Horata Samiti demands suspension of GIMS director

The Grameena Abhivrudhi Horata Samiti has urged Karnataka government to suspend Kavita Patil, Director, Gulbarga Institute of Medical Sciences, who has manipulated the guidelines of Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) and applied irrelevant rules to favour particular candidates for various posts.

Samiti president Shravan Kumar D. Nayak addressing press persons here on Saturday alleged that the candidates appointed for the posts of Scientist C of MRU, Scientist B MRU ad Scientist B VRDL, Laboratory technicians, data entry operators were compromised. The candidates selected for the post of Scientist C and B at MRU are ineligible since they do not fit into the eligibility criteria as per the notification.

The GIMS authorities have manipulated the age limit criteria to select a particular candidate for the post of Scientist B at VRDL. It also failed to scrutinize the authentication of the experience certificate, and most importantly the GIMS did not follow the roaster system for these appointments. He claimed that the GIMS have favoured the appointments of Dr. Shivalee, Dr. Rohini Kollur and Dr. Mahesh for the Scientists’ posts.
