Jammu, July 17: Minister for Medical Education, Youth
Services and Sports, Taj Mohi-ud-Din, is enhancing medical and sports
facilities in Jammu and Kashmir by reshaping the present structure.As per the
information, Taj has worked remarkably especially in uplifting the sports
section in the state of Jammu and Kashmir. It was during his tenure that
cricket players like Parvez Rasool and Shubham Khajuria found their place in
the Indian Cricket Team. Not only this, but he also ensured that basic
facilities were being provided to sports lovers in every nook and crook of the
state. In order to make sure that every single talented youth lives his dream,
he was the one who announced development, maintenance and construction of
stadiums in far flung areas of Jammu and Kashmir. Taj seems to be committed to
develop sports infrastructure throughout the state and in this direction
special attention has already been paid by the present dispensation to augment
the sports infrastructure. A number of steps in the recent past are taken by
the minister for developing play grounds and extending better sports facilities
to the young budding youth so that they are able to exhibit their talent. It
was his continuous demand, that made Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh to
promise and announce a package of Rs 700 crore over a period of five years in
order to boost the mechanism of sports in Jammu and Kashmir .
Taj told that
potential for sports in state is much higher than expected. The only thing that
we lacked was proper management and I am taking every possible step to ensure
that every youth of the state achieves his desired goal. "I am making sure
that all the sports lovers gets the required facilities and these facilities in
return will boost their morale and they will shine one day and with them will
shine the name of our state", he added.
While taking views from different sports lovers across the
state, News gathering found that most of
them are feeling merrier, since Taj took on the ministry of sports. "We
are glad that Taj Mohi-ud-din took charge as the minister for Sports and Youth
Affairs and because of him sports in the state witnesses a boom" , they
added by saying that, his efforts and determination towards the youth of the
state made all the developments possible.
Now considering his role medical education, Taj knew that
the State was facing shortage of qualified doctors due to the expansion of
health infrastructure, more so in rural and hilly areas. He was also aware that
the intake capacity of the GMCs was fixed some 40 years back after which it was
never reviewed. So he came up with a proposal which was meant to put an end to
all these prevailing problems. He dropped a proposal to the Central government
regarding increase in the intake capacity of medical colleges in the state.
In July 2013, the Centre accepted the proposal and said that
it would be applicable from this year's academic session. This proposal
increased the intake capacity of Government Medical Colleges of Srinagar and
Jammu from 100 to 150 and that of SKIMS Medical College, Bemina from 50 to 100.
With this, 150 seat were added to these colleges. Taj recently in February
flagged off issues for better management of hospitals and healthcare in the
state, by stressing upon the need for rationalizing human resource in medical
services for better results to the society. He also asked for adoption of
Medical Council of India (MCI) norms for better and quality services at the
hospitals and ensuring quality surgical equipments and using generic medicine
at hospitals which are in line with the prescribed norms throughout the
country. Taj said government is willing to make rules governing the services of
doctors more flexible hinting at making amendments in existing rules as well to
make their working more comfortable. This is not the end as he has done much
more for the development and prosperity of the general public are far as both
the sectors are concerned
