In Madhya Pradesh, MBBS doctors face a potential fine of ₹50 lakh for breaching a three-year service commitment following completion of the PNDT Act training programme. The Directorate of Public Health and Medical Education (DPH&ME) has announced the mandatory six-month training programme for MBBS pass-outs, set to commence on October 1. Six medical colleges - Bhopal, Indore, Gwalior, Jabalpur, Rewa and Sagar - have been selected for this training initiative.
Upon completion of the six-month training, doctors are required to sign a bond of ₹50 lakh as a condition of the three-year service term. The training fees vary depending on the category of the doctor. Those working under the National Health Mission will have to pay a fee of ₹20,000, while those registered for sonography will incur a fee of ₹10,000. For doctors from outside the state, the fee is set at ₹20,000 if no authorized institution is available for training.
In cases where students abandon their postgraduate seats at medical colleges, a bond of ₹30 lakh is mandatory. Furthermore, if an MBBS graduate fails to fulfill their one-year service obligation, penalties are imposed - ₹10 lakh for unreserved candidates and ₹5 lakh for candidates belonging to Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe categories.
