Hyderabad, June 12 -- Students from private medical colleges across Telangana have voiced concern over the non-payment of stipends. Many allege they are being paid meagre amounts, while others say they have not received their stipends for over two months.

Interns from various districts claim that despite repeated requests, the medical college authorities continue to ignore their demands. They further allege that the institutions are not complying with Government Order 59, issued in 2023, which mandates stipend payments to interns and postgraduate medical students.

As per GO 59, the stipend for interns must be increased by 15 percent every two years, with the current prescribed amount set at Rs 25,906 per month.
