Lucknow: A senior doctor, a director of a medical colleges and 2 of his accomplices have been arrested for a scam of Rs. 15 crores on the pretext of securing MBBS admission of at least 26 lakh aspirants.

SSP, STF, Anil Singh Sisodiya informed that the whole scam came into light after the complaint of a Patna resident who was duped of Rs. 6 lakhs by one of the accused.

As we celebrate the World Glaucoma Week from 7th to 13th March this year, it’s a good time to schedule an appointment for a comprehensive dilated eye exam, if you haven’t undergone that even once. It is imperative that we make it a part of our annual to do lists. Just like we get annual blood and other test for certain disorders, just like we get our cars or
air conditioners serviced every year, this needs to be reminded that an annual examination for intra-ocular pressure is just as necessary. The World Health Organization estimates that 4.5million people worldwide are blind due to glaucoma. In India, glaucoma is the leading cause
of irreversible blindness with at-least 12 million people affected and nearly 1.2 million people blind from the disease. What is more alarming is that more than 90 percent cases of glaucoma remain undiagnosed in the community. This is especially important as in its early stages, glaucoma typically has no symptoms. Late in the disease, once vision has been lost, it can’t be restored. Being an asymptomatic disease, it leads to peripheral visual field loss first with well-maintained central vision. Hence it is also called a silent thief for vision loss. As much as 40% of vision may be lost before a person notices. However, without adequate treatment, glaucoma eventually affects central vision and progresses to complete blindness. Therefore, early detection by having a comprehensive dilated eye exam is the key to protecting vision. Those over 40 years of age, with a family history of glaucoma, high myopia (nearsightedness), those with history of steroid use, those with connective tissue disorders and those with thin central corneal thickness are especially at higher risk for development of glaucoma. These people at higher risk should undergo comprehensive dilated eye exam at least every one year. Glaucoma is a group of diseases that damages the optic nerve, the bundle of nerve cells that relays visual information from the eye to the brain. In the most common form of glaucoma, called primary open angle glaucoma, nerve damage results from increased pressure inside the eye. Increased eye pressure occurs when the fluid that circulates in the eye drains too slowly, and causes consequent optic nerve damage. The other common form of glaucoma called the
angle-closure glaucoma, may require a laser iridotomy procedure to help lower your intraocular pressure. When optic nerve damage has occurred despite a normal IOP, this is called normal tension glaucoma. Secondary glaucoma refers to any case in which another disease causes or contributes to increased eye pressure, resulting in optic nerve damage and vision loss.
However, if detected early, pressure often can be controlled through medication or surgery, and the progression of the disease can be halted. It is important to know that since the lost vision is irreplaceable, damage caused is irreversible, there is no gain in vision after therapy is instituted. However, the goal of the treatment is to prevent further loss. If you have been diagnosed with glaucoma, there are certain do’s and don’t’s for you:
- Remain in life long follow up with your glaucoma specialist. There may be times
when your eye pressure shows fluctuations, requires change in treatment ort requires
switch to some other medications. You may be unaware of the progression that might
be happening silently. Don’t regard it unimportant. - Do not consume, use steroids. Avoid as far as possible. Do not instil any medications
without asking your expert. - Take help from family, friends and your doctors. Ensure compliance to drops you are
using. Ask somebody to help you with alarms, instillation at regular intervals if that
helps. - Keep the self-confidence and morale high. Keep practicing meditation and breathing
exercises. Take moral support from friends and family. There is nothing to lose if you
maintain your pressures well. Stress itself is an important factor that can lead to high
pressures in your eyes.
To bring home the most important points, take care of your eyes, get yourselves checked
annually especially if you are high risk or above 40 years of age and stay happy

DCI (Dental Council of India) has issued a notice to the Principals of all Dental Colleges of India to submit a certificate issued by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) as soon as possible and directed them to act quickly.
DCI is the apex body to monitor dental education in the country, but unlike all other higher education regulatory bodies, it does not have an independent body of its own for accreditation of dental colleges. A NAAC Accreditation certificate is a step towards improving the standard of dental education as per international norms. NAAC tag has been made mandatory for medical and para-medical colleges as well.
A NAAC grade gives students and patients a broad idea of the comparative standards of the institutions in the country.

A Surat-based MBBS foreign graduate approached the Gujarat High Court via Advocate Aftab Ansari after being unable to start medical practice. The medico had completed his graduation abroad and cleared the FMGE exam that would make his degree valid in India.
However, the medico had to face problems due to a discrepancy related to his date of birth that is documented as 23.08.1996, whereas his original date of birth is 23.11.1996. as a result, his recognition had been put on hold.
Meanwhile, the medico’s lawyer Mr. Ansari told a daily, “the court issued notices to the medical college where he studied, the District Education Officer of Surat and the GSHSEB after hearing our petition.”
In India, about 28% of total MBBS seats cost over 10 Lakhs -per-annum effectively preserving them for the rich, a larger section than the reserved category.
In a detailed analysis of fees for the MBBS course in the over 530 MBBS colleges, it came out that about half of the seats in private colleges, excluding deemed universities, are in the management quota or NRI quota. In the NRI quota, the average annual tuition fee is roughly Rs. 25 lakh per annum, while for the management quota, it is around Rs. 11 lakh per annum.
Even some government colleges, mostly in Gujarat (11 colleges) and Rajasthan (8 colleges) have management seats (1,350) and NRI seats (580) at an average Rs. 18.5 lakh. In Punjab, the cost of MBBS in government colleges went up from Rs. 4.4 lakh to Rs. 7.8 lakh, among the highest in the country.
