Stipend delay keeps medical interns on strike
Srinagar, Sep 2: The corridors of several medical colleges across Jammu and Kashmir witnessed another day of protest on Wednesday as MBBS and BDS interns continued their strike for the third consecutive day, demanding an increase in their monthly stipend. With white coats replacing workstations and protest slogans echoing outside hospital buildings, the interns have suspended their duties since August 31, bringing attention to what they describe as a years-long delay in revising their remuneration. Every year, hundreds of MBBS and BDS graduates undergo compulsory internship training in government medical colleges. They argue that their stipend remains lower than that offered in several other states and Union Territories. This situation has been created because the authorities have failed to take a decision. It has been three years since the government committee recommended enhancement of the intern stipend, but we are still waiting. The file is still under process. We do not know where it is stuck or when it will finally be signed, said an intern at SKIMS Medical College, Bemina. The interns currently receive around Rs 12,000 per month. The strike has also begun to affect hospital services, with patients bearing the impact of the interns absence from routine duties. Interns have been participating in protests at their respective medical colleges across J&K. The protesting interns pointed to recent decisions in other states to highlight the disparity. They said the Uttar Pradesh Government has increased the monthly stipend for medical interns to Rs 30,000, while J&K interns continue to receive substantially less. This widening disparity underscores a concerning oversight regarding the foundational workforce that sustains critical healthcare infrastructure, the interns said. In 2023, a J&K Government committee recommended increasing the stipend for MBBS and BDS interns from Rs 12,000 to Rs 25,000 per month. In October 2024, interns met the Chief Minister in Srinagar and were assured that there would be no disparity between J&K interns and their counterparts elsewhere in the country. The stipend was last revised in January 2019 during Governors Rule, when it was increased from Rs 4,800 to Rs 12,300 per month. Since then, they said, the amount has remained unchanged for more than seven years despite inflation and rising living expenses. On July 15 last year, Health Minister Sakina Itoo had stated that the stipend would be increased very soon and that the file was under process. The matter was again taken up by the All-India Medical Students Association (AIMSA), which submitted a representation to the Chief Minister on September 9, 2025, seeking intervention. The interns also demanded that the revision of their stipend should not be unnecessarily linked to any increase in MBBS or BDS fees and called for uniform implementation of the revised stipend across all government medical colleges in Jammu and Kashmir. As the protest entered its third day, the interns maintained that their demand was not merely about an increase in monthly remuneration, but about recognising the role they play in keeping the healthcare system running during their compulsory year of training.

UP T20 League: How UPCA Speed Hunt Changed The Life Of Barabanki's Shakti Verma
How UPCA Speed Hunt: From working a private job for 7,000 a month to sharing a dressing room with established Indian Premier League (IPL) stars like Sameer Rizvi, Mohsin Khan, and Karn Sharma, Shakti Vermas rise is one of the most compelling stories of Season 4 of the UP T20 League. Hailing from Barabanki district of Uttar Pradesh, the fast bowler was discovered through the Uttar Pradesh Cricket Associations (UPCA) Speed Hunt, a grassroots talent scouting initiative. He consistently clocked speeds of 138 km/h to top the charts at the Lucknow selection trials, earning a direct ticket to the UPT20 player auction where the Kanpur Superstars secured him for 2,50,000. While the ongoing season has been a challenging one for the Kanpur Superstars, Shakti has already featured in three games, proving that raw talent can thrive when given the right platform. Shaktis journey is rooted in humble beginnings. He is the eldest son of Amar Singh Verma, a local motor mechanic. Despite severe financial constraints, his father supported his cricketing ambitions, often managing to buy expensive season cricket balls for his practice. However, the overall cost of professional cricket nearly forced Shakti out of the game. My father does a normal job as a mechanic, and I am the eldest at home, Shakti shared. Cricket is a very expensive game. I used to do a private job earning 7,000 a month. With that salary, I couldn't buy cricket shoes worth 7,000. My coach, Sarvan Nawab sir, provided all the backing I needed. Whatever cricket I have played, and whatever I achieve in the future, is all because of him. Shakti's entry into formal cricket took time. He started purely on the local tennis ball circuits. When I played tennis ball cricket, boys would tell me I bowled well. A friend took me to my coach. Initially, I wanted to bat, but my coach told me to stick to bowling, and he polished my skills. My seniors like Vipraj Nigam and Shivam bhai also guided me and helped me financially during tough times. The UPCAs decision to keep the Speed Hunt trials entirely free of cost was the crucial turning point for players like Shakti, removing the financial barrier that often keeps rural talent hidden. That free trial was a very big thing for us, Shakti explained. If someone comes from a well-off family, an entry fee of 1,500 is very little for them. But for a normal boy, even 10 is a lot. Because the trials were free, boys like us got a massive boost. If the Speed Hunt happens every year, more boys and better talents will emerge from the bottom. Being picked at the auction for 2.5 Lakh has fundamentally changed his financial reality. The money we get from this platform can be utilised to invest in ourselves, he noted with raw honesty. The amount we received is more than enough for us. For people from normal families, this prize money is huge. Frankly, I had never seen this much money in my life before. That free trial was a very big thing for us, Shakti explained. If someone comes from a well-off family, an entry fee of 1,500 is very little for them. But for a normal boy, even 10 is a lot. Because the trials were free, boys like us got a massive boost. If the Speed Hunt happens every year, more boys and better talents will emerge from the bottom. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories The Speed Hunt gave a chance to new boys who couldn't reach this level otherwise, Shakti said. Players from the grassroots who didn't get opportunities in trophy cricket got a huge platform here. I am very thankful to the UPCA, Rajeev Shukla sir, and Dr. Sanjay Kapoor sir for this initiative. If we do well here, we can even play in the IPL and get international recognition. We can go very far. Article Source: IANS
