Announcing this, State Health Minister Jai Narayan Vyas told mediapersons that the raise would be made effective from August 2006.
The decision would increase the monthly allowance of students doing medicine, dental, ayurvedic and homoeopathy courses across government-run institutions. It would add Rs 6 crore to the government’s annual salary outgo. The changes have also homogenised slabs for various courses, Vyas said.
"We hope this decision would improve motivation, working conditions and education services available for medical students in the state," the minister said.
