Following a statewide protest by MBBS interns in July over the demand, the state health department proposed a 20% hike in the stipend.

In MP, the tuition fee has doubled while the interns' stipend is Rs 14,337. Therefore, they have demanded that it be increased to Rs 30,000. The stipend for MBBS interns in MP should also be hiked on the pattern of Uttar Pradesh."
