NMC flags GMC Jammu over CCTV compliance

Srinagar, July 08: The National Medical Commission (NMC) has identified Govt. Medical College (GMC), Jammu among 70 medical colleges across India for failing to comply with mandatory CCTV surveillance and Network Video Recorder (NVR) integration norms, directing immediate compliance with its regulations. The NMC has directed all non-compliant medical colleges and institutions across the country to immediately install CCTV surveillance systems, connect their Network Video Recorders (NVRs) with the NMC Command and Control Centre, and provide live feed access to the Commission. In a communication issued by the NMC's IT Division on July 6, 2026, the Commission stated that medical colleges are mandated under various regulations and advisories to install 25 CCTV cameras at prescribed locations and maintain 30 days of playback footage and share live feeds with the NMC through NVR connectivity. From Jammu and Kashmir, Government Medical College (GMC), Bakshinagar Jammu has figured among the institutions listed as non-compliant in the communication under the UG category. The Commission said that despite continuous follow-up with institutions, several colleges have still not linked their NVR systems with the NMC. Consequently, a list of 70 non-compliant medical colleges, including undergraduate (UG) and postgraduate (PG) institutions, has been made public. Among the institutions named are prominent government medical colleges and hospitals from Delhi, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, Punjab, Odisha, Telangana, and other states. According to the NMC, the CCTV and NVR requirements form part of the UGMSR-2023 regulations, PGMSR-2023 (Amendment) dated February 20, 2026, and MARB Regulations 2023, aimed at strengthening transparency, monitoring, and regulatory oversight in medical education institutions. The commission has directed all listed institutions to comply with the CCTV installation and NVR integration requirements on an immediate basis. The Commission has also provided technical support through its designated email for institutions facing implementation issues. The notice has been forwarded to the Departments of Medical Education and Directorates of Medical Education of all States and Union Territories for further necessary action.

Giving KKR Trials At 14 In Front Of Ganguly Sir And Buchanan Felt Surreal, Says Samson

Kolkata Knight Riders: India wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson has opened up about how it felt surreal for him to give IPL selection trials for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the tender age of 14 in front of legends like former India skipper Sourav Ganguly and John Buchanan. Samson has been out of Indias playing eleven since the Manchester T20I against England, after having endured two low scores in Ireland. But on a trip down the memory lane, Samson, who played for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in IPL 2026, credited his childhood coach Biju George for shaping his early career and opening doors for him to attend KKR trials. After I went on to perform well for Kerala in the Under-13 tournament, Biju sir took me all the way to the Kolkata Knight Riders selection trials when I was just 14 years old. That felt unbelievably surreal for a 14-year-old. Sourav Ganguly sir was the captain of KKR at the time, and John Buchanan was the head coach. I gave my trials in front of them, and based on that performance, they selected me to be a part of the KKR 'B' team during that period. We even got to travel to Sri Lanka for matches with the 'B' team. Biju sir continuously opened doors and created opportunities for us, so the credit for shaping the early stages of my career will always, unconditionally, go to him, he said in an episode of JioStar's 'Superstars'. Samson also threw light on the initial hardships his family faced when they relocated from Delhi to Thiruvananthapuram, including struggle for taking mid-term admission in school. When we left everything behind and moved back to Kerala, we initially couldn't get admission into any school in Trivandrum. We had moved there during the mid-term, so we weren't getting admission anywhere. We tried so many schools, thinking we would go here or there, do this or that, but nobody was ready to admit us. In the end, there was a school called St. Joseph's in Trivandrum. One of my father's friends held a high position there. He asked my father what the matter was, and my dad explained that we weren't getting school admissions. He simply said, 'No problem, get uniforms for the kids the next day and send them straight to school.' Thats how it all began in Trivandrum. On how his father connected with George, currently the head of talent scouting at KKR, Samson said his father Viswanathan making endless phone calls from Delhi to find out about the cricket infrastructure in Kerala helped them very well. While we were still in Delhi, my father used to make endless phone calls to friends in Kerala to find out about the cricket scene there. He didn't know Biju sir at first, but he had a close friend named Ali bhai. He would constantly ask them where he should send me and my brother for cricket training after we moved to Kerala. Ali bhai strongly recommended Biju George sir, saying he was the best coach in Kerala and that he would guide us well. My father agreed. On that very first day, we had a short trial where we faced about 10 balls each, so he could see our natural ability. Within just 10 minutes of watching us bat, Biju sir made up his mind. He immediately sent my brother to play for the Wayanad district team, he said it would be a great opportunity for him. For me, since I was younger, he said I had to wait because my Under-13 matches were coming up, he added. The explosive batter stated that the immense sacrifices made by his parents provided him with the ultimate motivation to succeed in playing cricket from a young age. We loved our routine, morning practice, go to school, rush back, and train again. At that age, it made us feel like we were doing something meaningful. Our peers at school and the academy respected us for it. He immediately sent my brother to play for the Wayanad district team, he said it would be a great opportunity for him. For me, since I was younger, he said I had to wait because my Under-13 matches were coming up, he added. Also Read: Live Cricket Score That is why getting out for 30 or 40 and then going home and telling my dad that I got out for 30 felt a bit heavy. But looking back, that environment brought the best out of me. While my friends played for fun, I walked onto the field with one goal, to make my parents proud and make their sacrifices count. That is what kept me focused at such a young age, he concluded. Article Source: IANS

J&K to revive Overseas Employment Corporation

Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today chaired a high-level review meeting to assess the roadmap for the revival and operationalisation of the Jammu & Kashmir Overseas Employment Corporation Limited (JKOECL) and reviewed J&Ks overseas recruitment facilitation infrastructure, with a focus on creating a robust institutional framework to connect J&Ks skilled youth with global employment opportunities. The meeting reviewed the proposed strategy for reviving JKOECL as the governments nodal recruitment agency for facilitating safe, transparent and market-driven overseas employment. Discussions centred on strengthening institutional mechanisms, expanding international partnerships, enhancing skill development aligned with global standards, and establishing an integrated ecosystem to prepare youth for overseas careers. A detailed presentation by Director Employment J&K Harvinder Singh outlined a phased roadmap for operationalising JKOECL, including the creation of a digital overseas employment portal, partnerships with licensed recruiting agencies, foreign languages and international certification programmes, employer engagement, counselling, pre-departure orientation and post-placement support. The proposed framework seeks to position JKOECL as the nodal agency coordinating with the Ministry of External Affairs, the Protector of Emigration, Indian Missions abroad, skill institutions and licensed recruiting agencies to ensure ethical, transparent and legally compliant overseas recruitment. Protector of Emigration, Chandigarh, Ministry of External Affairs, Yashu Deep Singh, also made a presentation on emigration trends from Jammu & Kashmir, the regions contribution to overseas remittances, and employment opportunities available through Indias labour mobility agreements with several countries. He highlighted sector-wise demand for workers, emerging job roles in global markets, and key challenges affecting overseas migration from J&K, including limited public awareness of legal migration channels, inadequate institutional outreach, dependence on unverified social media information, and the need to develop skills that meet international standards. Reviewing the proposals, the Chief Minister emphasised that the objective should not merely be to facilitate migration but to prepare a globally competitive workforce. We should not only send people abroad; we should send skilled people there. Our focus should be on skilling, he said. The Chief Minister directed the concerned departments to prepare a time-bound implementation plan and convert the proposed pillars into clearly defined, actionable outcomes. He also called for adopting best practices from states such as Kerala and Tamil Nadu, which have successfully institutionalised overseas employment facilitation. Emphasising long-term sustainability, Omar Abdullah directed that the forthcoming Industrial Policy should provide for the establishment of skill development and training institutes to nurture an ecosystem capable of meeting international workforce requirements. He also stressed the need for a complementary industrial policy that encourages greater private sector participation in skill development and employment generation. The meeting was attended by Minister for Education Sakina Itoo, Chief Secretary Atal Dulloo, Additional Chief Secretary to the Chief Minister Dheeraj Gupta, Additional Chief Secretary Finance Shailendra Kumar, Commissioner Secretary School Education Ram Niwas Sharma, Secretary Labour & Employment Rajiv Ranjan, Protector of Emigration, Chandigarh, Ministry of External Affairs, Yashu Deep Singh, Director Employment, Director Skill Development and other senior officers.
