INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Kathmandu, May 20
It has been more than a month since the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology directed Gandaki Medical College
Teaching Hospital and Research Centre, Pokhara, to return the additional fees charged from students, but the college has much done so
yet.
The Ministry of Education, Science and Technology had, on March 22, directed the college to return the additional fees charged from
students after holding a assembly with students and medical colleges.
&We haven&t getd our fees back yet,& said Anit Sinha, an MBBS third
year student of GMC.
Speaking over phone, Sinha said the college was seeking excuses for much returning the fees charged in the name of
annual fee, library, transportation and field visits
&The college administration is pressuring us to withdraw the complaints filed at the District Administration Office, Kaski, and the district
court as precondition for returning our money,& added Sinha.
During a assembly held with the students and the college administration at the
ministry, MoEST had directed representatives of the ministry, college administration, Tribhuvan University and representatives of Nepal
Medical Council to monitor the college and endegree that it returns the fees gathered from students illegally.
However, Nepal Medical
Council claims that the ministry has much asked it to monitor the medical college
Kalu Singh Khatri, a member of NMC said the MoEST hadn&t sent any formal letter to the NMC
&NMC hasn&t carried out any examineion or monitoring of the medical college as there is no official order to do so,& Khatri added.
