Doctors' Day Protest Calls for Transparent Leadership in Medical Institutions

On National Doctors' Day, faculty members from AIIMS Delhi and PGIMER Chandigarh conducted a peaceful protest, demanding the implementation of the Rotatory Headship system. The protest, directed by the Faculty Association of AIIMS and the Faculty Association of PGIMER, highlighted the call for democratic and transparent leadership in India's leading medical institutions.

Participants, wearing black badges and protest T-shirts, engaged in a relay hunger protest, emphasizing their collective commitment to fairness and academic integrity. The slogan 'Ab ke baar, Rotatory paar!' resonated across campuses, signaling that their demands could no longer be dismissed.

The protest, marking the end of a sustained two-month campaign involving polling, signature campaigns, and departmental resolutions, sought to highlight the unimplemented Rotatory Headship system already prevalent in many premier institutions in India, calling for immediate action from concerned authorities.
