Faced with a severe shortage of doctors, the Odisha government has declared that admission to government medical colleges would be denied to any student unwilling to commit to serving the State for a mandatory period of two years following the completion of their studies.
The government ordered the submission of a bond declaring that, after the completion of studies related to healthcare, the candidates would serve in any health institution of the State for at least two years.
After the completion of two years of service in accordance with the bond, direct recruits as well as in-service doctors would be released from the bond’s conditions.
