Medical Council of India team begins RIMS inspection

A three member of team of the Medical Council of India (MCI) on Tuesday began its two-day inspection of the Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS) amidst the 'threats' of 'de-recognition.'

Interestingly, more than the institute, it is the RIMS Director, Dr NN Agarwal who has come under the scanner. A recent Right to Information (RTI) 'revelation' points out that Agarwal has no five year mandatory teaching experience as a professor in any medical college before his appointment as RIMS director, for which it is a criterion.

A social worker Lotan Choudhary contacted the MCI team with necessary RTI documents. The MCI team assured him that they would go through it.
