The state government approved a monthly stipend of Rs 25,000 for MBBS interns, effective from October 1.
Chhattisgarh’s health department announced that the monthly stipend for MBBS interns will be increased to Rs 25,000, starting October 1. The decision was taken by the state government to align intern remuneration with rising living costs and to attract more medical graduates to the state’s hospitals.
The new rate replaces the previous stipend, which was considerably lower, and will be paid directly to interns attached to government medical colleges and teaching hospitals across the state. Officials said the hike is part of a broader effort to improve training conditions for future doctors.
The announcement has been welcomed by medical student bodies, who view the increase as a long‑awaited relief. Implementation details, including the exact disbursement mechanism, will be communicated to institutions in the coming weeks.
