National Medical Register ID registration voluntary, says Union Minister Anupriya Patel
In a relief to doctors across the country protesting against the cumbersome registration process with the National Medical Register (NMR), Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare Anupriya Patel informed the Lok Sabha recently that application for issuance of an NMR Identification (ID) is voluntary. She was responding to a question from MP Aditya Yadav on whether the government had taken cognisance of the fact that, as of May 1, 2025, less than 1% of doctors had registered with the NMR eight months after its launch. The NMR is a centralised database of registered medical practitioners in modern medicine, maintained by the National Medical Commission (NMC). It contains information on each practitioner, including qualification, area of specialisation (in process), registration status, and date of registration, and assigns a unique identification number called the NMR ID. Launched in August 2024 under Section 31 of the NMC Act, 2019, the register was introduced as a mandatory exercise for all registered medical practitioners. It aims to eliminate duplication and enable the public to access information on any doctor working in India. Each doctor's record is linked to their Aadhaar ID for verification, with some data made public while sensitive information is restricted to specified individuals and institutions. State Medical Councils (SMCs) are responsible for verifying degrees and facilitating the process, with the portal dynamically updated for transparency and governance. Explaining the process, Ms. Patel said that under the Standing Operating Procedure (SOP), an applicant applies through the NMR portal. The application is first sent to the SMC where the doctor was initially registered, and after credential verification, it is forwarded to the NMC. Following further checks, the NMR ID is generated. She added that the NMC has written to all SMCs to 'put in extra efforts' to complete the registration. As per NMC data, there are 13,86,150 registered allopathic doctors in India. According to information obtained under the Right to Information (RTI) Act, the NMC had received 10,411 applications till April 24 this year. The RTI reply, dated April 29, stated that 10,237 applications had not been approved, including 139 in which queries had been raised.

Watch: "Jaipur Aunty" Making Noodles From Scratch Divides The Internet
Noodles, especially instant noodles, have become one of the most loved quick meals for many. But with concerns around health and processed foods, many foodies are turning to homemade options. Amid this, a video went viral on Instagram featuring a woman from Ashok Nagar, Jaipur, making noodles from scratch, offering a simpler alternative to store-bought ones. In the video shared by @foodwalebhaiya, the woman starts by preparing the dough - wrapping the ingredients in a cloth and beating it on a table. Next, she puts the dough in a huge container, separates it into smaller pieces, and feeds them into an extruder to shape the noodles. Once a flat, massive sheet is ready, she dusts it with powdered wheat and wraps it in plastic packets. The woman then resets the machines and feeds the sheets back into them. This is when the dough gets cut to the desired noodle length. The thin noodles come out perfectly shaped. She collects them on plates before lightly steaming them. And that is it. The noodles are ready to use after a quick heating. The video also shows her cooking the noodles. She heats oil in a pan, tosses in chopped capsicum, onion, and carrot, then adds the noodles. Bit by bit, she adds masalas and sauces, stirs everything up nicely, and finally serves a scrumptious plate of noodles. The post was captioned with the location: "Jaipur's Viral Aunty Noodles. Aunty's Cafe Ashok Nagar Jaipur." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Aditya Yadav???? (@foodwalebhaiya) The handmade noodle-making video left social media users divided. A section of users were wowed by the aunty's hard work. One of them commented, "This looks actually good." One more user added, "I salute your handwork and hardwork." "Full hygiene, handmade too good," said a person. A third comment read, "The process looks clean... Well done!" Someone else chimed in, "Damn fresh noodles kya baat hai," while another user explained, "This noodle might look a bit dirty but I bet this is way healthier than an instant noodle packet which contains carcinogens and microplastic." Meanwhile, a concerned viewer shared, "My OCD is screaming after watching this video." Another pointed out the cleanliness of the equipment: "I wish Aunty would give the machine a good clean before whipping up noodles." " Koi machine ka haal bhi dekhlena hygiene dikhegi," read one comment. "Clean the machine please!!!" said one more person.
