idea behind the venture, the founders said walnuts are among the most important cash crops in Kashmir, but farmers often struggle to get fair prices, particularly for broken walnuts. We bring farmers on board and have entered into buy-back arrangements with five farmers. Broken walnuts, which earlier fetched them around Rs 100 to Rs 200 per kilogram, are now purchased at better rates. This helps farmers sustain their livelihoods and manage their orchards, said Arfaat Rasool Malik. The founders said their aim is to build a community around walnut cultivation and ensure that local growers benefit from the value addition of their produce. Walnut is one of the most important cash crops here. We thought of starting something at the grassroots level that could benefit farmers, generate employment for local people and create opportunities for ourselves as well, said Raja Shoaib. The startup purchases walnuts directly from local farmers, reducing their dependence on distant mandis and middlemen. The team is also working with growers in rural Kupwara, guiding them on better cultivation practices, proper tree care and ways to improve the quality of their produce. Apart from supporting farmers, the venture has created employment opportunities, particularly for local women. Employees are involved in handling online orders, billing, packaging and other operations. Mohammad Faizan said the team was focused on taking a locally produced product to wider markets through modern production methods, packaging and digital platforms. The founders said their website and social media platforms have helped them receive orders from outside Jammu and Kashmir, expanding the reach of their walnut-based product. The initiative comes at a time when Jammu and Kashmir remains India's leading walnut-producing region. During 2024-25, India produced over 3.22 lakh metric tonnes of walnuts. Through their venture, Arfaat Rasool Malik, Raja Shoaib and Mohammad Faizan are attempting to connect traditional walnut farming with modern food processing, while creating local employment and better market opportunities for farmers.

Gujarat: 1.7 lakh tonnes of foodgrains reach ration shops before Diwali

Digital Desk | Gandhinagar, Nov 6 (IANS) Gujarat has delivered a total of 1.7 lakh metric tonnes of foodgrains and other essential commodities to Fair Price Shops (FPS) ahead of schedule for November, ensuring that ration beneficiaries receive their monthly entitlement before Diwali. The state Food and Civil Supplies Department began advance distribution arrangements in October to ensure that eligible beneficiaries did not face delays in receiving their allotted ration during the festive period. The initiative was undertaken under the supervision of Food and Civil Supplies Minister Raman Solanki, with the department implementing a special doorstep delivery arrangement to transport foodgrains directly to ration shops. According to the Gujarat State Civil Supplies Corporation, the entire allocation for November this year has been delivered to Fair Price Shops across the state in advance. The shops have also started distributing the commodities to beneficiaries ahead of the scheduled period. Against a total allocation of 68,600 metric tonnes of wheat, 68,503 metric tonnes, or 99.91 per cent, has been delivered to FPS. Similarly, of the 86,252 metric tonnes of rice allocated, 86,170 metric tonnes, accounting for 99.90 per cent, has reached the shops. The delivery of other essential commodities has been completed in full. This includes 5,885 metric tonnes of gram, 5,978 metric tonnes of tur dal and 4,194 metric tonnes of sugar, with 100 per cent of the allocated quantities delivered to Fair Price Shops. To complete the exercise ahead of the festival, operations at the corporation's warehouses continued from early morning until late at night, including on public holidays. The doorstep delivery system was put into operation from October to ensure that the November stock reached ration shops without delay. The department said it is continuing to monitor the distribution process to ensure that no eligible beneficiary in the state is deprived of their entitled foodgrains and essential commodities during Diwali.

Sikh lawmaker Ranjeev Puri prepares to lead Michigan House

Digital Desk | Washington, Nov 6 (IANS) A mass shooting at the Wisconsin Sikh temple connected to his childhood helped persuade Ranjeev Puri to seek public office. Fourteen years later, the son of Indian immigrants is preparing to lead the Michigan House, with a record shaped by gun legislation, protections against hate crimes and bruising partisan battles. Michigan's incoming Democratic House majority chose Puri, 42, as its nominee for Speaker on Thursday. The full Chamber must elect its Speaker when the new Legislature convenes in January. If elected, he would become the first Indian-American and Sikh to hold the position. The nomination marks a rapid ascent from his first election in 2020. His political ambitions took shape during a year marked by both personal grief and professional encouragement. On August 5, 2012, a gunman attacked a Sikh gurdwara in Oak Creek in Wisconsin, killing six worshippers. Puri's parents had helped establish the community, although the family had moved away before the attack. The community had become our family over the years, with our own blood relations staying back in India, he told American Kahani in 2020. Watching people he knew mourn their loved ones brought the violence close, despite the distance. Puri was working on President Barack Obamas re-election campaign. In a later account published by 'New American Leaders', an organisation that trains candidates from immigrant backgrounds, Puri said he spoke with Obama about the shooting and the need for action. My decision to run for office was rooted in that hate crime, he said, linking it to his efforts against bigotry and for tighter gun laws. He also recalled encouragement from Obama after the election. According to Puri's account to American Kahani, the former US President told him: The representation you want starts with you. Puri was born in Racine, Wisconsin, in 1984. His parents had left India in the early 1970s, mortgaging their possessions in Amritsar to finance the move. He studied economics and finance at Ohio State University and earned an MBA from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. His professional experience includes Chrysler, Googles business strategy office and budget and finance work for Obamas campaign. His work also included founding SooFly Entertainment, an organisation promoting South Asian cultural awareness. When he decided to run, his identity became part of his approach to campaigning. He credited 'New American Leaders' with helping him understand that he did not need to shorten his name or Americanise his familys story to seek office. Puri won a Michigan House seat in 2020 from his home in Canton, becoming the state Legislature's first Sikh American. He served as an assistant Democratic Caucus whip in his first term and became majority whip in 2023, when Democrats controlled the Governors office and both legislative chambers. That period gave him an opportunity to translate his concerns about targeted violence into legislation. In 2023, Puri joined Democratic Representatives, Noah Arbit and Kristian Grant, in introducing measures addressing hate crimes and attacks on religious and cultural institutions. Every single person should be able to live their life as their true authentic self without fear, Puri said when the package was introduced. His bill established sentencing guidelines for the new crime of institutional desecration. It became law in December 2023 alongside Arbit's measure creating the offence. After the Michigan State University shooting in 2023, Puri sponsored an extreme risk protection order bill. His House bill passed that chamber but did not itself become law. The enacted measure was a Senate bill sponsored by Democratic Senator Mallory McMorrow. Puri also co-sponsored legislation expanding background checks that became law. When the Democrats lost their House majority in November 2024, he was elected as Minority Leader. In February 2025, he opposed a Republican resolution linking state funding for local governments to cooperation with federal immigration enforcement, calling it irresponsible and reckless. As the son of immigrants, I would also be remiss not to note that America is a nation founded on immigration, he said. His family life brought a separate issue into his legislative work. After his wife, Nidhi, experienced a postpartum heart attack associated with spontaneous coronary artery dissection, Puri introduced a resolution recognising awareness of the condition. The House adopted it in February 2026. Nidhi Puri subsequently spoke to Detroit television station WDIV about her experience and recovery, urging greater awareness. The couple have four young children. Puri also invoked their household when discussing economic pressures during the campaign. Like so many parents across Michigan, my wife Nidhi and I are doing the math at the kitchen table every single month, he said after the August primary. The November election returned Democrats to the House majority and put Puri in line to lead it. Republicans selected Representative Tom Kunse to lead their Caucus, replacing Hall. Kunse offered a potentially less confrontational starting point, saying: Democrats are not the enemy, Michigan Advance reported. Puri said he was willing to work with the new Republican leadership. After two years of accusing Hall of placing political victories ahead of governing, he will face scrutiny over whether he takes a different approach. His stated priorities include household incomes, population growth and the economic pressures facing Michigan families. He has said he wants to avoid spending the Legislature's time on fights over sports participation and restroom access. He also suggested that the new majority should judge itself by results rather than the volume of legislation it passes. I think at times, sometimes it's on the quantity of how many public acts have been passed, but for me, it's the impact of the bills that we do, he told Michigan Advance.

Gujarat govt to clear Rs 7.14 crore sugarcane dues of 850 farmers

Vaghani said the release of the pending payments would help farming families meet their financial needs during the festive season and celebrate Diwali without the burden of unpaid dues.
