For the second time in less than six months, Dental Medical College (DMC), Raipur- the only government dental college in the state, has been denied permission to start post graduate course of Masters of Dental Surgery (MDS) by the Dental Council of India (DCI) on account of inadequate infrastructure and staff shortage.
The college, which was given time till February this year to upgrade its infrastructure and hire the adequate staff for the PG course after a DCI inspection in December last, failed to do so. The DCI team that visited the college for inspection last month found that the shortcomings existed both in the infrastructure and staff strength and hence disapproved the college’s proposal.
