Thanks to @PMOIndia@MoHFW_INDIA , @NMC_BHARAT@NITIAayog and all others for making this journey memorable. It's not the end , we have miles to go hand in hand , shoulder to shoulder for a better future.
Over its 13-year journey, NMMTA has undergone remarkable growth.
It has expanded from a small group of dedicated individuals to an association with over 2,700 members.
Its scope has broadened significantly-from organizing academic events and protest meets to engaging with government stakeholders and fighting legal battles in the courtrooms.
Thank you for being a part of this growing family and your trust in #NMMTA.
NMMTA conveys its warm greetings to all members and well-wishers on this Teachers' Day.

Today marks the fourth anniversary of the civil writ petition filed by the National MSc Medical Teachers' Association (NMMTA) in the Delhi High Court.
The petition challenges the discriminatory and prejudiced policies of the National Medical Commission (NMC) that undermine the interests of teachers with MSc and Ph.D. qualifications in medical sciences.
Despite waiting for four years for justice, the only outcome has been a series of postponed hearings and delays.
This ongoing litigation highlights the challenges faced by medical educators who are seeking fair recognition of their academic qualifications and professional contributions.
We remain committed to advocating for policies that ensure equal opportunities, respect, and fair treatment for all teachers with medical MSc/Ph.D qualifications.
At the same time we request @PMOIndia@MLJ_GoI to amend the necessary laws to bring improvements in the way our judiciary functions so that the aggrieved receives timely justice. @arjunrammeghwal@MoHFW_INDIA
"Fair Recognition, Equal Opportunity – NMMTA Stands Strong for Medical Educators!"

UGC identifies & recognizes our course as MSc (Medical Anatomy/ Biochemistry/ Physiology/ Microbiology /pharmacology) . We failed find any course as MSc Medicine . @MoHFW_INDIA ,@NMMTA_Assn
When it comes to duration of the courses, there is ambiguity, some are 2 years & one is 3 years. So Medical colleges run this with variable time line between 2-3.5 years. which i unjust and @NMMTA_Assn advocates all MSc (Medical) courses to be of 3 years duration as MD courses
MSc Medical Courses were recognized by MCI as per IMC Act. but they silently removed it from the list by deletion. Though UGC continues to recognize the course and thousands of Medical MSc /PhD teachers are working in medical colleges as Faculty members as per NMC/MCI guideline.
As an important stake holder in medical education @NMMTA_Assn again requests @MoHFW_INDIA & @PMOIndia to include medical MSc/PhD teachers in a national register under NMC or give these faculties their own council to maintain the standard , uniformity and integrity of the courses
@NMMTA_Assn strongly condemns the closure of Medical MSc/PhD course by @aiims_gkp on the pretext of draconian @NMC_IND s guidelines. to make it a #ViksitBharat , India's medical education must be at par with the world @PMOIndia . closure is a regressive step.
We demand equitable job opportunity for present and future Medical MSc/PhD professionals in every possible sector. We demand end of Academic Apartheid and continuous harassment by @NMC_IND . @MoHFW_INDIA & @PMOIndia both are answerable for these unjustified bullying act
We demand to @ugc_india@CSIR_IND@ICMRDELHI to include MSc. Medical courses in the Subject list of NET examination. How can these bodies Overlook these subjects for so many years must be investigated @PMOIndia .
Misrepresenting @NMMTA_Assn in social media doesn't solve the problem. Problems are solved in constructive ways. if one cannot keep focus blurred vision creates a different picture. NMMTA has achieved this position with love , support & faith of its members.
So to all MSc Medical/ PhD professionals.
1. We didnt find any degree called MSc medicine (In UGC list)
So it is advisable as a custodian that join any association with care and with full understanding of the facts. choice is yours & call is mine.
Recently it was observed that a professional association indulged in one sided mud slinging with NMMTA & ACBM. So as a responsible custodian it is my duty to bring some facts in front of you. The discussion will be with reference to compendium of UGC regulations 1957 – 2023.
Discrimination based on perceived differences occurs everywhere, but academia should be the last place for it—yet, sadly, it is prevalent.
In many countries, there is encouragement for the participation of teachers from diverse academic backgrounds, but in India, "pride and prejudice" drive policy.
In the UK, for example, the NHS includes 50% laypersons as members, but in India, the NMC is overwhelmingly dominated by the medical community.
As a result, a body that is "of the doctors, by the doctors, and for the doctors" operates more like a doctors' welfare association, favoring the medical community while ignoring and discriminating against other, smaller stakeholders.
This form of xenophobia, termed "academic apartheid," must be condemned and discouraged. Equitable treatment is the need of the hour.
Medical education must be shaped by the best minds, regardless of their academic qualifications. These two categories of teachers should complement one another, not compete.
We request the attention of @PMOIndia@MoHFW_INDIA@OfficeofJPNadda@JPNadda in this matter so that the discriminations end forever.

We urge @MoHFW_INDIA to address the unfair disqualification of MSc./Ph.D. teachers from serving as undergraduate examiners under NMC regulations.
Despite court rulings, many universities continue to deny qualified teachers with years of experience their rightful roles. Over 3,000 dedicated educators, some with decades of service, are affected.
Please intervene and direct NMC to amend the GMER guidelines to ensure that all teachers with 3+ years of experience in medical colleges can be appointed as examiners.

Dear Esteemed Members,
On this auspicious Teachers' Day, we extend our heartfelt greetings to each of you who illuminate the path of knowledge for our future medical professionals. Your dedication to shaping minds and nurturing skills is the cornerstone of our healthcare system's future.
As we celebrate your invaluable contributions, we also acknowledge the challenges that lie before us. In the face of adversities imposed by the National Medical Commission and the occasional skepticism from prejudiced colleagues, your resilience shines brighter than ever.
Today, we call upon you to reaffirm your commitment to the noble cause of medical education:
1. Uphold the torch of ethics: Let your actions be a living curriculum of integrity for your students.
2. Champion quality education: In every lecture, every demonstration, instill the pursuit of excellence.
3. Embrace innovation: As the medical field evolves, let your teaching methods adapt and flourish.
4. Foster inclusivity: Create an environment where every eager mind feels valued and heard.
5. Stand united: Together, we are stronger. Let our collective voice advocate for the recognition we deserve.
Remember, dear colleagues, that your impact extends far beyond the classroom. Each concept you teach, each skill you hone, ripples through time, touching countless lives through the hands of your students.
In the words of Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, "Teaching is a very noble profession that shapes the character, caliber, and future of an individual." You are not just teachers; you are the architects of our nation's health and well-being.
As you continue to navigate the complex landscape of medical education, know that your perseverance does not go unnoticed. Your dedication is the antidote to indifference, your knowledge the cure for ignorance.
Let's continue to excel in our duties while keeping the struggle for justice alive.

A controversial U-turn by #NMC in #MBBS Curriculum
People at #NMC are taking us decades back: Dr Satendra Singh, Professor, UCMS
This is a laughable curriculum by a council that doesn't have understanding of law: @anishgawande, LGBTQ Activist
