Shimla, March 11 -- Chief minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu chaired a workshop at IGMC Shimla organised on the occasion of International Women's Day, where women who had performed outstanding work were honoured on Wednesday. During the event, the CM announced that staff nurses pursuing higher education would now receive their full salary instead of the earlier 40%. He said that the recruitment process for 80 Assistant Professors in the Medical Education Department would begin next month. He said the health sector in the state would witness major improvements within a year and many new employment opportunities would be created in the coming years. He said that the government was rapidly introducing reforms and providing high-end technology in the health sector. Sukhu said that the state government wants to end appointments on the outsource basis, as it leads to the exploitation of young people. However, to ensure employment opportunities, new posts of Assistant Staff Nurses would be created along with regular Staff Nurse positions. Recruitment of nurses batch-wise was also being carried out. He further said that the government has established an Overseas Recruitment Department, which keeps a complete track and record of young people going abroad for employment. He also announced a grant of Rs. 5 lakh for the Nursing Scholar Society....
