PG medical students urge govt to disburse pending stipends
Hyderabad: Postgraduate medical students, interns and foreign medical graduates have appealed to the govt for immediate release of pending stipends, alleging prolonged delays in disbursement.
“The delay has caused severe financial hardship, as many are dependent on stipends for accommodation, food, educational expenses and family responsibilities. There is concern over rising mental stress and anxiety among students and interns due to the uncertainty over payments,” said Dr Venkatesh Kumar Durgam, a senior resident.
Despite repeated representations to authorities, the issue remains unresolved, they alleged. The group urged the state govt, chief secretary and finance department officials to establish a streamlined system to ensure stipends are credited on or before the 10th of every month.

Medical college a day after the crash of an Air India flight shortly after takeoff, on June 13, 2025 in Ahmedabad, India. The medical college and Civil Hospital are the main service points for families to identify deceased family members. An Air India Boeing 787 Dreamliner, flight AI-171, carrying 242 passengers and crew members en route from Ahmedabad to London Gatwick, crashed shortly after takeoff on June 12, 2025, after the pilot issued a mayday call to air traffic control. The aircraft crashed into the densely populated Meghani Nagar area near Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport, resulting in a massive explosion and fire due to the heavy fuel load for the international journey, with rescue operations ongoing.
