New Delhi
Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Tuesday announced that the Delhi Cabinet has approved a proposal to raise the monthly stipend of nursing interns from ₹500 to ₹13,150.
Calling the move “long overdue”, Ms. Gupta said the decision would not only provide financial support but also ensure that nursing interns feel their work is acknowledged by the government.
“This hike will take effect immediately and apply to all eligible nursing interns for the duration of their internship. The dedication and service of nursing professionals will now be formally recognised in line with standards set by the central government,” the Chief Minister said in a statement.
The Cabinet also cleared the launch of the ‘Delhi Mitra App – Public Grievance Redress System’, a one-stop platform to handle complaints related to multiple authorities.
