NMC Approves Doctor Services for Char Dham Yatra

NMC's approval for doctors to serve during Char Dham Yatra boosts health services and offers practical experiencenews

The National Medical Commission (NMC) has given its nod to a proposal from the Uttarakhand Health Department, allowing postgraduate trainee doctors to voluntarily provide medical services during the Char Dham Yatra.
This landmark decision is seen as a boost to Uttarakhand's health preparations and a potential blueprint for future public health initiatives. Offering a unique convergence of social service, training, and hands-on experience, this initiative marks a significant opportunity for the nation&rsquo;s budding doctors.
Health Secretary Dr. R Rajesh Kumar expressed readiness to deliver top-notch health services during the Yatra, as directed by Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami and Health Minister Dr. Dhan Singh Rawat.
In a noteworthy development, postgraduate medical professionals, including those pursuing MD, MS, and DNB, can now earn a District Residency Program (DRP) certificate through their service on the Yatra.
The NMC has confirmed that this service will count towards their clinical rotation or DRP, eliminating the need for an additional three-month training period.
Chief Minister Dhami hailed the NMC's approval as a step towards enhancing the safety and convenience of the Char Dham Yatra, reinforcing the collaborative spirit between central and state governments for public welfare.
He highlighted that the initiative not only ensures robust health security for the pilgrims but also allows young doctors to cultivate their skills with a sense of devotion to service.
Health Secretary Dr. Kumar underscored the dual benefit of aiding pilgrims and equipping trainee doctors with practical experience to handle medical and emergency scenarios in challenging Himalayan conditions.
The health department is committed to orchestrating necessary arrangements for the successful execution of the initiative.
NMC Secretary Dr. Raghav Langer commended the synergy between academic and public health sectors that this initiative represents.
He noted the critical role doctors will play amidst the challenging conditions, including large crowds and difficult weather during the Yatra.
The Uttarakhand government will ensure suitable accommodation, meals, training, service certificates, and other essential facilities for these doctors. Enhanced medical units are set to be established along the Yatra routes, guaranteeing prompt and expert healthcare for pilgrims.
Following the NMC's approval, medical institutions nationwide have responded positively to trainee doctors' involvement. Many young doctors view this as a significant milestone for service-oriented career advancement.
This initiative epitomizes cooperative federal governance, showcasing a united effort by state and central entities to innovate and implement partnership-driven solutions, ensuring a safe and smooth religious pilgrimage.

In a significant step to promote tourism and year-round pilgrimage in Uttarakhand, Chief Minister Shri Pushkar Singh Dhami inaugurated the Winter Char Dham Yatra with a special puja at the Omkareshwar Temple in Ukhimath, the winter abode of Baba Kedarnath. The Chief Minister prayed for the prosperity of the people and the holistic development of the state.
As part of his visit, CM Dhami assessed the arrangements made for the Winter Char Dham Yatra and directed officials to ensure a smooth and comfortable experience for devotees. Highlighting the initiative&rsquo;s potential, he stated that opening the Char Dham pilgrimage in winters would boost tourism, attract visitors throughout the year, and bring attention to other lesser-known tourist destinations in the state.
&ldquo;This initiative will open new avenues for tourism and provide significant opportunities for economic empowerment of local communities through increased employment,&rdquo; said the Chief Minister.
Ukhimath serves as the winter abode of Baba Kedarnath, while Pandukeshwar in Chamoli district hosts Lord Badri Vishal. Maa Yamuna is worshipped at Kharsali, and Maa Ganga&rsquo;s winter abode is in Mukhwa, Uttarkashi. The Winter Char Dham Yatra allows pilgrims to continue their spiritual journey in these revered locations during the colder months.
The event was also graced by notable dignitaries, including Shrimati Asha Nautiyal, Shri Bharat Chaudhary, and Shri Ajendra Ajay, Chairman of the Shri Badri-Kedarnath Temple Committee.

The Himalayan shrines of Yamunotri, Badrinath, Kedarnath and Gangotri are commonly known as Char Dham.

Mountains, wildflower pastures, waterfalls, verdant slopes - amid all this natural beauty, plastic waste and other garbage is literally killing the rich Himalayan ecosystem.
This crime against nature is being committed near Kedarnath in Uttarakhand, as per news agency ANI. Devotees are currently rushing to the hill state for the Char Dham Yatra.
Experts are calling for more sensitivity among tourists and pilgrims, citing the 2013 flood disaster in Kedarnath. Prof MS Negi, HoD - Geography at Garhwal Central University said, "Plastic waste at a sensitive location like Kedarnath doesn't only have an impact on faith, but also on safety. Plastic will lead to quick erosion after rains. Quick erosion leads to big landslides. Therefore, it is very dangerous. Secondly, a source of faith should be kept clean. When plastic garbage covers religious places, then national and international tourists and pilgrims will be affected."
Prof MC Nautiyal, director of HAPPRC at the university told ANI, "Tourism pressure on Kedarnath, Badrinath etc has increased a lot. If tourist pressure increases, then throughout the route, plastic and other types of garbage builds up. It can be taken to deeper forest areas by natural elements. There aren't any proper sanitation facilities there. That's why waste usually ends up in nature."

The Supreme Court on Tuesday allowed double lane widening of roads for the Char Dham project in view of security concerns.
The top court also set up an oversight committee headed by former Justice A K Sikri to report to it directly on the project.
The oversight committee shall receive all support from the Defence Ministry, Ministry of Road Transport, Uttarakhand Government and all district magistrates.
The strategic 900-km-long Char Dham project worth Rs 12,000 crore aims to provide all-weather connectivity to four holy towns -- Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath -- in Uttarakhand.
The court was hearing the Centre's plea seeking modification of the September 8, 2020 order, which had asked the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) to follow the 2018 circular stipulating carriageway width of 5.5 metre on the ambitious Char Dham highway project, which goes up to the border with China.
In its application, the MoD had said it seeks modification of the order and directions that the national highways from Rishikesh to Mana, from Rishikesh to Gangotri, and from Tanakpur to Pithoragarh may be developed to two-lane configuration.
