Chhattisgarh Hikes MBBS Intern Stipend by 30% to ₹20,670

In a massive wave of positive news for the medical fraternity, the Chhattisgarh state government has officially approved a long-standing demand, announcing a 30% hike in the monthly stipend for intern doctors working across all government medical colleges in the state.

The New Pay Structure

Under the newly issued amendment by the state health department, the monthly stipend for MBBS interns has been increased from the existing ₹15,900 to a revised ₹20,670 per month.

The decision, spearheaded by Chhattisgarh Health Minister Shyam Bihari Jaiswal, comes as a crucial administrative relief for young doctors. For years, medical interns have been highlighting the massive discrepancy between their grueling clinical workload and their financial compensation. The state government acknowledged that a stipend hike was necessary to keep up with rising inflation and to fairly compensate the junior doctors who essentially serve as the backbone of the public healthcare and emergency response systems.
