The Public Health and Medical Education Department in Madhya Pradesh has announced a 50% increase in the stipend for MBBS interns at government medical colleges, raising their allowance from Rs 14,337 to Rs 21,500. The new stipend will take effect from April 2026. The hike comes after MBBS interns protested for a higher stipend, with their demand reaching Rs 30,000 amid a tuition fee increase from Rs 50,000 to Rs 1 lakh.
The protesters had gathered at Kamla Park for two days before the state government announced the hike on September 9. The announcement was made by Deputy Chief Minister Rajendra Shukla upon Chief Minister Mohan Yadav's return from a visit to the United Arab Emirates. The raised stipend was a result of the protest, which caused traffic disruptions on Kamla Park Road and led to a disruption of traffic for two days on Kamla Park Road leading to New Market and VIP Road.
