Allege neglect of their long-pending demands by government
Veterinary doctors are demanding equal pay along with civil assistant surgeons
No difference in the services of veterinary and medical doctors: Central pay panel
ANANTAPUR: Veterinary doctors under the aegis of Andhra Pradesh Veterinary Assistant Surgeons’ Service Association have decided to boycott duties from September 1 protesting the continued neglect of their long-pending demands by the State Government. Protest in different forms like dharnas, relay fasts have failed to move the government so far, the association leaders said.
Talking to newspersons here on Saturday, State general secretary of the association Ramachandra Reddy, district president A.V. Rathna Kumar, district general secretary M.V. Subbarayudu and others said that veterinary doctors working in the State had been demanding equal pay along with civil assistant surgeons for long and staged a series of protests from August 1 to 25 in support of their demands.
Contention Even the Fifth Central Pay Commission had recommended that the veterinary doctors be paid salaries on par with general duty medical doctors.
The Central Government, Punjab, Haryana, Gujarat, Maharashtra and West Bengal State Government are already implementing the recommendation, they mentioned.
The Central Pay Commission had also observed that there was no difference in the services of veterinary doctors and medical doctors and the former were also pursuing education on the lines of the latter and enrolling them as members in the Veterinary Council of India on the lines of Medical Council of India registration.
Besides, they are also acting as witnesses in courts in matters of veterinary medicine as their medical counterparts.
In tune with the demands of the veterinary doctors, the 1993 Pay Revision Commission had given better pay scale to veterinary doctors than agriculture officials and engineering officials.
Similarly, the veterinary doctors were also given better pay scale in the 1999 PRC.
Demand overlooked However, in the 2005 PRC, the demand for pay scale on par with the medical doctors was overlooked.
Several representations were given to the Rangachari Commission (pay anomalies) and to Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy by the association, but to no avail.
Poor pay scales to the veterinary doctors is keeping the veterinary graduates away from government service and as a result 550 out of 2,023 posts in the State are vacant.
The association leaders criticised the government neglect of veterinary doctors, though they had been serving the rural people and helping the growth of rural economy.

Docs ask govt to rectify disparity in promotion

Varanasi, February 26 Doctors belonging to the Uttar Pradesh Provincial Medical and Health Services (UPPMHS) on Tuesday demanded the state do away with the alleged disparity among general and specialist doctors when it comes to being promoted to the level of joint director. It has given the state government a month’s time to do the needful.
On February 11, the state had ordered the promotion of doctors to the joint director level. But during implementation of the order, general doctors benefited the most, said Dr A K Singh, vice-president of Provincial Medical Services Association in Varanasi.
“During the course of promotion to the joint director level, while general doctors were promoted till serial number 9,066, specialist doctors were promoted only to serial number 4,946 of the list,” he added. “Such a disparity meant general doctors, who joined services in 1993, have been promoted to joint director level. But specialised doctors, who joined services way back in 1981, did not benefit from the process.”
Varanasi branch Secretary Arvind Singh said, “While the doctors of state health services were divided into general and specialised cadres in 2004, their promotion to the joint director level has been done according to the old list, where there was only one group of doctors.”
He added, “We demand the state government promote the specialised doctors who have not been included in the process. All such specialised doctors are writing to Chief Minister Mayawati, principal secretary (medical and health) and director (health).”
A meeting of the executive body of the State Association has been called in Lucknow on March 16, where our future course of action will be decided if the government does not accept our demand. We are even mulling to move court,” he said.
Singh also underscored the need for filling over 4,000 vacancies for doctors in state health services. “No recruitment has been made through State Public Service Commission despite the Allahabad High Court directing the government twice in the past. The government, instead, has appointed 2,000 doctors on contractual basis who draw Rs 18,000 monthly, but work only six hours a day,” he said.
He also drew the state’s attention towards the paucity of medicines in state government hospitals. “WHO has drawn a list of 186 medicines, including 40 life saving drugs, which should be available in hospitals. But hospitals and health centres in the state do not even have half of these medicines.”

COMBATING CANCER : Diagnosis, Therapy and Nanomedicine
COMBATING CANCER :
Diagnosis, Therapy and Nanomedicine
H D KUMAR
SWATI KUMAR
Prompted by the considerable impact and substantial potential of recent advances and emerging possibilities in gene technology, biomarkers and 'omics' technologies, nanobiotechnology, stem cells, and companion diagnostics on reliable diagnosis and effective therapy of various cancers, the authors have attempted to produce a fully-updated and comprehensive outline of the applications of exploitable nanoscience and nanotechnology in combating cancer.
The study also introduces the reader to nucleic acids (especially dynamic DNA), gene mutations, virus-like particles, immunology and vaccines, plant nutraceuticals and the sunshine superstar (the wonder vitamin D) in the context of prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancers.
While taking the reader on an exciting journey through several disciplines such as ayurveda, allopathy, traditional and complementary medicine, chemotherapy and nanomedicine, some closely related issues of general health and diseases other than cancer are also touched upon briefly wherever relevant.
H D KUMAR (PhD London, 1963) coordinated the multi-faculty biotechnology programme of Banaras Hindu University from 1989–1993 and has been a member of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) panel on environmental effects of ozone depletion since 1989. He is currently interested in such issues of global concern as climate change, nanobiotechnology, stem cell biology and alternative and complementary medicine.
Kumar is a prolific writer on issues such as environment, climate change, agriculture, molecular biology and frontline areas of biomedical sciences. He has written more than 150 research and review papers and over 27 books. He also edits the Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology for the Korean Society of Microbiology.
SWATI KUMAR (MBBS, MD) finished her medical school and residency training in paediatrics from the Institute of Medical Sciences, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi in 2000. Taking advanced training in New York (USA), she did a residency in general paediatrics from 2001-2004. She specialized in infectious diseases of children at the State University of New York, 2004–2007, focusing on the study of Chlamydia pneumoniae infections in humans and animals. At Present, she is Assistant Professor of Paediatrics at the Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, Wisconsin (USA).
She has co-authored two books with H D Kumar (Global and General Environment and Modern Concepts of Microbiology). She has also published several research and review papers on topics related to infectious diseases.
Key Features
The book gives a concise account of new approaches and strategies to target and treat cancer and the latest in translational research and exploratory medicine. It aims to narrow the gap between discovery and development by translating targets and pathways to clinical efficacy, and points to future trends in cancer therapy and drug development.
Besides its overall utility for the medical fraternity, this book would serve as a balanced text or supplementary reading material for students, researchers and teachers of modern medicine, ayurveda, nanomedicine, healthcare biotechnology, immunology, pathology, pharmaceutics and molecular biology. It is supported by the most up-to-date literature citations.
