MCI: Maximum Corruption of India?

It is a well known fact that Medical Education in India has become a farce today. With mushrooming of Medical Colleges without proper infrastructure and increase in management Quota, one can imagine the quality of the students coming out. This is mainly due to improper functioning of the MCI (Medical Council of India), which is an autonomous body meant to maintain standards in Medical Education and Medical practice.

So when the chief of MCI for 4yrs, Mr Ketan Desai was arrested, it came as no surprise. But what surprised everyone was the unheard of amount the CBI unearthed from his residence….cash of Rs 1500 crores and about 250kg of gold. And we know that this is only the tip of the tree of corruption, the roots of which have gone deep into the entire medical education system.

Let us hope that this Government has the will and tenacity to catch more big fish and rid the system of the malaise of Management Quota-MCI permit and License-to-kill Raj.
