The National Medical Commission (NMC) has issued a stern directive to seventy medical colleges across India, mandating immediate compliance with mandatory CCTV surveillance regulations. This action follows repeated failures by these institutions to adhere to the established norms, prompting the commission to issue a public notice after unsuccessful follow-ups.
The defaulting institutions are spread across various states, with Rajasthan, Maharashtra, and Delhi reporting the highest number of non-compliant colleges. The NMC’s directive requires these colleges to implement the necessary CCTV surveillance requirements without any further delay. The commission has also advised colleges to seek assistance if they encounter any challenges in meeting these regulatory standards.
The mandatory CCTV surveillance system is crucial for monitoring the academic activities and infrastructure within medical colleges, ensuring transparency and adherence to quality standards set by the NMC.
