NEW DELHI: The Centre ordered late on Tuesday night an enquiry into the death of a first year medical student Aman Kachru.
Aman was allegedly beaten to death by his seniors at Dr. Rajendra Prasad Government Medical College at Kangra in Himachal Pradesh.
Describing the death due to ragging as unacceptable, Union Health and Family Welfare Minister Anbumani Ramadoss told The Hindu that the Union Health Secretary and the Director General of Health Services would look into this case, along with the overall ragging scenario across the medical colleges in the country.
Referring to the report prepared by the Raghavan Committee on preventing ragging in educational institutions, Dr. Ramadoss said the question was of implementing the recommendations endorsed by the Supreme Court.
“Some States like Tamil Nadu are doing exceptionally well, while some are lagging behind, like this particular government medical college in Kangra.”
The enquiry would also go into the implementation of the recommendations of the Raghavan Committee.
Dr. Ramadoss said the college had been given Rs. 150 crore for upgradation in the current financial year. THE HINDU
