Tea Board sets 2025 plucking and making timeline
Tea Board of India has announced that tea plucking and manufacturing for the 2025 cropping season will commence only after winter dormancy ends, allowing tea bushes to sprout fresh buds.
Himachal Pradesh government has decided in principle, to establish a common cadre for future faculty appointments in all government medical colleges and super-specialty institutions across the state to enhance equity, operational efficiency, and the overall quality of medical education and healthcare services.
Stating this here on Sunday, Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu reiterated the state government’s commitment to improving healthcare services and strengthening medical education.
He emphasized that the establishment of a common cadre will create a robust system, ensuring higher standards in medical education and healthcare delivery across the State.
At present, faculty appointments follow a college-specific cadre system leading to administrative redundancies, inconsistencies in service conditions, and acute faculty shortages, particularly in newly established medical colleges, he said.
To address these challenges, the common cadre system will create a unified structure for faculty recruitment, career progression, and inter-institutional transfers, ensuring a fair and transparent framework for faculty management.
“This initiative will standardize recruitment procedures, training programmes, and career advancement opportunities while harmonizing service conditions across all government medical institutions. This will allow for better faculty utilization, ensuring that resources are efficiently allocated where they are needed most,” he said.
The reform also aims to strengthen medical education by eliminating disparities in career growth and fostering a merit-based system for faculty promotions, he said.
Additionally, it will enhance the quality of healthcare services, as better-managed institutions will directly contribute to improved patient care, said Sukhu.
