Besides holding deliberations regarding the reservation of faculty seats for Schedule Castes and Schedule Tribes, the meeting will also finalise the recommendations of the Standing Finance Committee and Academic Committee apart from looking into as many as 8 to 10 individual inquiries of employees. Recommendations for the post of Dean, PGI, will be made besides final approval sought for the initiation of two year courses of Masters in Hospital Administration and Masters in Blood Transfusion. According to Dr B.K. Sharma, Director PGI: "After becoming Additional Professors, the promotions are very slow and their is complaint of stagnation. The proposal to promote 30 per cent of Additional Professors to Professor will go a long way in solving the problem."

It takes four years for an Assistant Professor to become an Associate Professor and another four years for Associate Professor to become Additional Professor. All these promotions are after rigourous selection exercises and only 75 per cent of Associate Professors become Additional Professors.

In the absence of any criteria to promote Additional Professors almost 50 per cent of doctors have been awaiting promotion even after putting in 10 to 20 years of service.

A proposal to increase the facilities given to the PGI faculty members will also be considered. The facilities include increase in the amount reimbursed for attending international conferences from Rs 40,000 to Rs 80,000. Also charges for attending two national conferences in a year and one international conference in two years, increased telephone calls besides increase in the amount for purchasing books and other journals.
