इस संसार में सदा नहीं रहेंगे, ऐसा जिसको समझ में आ गया, उसी को इस संसार में रहने का ढंग आ गया।
जिसको समझ में आ गया कि ओस की बूंद है, अब गिरी, तब गिरी; भोर की तरैया है, अब डूबी, तब डूबी।
क्षणभर का खेल है।
फिर क्या चिंता है?
फिर किसको दुख देना है, किसको पीड़ा देनी है, किससे शत्रुता लेनी है? शत्रुता हम ले पाते हैं इसी पर कि जैसे सदा रहना है।

Team of IMA Maharashtra State reached the flood affected areas on 14th August 2019.

The team travelled to all three districts which have been ‘highly affected districts’ as per reports to understand how the state can manag to face an impending health crisis following flooding.

Team IMA established a control room in the city of Karad to coordinate the logistics of providing manpower and medicines to the entire region. Communicable diseases were to be contained by ensuring monitoring of people in the city areas as well as in the interiors. We had to ensure that those with non communicable diseases would be provided medicines & necessary care.

In the control room at Karad, doctors were appointed as coordinators for all teams that will dealt with public health, drugs distrubution, logistics, human resource management, documentation. They are given with responsibility of collecting data from local Police Stations, respective SP offices & DHO offices. This is to ensure the planning of resources.

In the second phase, medicines, medical assistance and clean water with other necessary things are being delivered to the affected homes as per need. The drugs and logistics management and human resource teams ensured that the number of doctors and volunteers pouring in from IMA branches are being directed to relevant locations. Stocks of medicines and consumables is maintained at Karad.

Patients identified in different areas are being given Doxycycline tablets if they had come in contact with flood waters. Patients visiting the remote OPDs are also being given Doxycycline with other necessary treatment.

Ensuring insulin, medicines for blood pressure is an important task. In the entire affected areas, patients in need of antihypertensive & oral hypoglycemic drugs are identified & are being provided with the necessary medicines with medical assistance. Everything is being done under the circumstances at various places.

Many places are being visited repeatedly by doctors to repeat the process & to identify people who are returning homes after flood is receding.

IMA doctors are playing very important & significant role in the measures to provide healthcare & to prevent outbreaks. This is the critical role of all local IMA branches making IMA Maharashtra State operation a humanitarian success. Our doctors are displaying determination, spirit of humanity & unity in delivering the healthcare to the needy people.

Meetings & visits at Karad, Satara, Sangli, Kolhapur, Jaysingpur, Peth, Islampur & many surrounding interior areas has ensured this work on fast track. Kolhapur doctors are functioning in the town & remote areas from day one. They have stalked the medicines, other help in Kolhapur IMA house & is being distributed all over through various channels. IMA office in Kolhapur has distributed work through many teams & is going on strong in all directions in the district. Boats were used regularly for this purpose in the initial phase.

Satara, Sangli, Karad, Phaltan, Nira Lonand doctors are showing unique resolve. Boats were being used in these areas too. Sangli IMA house was under water upto 7-8 feets. Still all doctors stood by people during crisis.

Jaysingpur IMA doctors were more than perfect in their services. 27 teams, 5 emergency back up teams with team leaders with central war room showcased the best disaster healthcare management. They did not stop here. The emergency medicines, drinking water & other things were brought to Kolhapur airport by flight. Jaysingpur IMA arranged helicopter to airlift the material from Kolhapur airport. This every emergency medical assistance was delivered to remote places like Kurundwad through boats against odd weather conditions. This was a masterpiece example of dedication, humanity & professionalism.

On 20th August 2019, we again visited all branches & remote areas. Through IMA Maharashtra State, we delivered 2000 kits of things of daily needs to affected remote areas including clothes, sarees, blankets, bedsheets & other things.

*Overall the IMA Maharashtra State Flood Relief Operation is being executed in organized way & we look forward to deliver our best to all needy people in the flood affected areas & we stand with our moto; "IMA is FOR PEOPLE".*

The Myth of Government spending on medical education

A lie or half truth oft repeated from high pulpits sufficient number of times becomes accepted as hard fact. The frequent statement that Government of India spends crores in making a doctor has been fed ad nauseum by the politicians and gleefully propagated by the civil society and the press to the extent that it is firmly entrenched in public mind. This is the reason oft given to justify statements like “doctors should serve the nation”, “Doctors should do compulsory rural service” and “Doctors should not be permitted to go abroad to work”. No one has paused to ask what is the basis of this statement so oft repeated that the honourable Supreme Court has also quoted it as a fact which does not need any proof.

I have tried to find the cost to the company (Government) for producing a doctor (his own effort not withstanding). There are no answers. If Government were spending 1 crore on each doctor produced in a Government medical college obviously it is spending about 35000 crore of the 50000 total budget for healthcare purely on this. I have also been told that Government spends huge amounts even if a doctor graduates from private medical college after paying 80% of his parental savings and hence even those graduating from private medical colleges should do rural service. Obviously then the entire budget for healthcare is being spent by the Government on training doctors. The amount spent on preventive medicine, primary healthcare, and the treatment of the hordes of patients in tertiary Government hospitals across India comes free of cost from the CSR budget of Reliance and Adanis. Who produced this fantastic data and on what basis needs to be found urgently because the mind is innovative, ingenious, inventive and is probably also the genesis of the elusive “vikas” too.

Fact is that except for Departments of Anatomy and Physiology the remaining subjects taught in medical colleges across the country are related to patient care and medical education is only a byproduct. The budget given to Government hospitals is grossly inadequate for the patient care so medical students both undergraduate and postgraduate are used a unpaid labour to take care of patient load. Not only is it unfair to the students but also to the general public who is under the impression that the treatment in Government hospital is being provided by a qualified doctor or a qualified specialist. During the “training” the undergraduate and specially each of the postgraduate students saves the Government salary of atleast two more doctors who would have to be employed to take care of the patient load if the teaching program was not in place.

I have nothing against rural service and infact I opted to work in a village immediately after my graduation. However looking back on those days I shudder to think of the bravado we had and the errors we made. Half baked doctors unloaded on rural population may be politically OK but is not morally or medically correct. Many doctors, including myself, after retirement would not mind working in rural areas for limited emoluments as service to the nation. They will have the experience to tackle the health issues clinically without investigations based solely on experience. Also the idea of forcing specialists and superspecialists to do rural service is an idea which is mindless, imprudent, ill considered, reckless and fool hardy. What pray will a new DM Cardiology do in a Primary Health Centre except tagging along in the motor cavalcade of senior politicians as their personal cardiologist. The MD radiology freshly passed would be better off and the nation better served by exposing him to Interventional procedures, MRI and other newer imaging modalities rather than twiddling his thumbs in the Civil Hospital with no working ultrasound machine. The 3-4 years immediately post MD/MS/MCh/DM for all specialists are very crucial for them to refine and enhance their skills. It is a national human resource which will be sacrificed at the altar of political expediency.

The civil society stalwarts, the honourable judiciary & Ministry of Health and Family welfare Kindly provide me the concrete data on how much does it costs the Government to produce one doctor in a Government & Private medical college and share with me the methodology of such calculation. Do not extrapolate what the private medical College owning Member Parliaments have fed you because the fee in profit making colleges in China, Russia, Phillipines and so many other countries where our students go to be trained is less than 20 lacs for the entire course of MBBS. So If the Government is spending 1 crore to produce one MBBS doctor it is a very inefficient model which should immediately be wrapped up and replaced.

*Rs. 500 crores SCAM of Karnataka Medical College illegal Medical Seat Blocking Scam 2019 .We want demand CBI Or SIT enquiry*

Sir/Madam,

From last 4 weeks we have been collecting the data and information about Medical Seat blocking scam. We have gathered ample of information about illegal medical seat scam in Pvt Medical College and KRLM Colleges. We have approached CBI Director, Central Vigilance Commissioner , PM office , Health Secretary Govt of India , Health Minister Govt of India to expose this *Rs 500 crores illegal Medical seat cancellation Scam*

Kindly help us in this Mission Save Merit and expose Medical college chairman's those who are very much involved in this Scam and Few Bangalore based brokers are also involved in it ..Raj Gopal Reddy, Jaismin Muni, T Babu, Chetan Reddy, Rajeev kumar Singh, Manoj Orissa, Harsha local, Manju Gowda, Mahesh Kumar, Shib Shankar @ Shibu, Ajit A***n, Ujjawal Vats, Gaurav, Atul Vats.

By checking of All Medical College CCTV footage and agents mobile call details and mobile tower location u can easily established a Nexus of Rs. 500 Crores Medical Seat blocking Scam.

One NGO Save Merit is going to file a PIL in Supreme court with the help of Senior Advocate Prashant Bhushan sir and Dr Anand Rai sir (Whistle blower of Vyapam Scam of Madhya Pradesh ) Please help us in this Mission and motivate us to stop this Rs 500 crores illegal Medical Seat blocking/ Seat Cancellation Scam . Karnataka Medical College Chairman's are also involved in this Scam. Last year 2018 they have successfully done Rs. 350 Crore scam with the help of Medical Education Department and in 2018 crores and crores of rupees distributed among them from Medical Education Minister, DME, Secretary, KEA CEO, DS, RGUHS VC and all. That time Congress JDS corrupt govt was fully involved in corruption.

CBI is also monitoring this scam this year thanks to PM Sri Narendra Modi sir who has taken a quick response in this matter and given instructions to Director CBI and Harsh Vardhan ji Health Minister Govt of India to examine the issue and if college managements are involved with the help of Agents broker in illegal MBBS seat Cancellation their college recognition should be cancel under the charges of corruption by using illegal method for earning money ..

What is MBBS Seat cancellation or Seat Blocking -

Seat Blocking is a kind of Scam of Earning illegal money with the help of Corrupt Medical colleges chairman's. Like Shamnur Shankarapa, DA Kalpaja, Dayanand, Manoj, Muniraju, Prakash Swamy Shekhar Swamy, .These corrupt chairman directors should be arrested and should sent to jail like Madhya Pradesh Vyapam Scam several medical college chairman got arrested and still few are in Jail from last 3 years and not getting bail.

I am giving u one Example - One Student who got All India NEET rank 5653. definitely he will get good govt medical college in any state. that candidate will select Govt medical College Bilwara. Rajasthan under Govt Fees. again the same student will come to karnataka and take another MBBS seat in Sapthagiri Medical college by using second copy of markscard or color xerox marks card with the help of college chairman or with the help of brokers. they will hold both of the seats govt college seat and pvt college seat. on last date of final list submission to MCI or university 29th August the pvt college management will tell to that student that do sign on a white paper that u are withdrawing this MBBS seat by any reason like (unable to get study loan or unable to manage this much of tution fees or some health issue or some false reason). then in the last day no state government can conduct counselling all at a sudden. so govt will allow them to fill that cancellation seat by their own.. so by using this govt policy loop hole Every chairman is earning 45-60 crores by cancelling 45-60 mbbs seat in one one college. per seat they are charging 1.3 to 1.50 crore in karnataka. college chairman giving 10 lakhs per seat to the seat cancellation brokers those who arrange this type of seats or whose who brought students from different different states. broker will take 3-4 lakhs with them and 6-7 lakhs they will pass on to the student who came for seat blocking and later on seat surrender. and after that they will continue their study in that govt college without any problem. 1 govt college seat they will continue and pvt college seat they will be block and later on surrender. its a big racket between college management and seat blockers brokers. Merit Quota seat converted in Management Quota seat.. Its a big money making game..

*List of colleges those are involved in Rs 500 crores Scam in Karnataka*:-
1. JJM medical college Davangere is Champion in Cancellation Scam College Chairman's Shamnur Shivshankarappa Ex minister and Congress MLA is fully involved in this seat blocking scam he is Godfather of all agents like Raj Gopal Reddy (Davengere) Manoj Kumar (orrisa)
This year Shamnur ShivShankarappa has planned to Block 20 In JJMMC and 15 MBBS seats in SSIMS is his both colleges JJMMC and SSIMS DVG with the help of Seat Brokers ..
We have collected details of few Rajasthan/Jharkhand /UP/ Kerala students those who are selling their merit quota seats to Shamnur ShivShankarappa by taking 10 lakhs per seat . Shamnur Shivshankarappa is Chairman of Pvt Medical College Association and he is fully involved in this scam. He has assured 10 college chairmans that he will get Approval of all admissions through DME by pressurising Political pressure. Surely these college management and chairmans should be arrested by CBI or Some Agency.

2. BGS Medical College Chairman Shekhar Swami Swami and his Principal Dr Mohan is fully in involved in this Seat Blocking scam with the help of Agent brokers Niraj Singh and Shib Shankar Shibu , Babu Reddy , Atul Vats, Gaurav Bhaushan Shekhar Swami is a full corrupt man and last year 2018 college had done 24 illegal medical seat surrender and done the admissions by taking 1.20 crore per MBBS student, Dr Mohan is the main accused of this scam In BGS, He is the Principal of BGS . Already MCI President warned to BGS if one single illegal seat surrender complaints will come of BGS college govt will cancel college permission .

3. Vydehi Medical college is also involved in Seat blocking scam from 2017 College director Mrs. DA Kalpaja Director of Vydehi is fully involved in Rs. 500 crore illegal Medical Seat Scam . 2018 they have done last year 14 seats illegal seat blocking in Vydehi Medical college . This year they are doing 13 seats through agent admii broker Jaismin Muni agent who is absconding in so many cheating and fraud cases in Rajasthan, Orrisa and Bombay. Suman Bhattacharya, Shizu, Mahesh kumar all agents are involved in Vydehi medical college seat blocking Scam of Rs. 500 crores scam

4. Sapthagiri Medical college is also involved in this Rs 500 crores medical seat selling seat cancellation scam in Bangalore admission Broker Jaismin Muni and Rajeev Kumar and Rajeev Gopal Reddy and Harsha are doing illegal seat surrender scam this year Chairman son is involved in this seat blocking scam with the help of Jaismin muni already Ministry of Health Govt of India and MCI is also monitoring this college that how many illegal seat blocking and seat cancellation is happening this year . This college recognition should cancel and sent Chairman's son to Jail in involvement of illegal scam . In this college all KEA quota merit seat will go to cancellation. All merit quota seats has been committed by brokers and allready students from Rajasthan Bihar UP MP Jharkhand has selected this college because Chairman son Manoj is paying upfront payment Select this college and after reporting in the college they are giving 50% advance to the students /brokers that why this college is in top priority among the seat surrender agents. In 2018 total 21 illegal medical surrendered and sold to Wealthy candidates.

5. Vydehi medical college Chairman Kalpaja is also giving advance to brokers to block the seats and later they will withdraw that seat and convert it into management quota and sell per MBBS seat 1.40 crore per seat .. they are planning to do minimum 15 seat blocking in this year 2019 through agent Jaismin Muni, Suman Bhattacharya and Pandey Sarban Sonar like agents.

What the hell Karnataka Director Medical Education and Secretary Medical Education is doing ?

Why Cheif Minister BS Yedurappa ji is not taking any strong action against these illegal seat blockers. Why BJP govt is not giving SIT or CBI enquiry of last year 2018 Scam and 2019 scam.
It's a Scam of Rs 500 crores. why CM has to warn Secretary Medical Education to stop corruption in medical education system ?
Where is BS Yeddurappa ji is sleeping ? Where is PM Narendra Modi ji and his students policy ? Why BJP Karnataka govt is doing and allowing Congress party leaders owned Medical college to do Rs.500 crore medical seat scam . It's a matter of thousands meritorious student career ...

For sake of money few Chairman's like JJMC Shamnur Shivshankarappa , Vydehi DA Kalpaja, BGS Shekhar Swami , Akash Muniraju, Manoj Sapthagiri , Oxford Ramesh , Mvj Mohan , Nagraj Kolar, MRMC Belgundi, Swami of Chitradurga all are doing illegal and unethical business by looting the merit of students in broad daylight for sake of money ...

All the seat blocker are using fake markcard, Color Xerox markcard , same student has opted 2 medical admission at the same time one genuine admissions in Rajasthan or UP or Kerala, Jharkhand or MP for his own study and one fake admissions medical seat blocked in Karnataka for selling purpose by using fake markcard or by using colour Xerox markcard ..why CCB or SIT Karnataka is not investigating this matter now and arrest those agents and brokers.then all Seat blockers agents should arrested by crime branch Bangalore Or SIT to stop cancellation seat blocking scam. That type of determinations should require by the police commissioner Mr. Bhaskar Rao
Once again i am requesting you to stop seat blocking seat surrender seat cancellation scam in Karnataka to save meritorious students life ..
One of the example i am giving u Neet Rank all india 5653 Miss Gunjan D/o Chandra Kant Verma Neet allottment serial 851, Reg id RM11462, Govt Medical College, Bhilwara (Rajasthan) the same student she has taken admission in Sapthagiri Medical College Bangalore by using color xerox marks card with the help of seat blockers agent.
I am having details of 86 students those who have blocked the seats in different colleges of Karnataka and they have already taken admission through Neet in their respective State Govt colleges.
KEA should conduct 4th round of counselling on 30th August and same day counselling and same day reporting at KEA centre like Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar state counselling then only Seat Blocking can be stopped.

KEA should check manually each and every student who take admission in Sapthagiri, BGS, Vydehi, Akash, East Point, JJMMC, MRMC Gulbarga, Sridevi, Oxford, Subaiaya, that why the cut off was very high in these colleges. Why these Dabba colleges like Sapthagiri Medical college, BGS , Sridevi, Akash, Vydehi College seats closed by 10000 all india rank. where as MS Ramaiah closed 10871 how it is possible ?

Why top ranker students are taking Sapthagiri, BGS, Vydehi, East Point, Akash, Oxford and Sridevi college why not selecting seats in MS Ramaiah or Kims? Because MS Ramaiah or KIMS they are not entertaining seat cancellation or seat blocking system. thats why all genuine students they have opted MS Ramaiah or Kims..

On 30th August we are filing a PIL in supreme court for CBI investigation to expose 2019 seat blocking scam.
so my humble request to the KEA (CEO/Director ) plz stop seat cancellation. And conduct one final round of counselling on 30th August to stop these illegal and Rs.500 crores medical seat blocking scam.. Issue a circular on the website that if any candidate found guilty by Opting 2 mbbs seat in same time that students both seats will cancel and legal action will be taken by NEET that he/she will be banned for 2 years to appear in NEET exam.. this will effect immediately to stop thia illegal and unethical seat blocking scam. Plz help meritorious students plz sir..otherwise our life will be hell and non meritorious crorepati sons will become doctor and genuine meritorious students will be suffer whole life..
Jai Hind
