I know for a fact that part of the work of a dental faculty in three dental colleges is to make fake OP cards of fictitious and fill it with fake treatment.

What is the role of so called DCI...? What most of them anwer is all the members of the council are corrupted and they are giving grants for many colleges which donot have a minimum OPD of 10patients.. but the colleges are taking 50 to 100 UGs and 20 PGs per year...then where is the question of learning (IMPOSSIBLE)... please dont make education as a business and pls give recognition for colleges who meet the protocols.. my strong advice is to have an income tax raid on all the council members..

What a pathetic Blog. You may delete this comment, after reading it.

I am not sure about the business behind a biometric machine, anyway that machine doesn't cost more than few thousands.. Also count the total dental colleges in country.

Thats not the main issue, are u aware of some pathetic dental colleges, where teaching is done by visitors only. .. which lack the required hospital & lab facilities ?? Anyway i am aware and i am student of one college like that .. pathetic institution ..

they plays drama , during each inspection , we see bulk of teachers whenever the inspectors come ..

This "rental" of faculties is a big business & big network is behind that... Teachers comes as groups and stay in some hotels & they acts like regular staff on the inspection day.. and just vanishes with the cash bundles ..

What about the students ??? they are not getting the required faculties and all... and the portions are covered at the end of year by some other visitors ..
The practicals & all just govinda .. Just understand the fact that, there are some colleges running like this ..

This is a very good step taken by the DCI . we appreciate that . Teachers may not like this, because they will not be able to get that extra money ..

But think about the future of students, they are the young blood, at least they have the right to get the minimum facilities for studying. many of them are studying paying lakhs & lakhs ..

Its one of the duty of the DCI " To remove the frauds from the field of dentistry and to maintain the equal dental education standards in the country"

Read the dentist act or text books ..

Of course teachers have the rights to work , wherever they wants, but they have know rights to destroy a students future, by getting that "extra money" these people are doing that..

I have seen very good teachers, this is not related to them. . but understand the fact that, there are frauds in the field.. working in the many colleges at same time ( in paper only) .

This is a very good step taken by DCI , and all the student community will support this.

If you are not a " so called fraud teacher", plz support this.

biometric machines are going to come in schools also.. and many of offices having it.

The government institutions should also be included in the biometrics scanner. We all know that these institutions are grossly understaffed and most of the staff are hardly interested and are irregular.The govt institutions should also be made answerable. Why is the DCI arm twisting the private institutions only,IS IT BECAUSE THEY ARE EASY PREY.
The biometrics should be applied on ALL OR NONE.

Looks like a lot of faculty bashing is happening.What about the managements who are on a money spinning trip? Why is nobody questioning their intentions? In the name of imparting education all one has done is resort to measures that have made a mess of a profession for which everybody is paying a price today.Everyone is equally responsible for the royal mess that has been created. About time situation is brought under control.

Its high time the DCI stopped its mafia like running of dental education in the country. There is a nexus between managements of private dental colleges and the DCI authorities.Only those who are in the favoured circle, are let off the hook! If they really mean business,why not cleanse the entire system right through the length and breadth of this country, not just a few selected colleges. Even after the names of visiting faculty to colleges in the north are given to the DCI, no action is taken! These staff are just called to Delhi, where the high command asks them to justify their monthly visits! Why should biometrics be started in certain colleges, let it begin in all colleges at the same time.
It is absurd for the student community to complain because prior to their admission they can always verify the credibility of an institution in terms of infrastructure and teaching efficiency.After all its a matter of their education and money.
Is the DCI looking into the huge salary discrepancy across colleges for various designations. What has it done for the welfare of the teaching faculty? Do the students know that the salary paid to a BDS staff is a mere Rs.4000? What is the fate of the freshly passed MDS students after they pay and study so hard-they are willing to work in colleges for a sum of Rs.10000, which probably a driver is paid in any MNC.
in this liasion between college managements and DCI, the teaching staff are being harassed. The salary structure does not follow any regulatory norms, they are not relieved,no experience certificate is given and now they are asked for biometrics.
Well, its time that Mr. President pulls up his socks so as to ensure decent uniform pay-scales throught the country if he wants teachers to be total academians. There is no point in managements paying huge amounts and visits at Delhi to compensate for their deficiencies.
THE TIME HAS COME FOR A DENTAL TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION TO BE FORMED BECAUSE WITHOUT TEACHERS THERE CAN BE NO COLLEGE NOR STUDENT NOR COUNCIL.

I do not understand why students are annoyed with teachers complaining about biometrics. Its only a matter of time for them to be on the teaching side! What surprises the teachers is that many of the colleges do not have a strict system in place to check attendance of students. But they have taken up biometrics of teaching faculty seriously!

why are the dental faculty being threatened by managements and DCI?
There is lot of underhand dealing between managements and DCI. Colleges are running a business in the name of education to society. Colleges collect huge sums of money from students & DCI collects its so called 'dues' from college managements, so where does that leave the faculty?
A BDS lecturer is paid Rs3000-4000A fresh MDS is offered 10000-20000 depending on the subject of specialisation. All this for a full time teaching job. Most managements do not pay PF,medical allowance, paid maternity leave etc. An employee of a BPO gets this kind of salary at a much younger age without having to spend 8 years minimum studying. A professor in a city like bangalore is underpaid when compared to his contemporary in the north. The guy who visits colleges in the north is paid double the salary and only for working for a week or less!
When the DCI is aware of all these differences, why have they encouraged and abetted these managements in their malpractice? Surely, there is a lot of money laundering. With biometrics, DCI and management stand to gain. What about the faculty? If the DCI cannot take care of faculty welfare,standard of teaching and learning is definitely going down.

The value of dental education and dental faculty in India has fallen- thanks to the DCI! It has chosen to be blind and deaf to the pittance BDS graduates are paid. A college in Bangalore pays Rs.4000 to its BDS lectures and even asks them to do clerical work in the name of preparing for NAAC accredition.Fresh MDS graduates are paid Rs 10000 and are made to help in the admission process of its sister institutions! So are these managements really interested in the teaching? Is the council really bothered about dental education?

There was such a hullaballo about installing the biometric machines in colleges in the south.The irony is that the guy who came officially from the dci-DR. RAJ ARYA himself is a BDS graduate or should we say an agent/tout/pimp -making a living collecting commissions from managements and teaching staff for their placements as part time faculty in the north! This guy throws his weight around with the staff--his only merit is he is 'close' to 'boss'(the president)

As long as some of the faculty buckle down to these guys, the problem will continue. Its a pity to see some of the senior most teachers, principals standing on one leg at the airport waiting for the ever-delayed flights of the president.Even more shameful is the way some of the dci / ec members/ faculty jostle with each other just to get close to him!
Gosh! Are we talking about educated, white collar class 1 teachers or some desperate men? It gives an impression that the council is run by a don and his henchman. TIME FOR A DENTAL FACULTY ASSOCIATION. PLEASE START ONE AND I AM SURE THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF TEACHERS WAITING TO JOIN!

We hope that the HRD ministry and Mr. Kapil Sibal is listening. Please do away with such ineffecient councils which have allowed all kinds of things to go out of control and lower the value of dental education. They have shown no responsibility or accountability. We request and hope that once a new body is formed, it will comprise of experienced, honest and genuinely responsible persons with absolutely no personal agendas. Of most importance, the existing council members and officials SHOULD NOT be reinstated in these new bodies.Anyway they have already made their gains and should have no complains!

I second the above opinion of starting a faculty association. The management can not be given all the rights to determine the faculty.

I would also urge faculties to suggest a change in the curriculum. Some age old methods such as temporary removable partial dentures which are known to create secondary disease like cancers are still being taught as the mainstream treatment and students have no knowledge about the alternate treatment methods. An overhaul of the total system is on the cards.

i honestly feel that biometric is just one more tool for harrassing the staff...similar to the notification passed last year by the dci, saying that professor in oral pathology was not required in undergraduate colleges..how ridiculous...no professor as head of dept, in a department that teaches two major subjects? shame shame.thare are better ways of monitoring private dental colleges.
i will definitely join an association of faculty members...lets form one.

if we had more outspoken people like Dr Usha Mohandass Dentistry wouldnt be in the mess it is in. certain colleges are charging 40 to 50 lakhs for an MDS seat but their op has less patients than a busy private practitioner. high time there was a common entrance exam for all BDS and MDS seats in the country... but who is listening?
