New Delhi - 110077, INDIA Subject: Application for seeking information under RTI Act, 2005 with regards to the following queries numbered from 1 to 21 as mentioned below- which has not been provided by your office complaint to president of India regarding Ignoring letters under RTI act by MCI officers who should be more responsible,as they hold publicly responsible posts Dear Sir,
Under the provisions of RTI act 2005, you have to please provide the following information as I have already sent the requisite amount in IPO ,and attached letter in format prescribed. This letter is a reminder
Sir , I would like to bering to your kind notice that though I have sent a letter 1 month back to your office seeking information under the aforesaid RTI act i have not receieved any information .Now herewith I request you to give me the said information or return my IPO amount immediately
I herewith state that thruthfully,that I have not received any replies from your MCI office even after sending the requisite amount by IPO as well as letter in below enclosed pdf formats as well as I have preserved the Postal acknowledgement at the time of posting letter under RTI act nearly 1month back.
This shows the negligient attitude as well as anti-RTI attitude of Medical council of India officers,who should have behaved more responsibly as they enjoy the benifits of government job as well as they are answerable to the president of India. Your negligient,callous disregard as exhibited,by ignoring letters sent by Postal acknowledgement, gives scope for complaining and seeking redressal from the highest office of this nation,regarding negligient,callous,attitude of MCI officials .
Unfortunately i have to note with greatest regret that,MCI office has even not sent or wilfully wantonly withheld the POSTAL acknowledgement,and I think this is most callous attitude.
Please forthwith reply,or else I shall understand you are not following the orders of the president of India,as well as the government.I shall be enclosing the letter /email to the President as well as Vice president of India ,for their discretion as well as action
Hope you find time to reply to this legitimate request from ordinary Indian citizens.
Yours sincerely Dr Srinivas R Deshpande

For example at University departments at Kannur ,Kerala,kottayam, University of Madras etc. In absence of such regular structured MCI inspections, are such MSc degrees given by Departments not attached to hospitals recognized by MCI? can such above non –hospital based departments where not even one patient is seen /examined be considered to be at par with similar designation departments in medical colleges where actual patients are being investigated/reported upon? 4. What qualifying criterions are applied to such MSc who desire to become teachers at Medical colleges?

Or are they back door entry to medical fields like medical biochemistry, physiology etc in medical and dental colleges of India ?If PhD a are conducted in medical universities , then are PhD degrees all of same nature- for example a PhD in Botany and a PhD in Metallurgy or Medicine or Surgical sciences are all of same weight? Does not MCI want to specify that a person –who is PHD, is a Medical PhD and should be designable as Medical PhD? 11. For faulty lab results, faulty lab data correlations and interpretations by MSc teachers working in laboratories-if a person (patient) is aggrieved by the MSc, PhD lab service provider can the Consumer protection laws be applied?

Please provide information- under current rules of MCI -Can masters of science persons currently deployed as teachers in medical colleges be asked to do a short course in medicine covering medicine ,surgery,pathology,pharmacology,ENT,Ophthalmology and other clinical sciences lasting for 3 years and 1 year Internship so that the difference between MD's and MSc personnel be obliterated forever? 17. What are the reasons as per MCI for separating Biochemistry from Physiology? What are the reasons at present date for not merging the department with either Physiology or Pathology so that enough number of appropriate qualified MD teachers are available in each department? 18. Is there a proposal to lay down criterions for MCI registration of laboratory service providers like Tutors, demonstrators, lecturers of MSc cadre working in medical colleges? Are these people authorized to sign lab reports' in their capacity as tutor/ lecturer/ assistant professor?
