KMC basic building locked

[RAAZ]

Villagers of Duwakot, Bhaktapur have locked the KMCTH Basic Science building since 5th March and have warned the college administration to keep it closed until their demands are met. Their demands are:

1) 5 free seats for MBBS for the students of Duwakot every year
2) 5 free seats for BSc Nursing for the students in Duwakot every year
3) 50% quota for the staff for the villagers of Duwakot
4) 75% treatment cost discount for treatment at KMCTH, Sinamangal
for the villagers of Duwakot

They intend to keep the Basic Science closed until all these demands of their are met.
The KMC administration is planning to run the basic science theory classes at the Clinical academic section since 9th March till the Basic Science building re-opens.
The students from out side the valley and from abroad who were staying at the Hostel at Duwakot are facing a big problem now and the college administration is planning for something to solve their problem soon.

That's really a nuisance. These demands are unacceptable. Duwakot ko gaule harulai pani Loktantra le chuwecha.

[Sarensa]

5 medical students means 1 crore per year. That is unaffordable. If their demands are met then tomorrow similar demands will be made by the people of Sinamangal. Its impossible.

If KMC agrees to any of these demands, it will just be setting a wrong example. So, students and staffs of KMC, help your institue not to start a new episode.

I am sure the college won't meet the demands. When I met our Principal, Dr. Hemang Dixit few days back, he responded it as an impossible demand and just trouble causing act of some political personnel back there at Duwakot. Actually, I have stayed there at Duwakot for two years and I know that the people there are very innocent and are under the control of few politics involved people. They donot have their own decision and thus its clear what is going on in there. I am sure the college won't agree to it.
Moreover, the college never have had any of such agreements with the locals there before building the college and so I think there is no need to get down towards them.

The Basic Science classes has been resumed at the Clinical Academic Building from today (9th march '07)

ya,,perfectly said!!!

its very sad to hear that the college is locked..
whatever happens, i plead to everyone that please do not disturb the education system... plz plz.. but i know its just shouting to the deaf ears..
the finals are in the june/july and we know how much the course has been covered yet... so i freak out just imagining whats going to happen to my juniors...

what ever the issue and demands the duwakote's are making..... i don't really know what the college had promised earlier or how reasonable is that demand..but i think they had better talked with the college administration and solve this issue as soon as possible.......
and i also plead to the college administration to try to solve this problem.. instead of going for alternative solutions like teaching the basic science students here at sinamangal ehich is already so much crowded and ill managed... thats never going to be a permanent solution... how are the students going to do their practical classes and how are they going to do the dissections.. i wonder......

god help us....

the issue did not seem to matter for so many years but now what has made it flare up like a wild fire? is it the loktantra? if yes, what good is it than the previous system of government?

frens i think we have a small disagreement here, whenever a big institution or a hospital or a factory is established, its natural and very logical that the local residents should have some benefit from that... and thats how development spreads... the only thing that matters is there should be an understandiing between the locals and the college....... the college should consider for the locals, whereas the locals should also put some logical and reasonable demands... it seems to me that the demands are quite above the appropriate level.....
so what can be done at such difficult turmoil is that ki the college talk to the representative of the village and talk and make a reasonable deal which both the parties aggree....
so i think 75% discount to the 2 MBBS seats plus 50% discount in treatment at KMC could be a possible deal... that way the patient flow to KMC will also increase..
what do you guys think?

[Walrus]

That sounds like bargaining.

I am not from KMC but this issue is not of KMC alone. KMC starts it means other places will be asking the same thing. It will shift everything to a new trend then.

MBBS seat is not something U get just by demanding. The candidate has to be eligible.They are asking for 5 and U are offering for 2. Is it that someone becomes eligible just by being resident of some place?

We should be raising the same question about provision of govt for the 'janjati' and those from remote place. Ok, I agree that is justifiable to some extent. But, Duwakot is not that far from the heart of a metropolitan to be given such provisions.

How many eligible candidates will there be from Duwakot in a year that they are asking for 5 seats? They should not be even asking for one. Are they deprived from their right to sit for a open competition for scholarship?

5 seats given to them means other 5 who are eligible do not get the admission. Is that justice?

If this starts then I am looking for a house to buy at Maharjgunj. My kids can get admission there.

This is totally useless, none of this demands are genuine... except treatment releief (can be considered if any other medical college has done or if duwakot people has contributed land or what ever help to the KMC, if not then it is also useless, there shoudl be give and take policy).

I think those people have become mad in the handful of politician. I urged KMC, not to fulfil their demands.

Why KMC has to be obliged to fulfil their demands if duwakot people haven't helped KMC at all... I repeat, there should be give and take policy.

No Suvash, I don't agree with you, I support Walrus, why do you think KMC should give 75% discount for them, why why why, what is their contribution to KMC... its BIG NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

What is wrong being KMC in that locality, instead of that KMC is helping to raise their socioeconomic condition I am sure to some extent some business have flourshed (student, teachers must have their breakfast, lunch, etc etc).

I think the person who has raised this deman as I say there is only one person behind this kind of nonsense demand he is totally mad.

But if the villager people are educated enough and meet the eligibility then they can hold some post and KMC need to think on it not 50% seat alocation, because local employ are better and convenient in many aspects, but all other demands are useless and nonsense.

You are right walrus, its not the issue of KMC only it does affect all the medical colleges. I wouldn't have raised this quesiton if I had my hometomn in Duwakot.

All this demands and nonsense activities shows the educational status of the Duwakot.. they have to learn many things. I am sure there might be some good people but I think bad gusy are outnumbered.


KMC has to take stand, don't fulfil their demands.
