Shimla, August 27

The State Association of Medical and Dental College Teachers, IGMC, has urged the state government to frame a policy for deputation of faculty members to other medical colleges.

The faculty from the IGMC, Shimla, and medical college, Tanda, is posted on deputation to medical colleges at Chamba, Nahan, Hamirpur and Mandi to ease shortage there ahead of the National Medical Commission’s inspections.

“The faculty should be sent on a rotational basis instead of sending same individuals repeatedly. Besides, the government should frequently recruit faculty in new medical colleges through direct recruitment or promotions to fill vacant posts,” said office-bearers.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
