Teaching faculty at several state-run hospitals complain that they have not received their nominal Rs 1,500 honorarium for over two years; also of discrimination over retirements and contracts

You would assume that an honorarium faculty at a prestigious medical institute would imply the peak of well-paid gigs. You would be wrong to assume that, especially in the case of professors, associate professors and assistant professors at 14 state-run medical colleges, three state-run dental colleges and four state-run ayurvedic colleges, who are paid a measly Rs 1,500 per month; for both their lectures and expert medical services.
