SC orders Army Medical College to pay stipend arrears to 2022 MBBS interns
New Delhi, The Supreme Court on Friday ordered the Delhi-based Army College of Medical Sciences to pay arrears of ₹25,000 per month to MBBS interns from the 2022 batch, saying they deserved it as a "matter of right". SC orders Army Medical College to pay stipend arrears to 2022 MBBS interns A bench comprising Justices Sudhanshu Dhulia and Aravind Kumar passed the order while hearing a petition filed by medical graduate Abhishek Yadav and others through lawyer Tanvi Dubey. The top court observed that despite a September 2023 order mandating a stipend of Rs. 25,000 per month for interns starting October 2023, the previous batch had been left uncompensated. At the outset, Justice Dhulia questioned senior advocate R Balasubramanian, appearing for ACMS, as to why the 2022 interns had not been paid, even after nearly three years. "Why will you pay a stipend? They deserve it as a matter of right," the judge said. Justice Kumar also strongly criticized the stand of the ACMS and said, "You make them work for 18 hours, 19 hours, and you don't want to pay them a stipend?" Balasubramanian contended that the college is managed by a private society and does not receive government funding. The bench remained unconvinced and said, "These students have worked for the college. They must be paid." It proceeded to record a statement of Balasubramanian that the Army College would extend the same ₹25,000 stipend to all interns, including the 2022 batch. Citing previous orders passed by a three-judge bench, it ordered that similarly placed students should not be denied benefits. "We are of the opinion that the same benefit ought to be given to the previous batch as well... We direct that interns of 2022, who had done their internship with Army Medical College, also be paid an amount of Rs. 25,000 per month. Let the same be calculated and paid within eight weeks," the bench ordered. Dubey also brought to the attention of the court the plight of the foreign medical graduates and said that it is a case of bonded labour if they do not get the stipend. The bench asked as to why after rigorous hours the students are yet not paid stipend. It also directed that the matter pertaining to foreign medical graduates be also listed urgently for final arguments.

Technology, quality & strategy: Experts chart Assam tea's future at Dibrugarh meet
Dibrugarh: Former union minister and Assam Chah Mazdoor Sangha (ACMS) president Paban Singh Ghatowar has urged stakeholders to come together to rejuvenate Assam's tea sector. He made this appeal at the parishad's annual general conference in Dibrugarh on Saturday. Celebrating 80 years of BCP's service since its founding in 1944, the event brought industry leaders together to address critical challenges. BCP currently represents 103 members across Assam, including tea estates and bought leaf factories. "The tea industry, established by the British two centuries ago, has long been the backbone of Assam's economy, yet today it faces unprecedented challenges," Ghatowar said as the event's chief guest. "We need a holistic approach — planters, workers, policymakers, and technologists must collaborate. Govt support and collective action are essential to restoring Assam tea 's global stature," he added. Former Tea Board of India chairperson Prabhat Bezbaruah stressed quality as the industry's lifeline. "A more sympathetic approach from the Central government would help, but ultimately, our survival depends on meeting global standards. If we want Assam tea to thrive, quality must be our top priority," he said. Tea veteran and industrialist Manoj Jalan underscored technological advancements as crucial for progress. "The future of Assam tea lies in smart agriculture — AI-driven pest control, yield prediction, and precision farming. We can't afford to lag behind in technology adoption. These innovations will optimize production, quality control, and market responsiveness," Jalan said. Outgoing BCP chairperson Nalin Khemani highlighted the need for adaptation in his farewell address. "To secure the industry's future, sustainability and evolution must go hand in hand. Challenges such as shifting consumer preferences, climate change, stagnant demand, and overproduction require urgent action," he said. Khemani proposed strategic land diversification as a solution. "We should repurpose at least 25% of tea-growing land for alternative uses, allowing the remaining 75% to flourish while safeguarding the livelihoods of our million-strong workforce," he said. The conference also witnessed a change in leadership, with Sarvesh Saharia taking over as BCP Chairman for the 2025-2027 session, succeeding Khemani. Industry stakeholders expressed confidence that with the right strategies and unified efforts, Assam tea can reclaim its global prominence.
