Whereas, the Andhra Pradesh Government Medical and Dental

Institutions (Conversion into Semi-Autonomous Institutions) Act, 2007 (Act
No.31/2007) was enacted to provide Semi-Autonomous status to the
Government Medical/Dental Colleges and Institutions for effective functional
Autonomy.

And Whereas, the Semi-Autonomous institutions are functioning since
2008. However, after the implementation of University Grants Commission
(UGC) scales, the remuneration offered to the teachers in the Rajiv Gandhi
Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS), semi-autonomous institutions is not
attractive. The faculty structure and organizational chart needs

modification as per Medical Council of India (MCI) regulations. Hence, the
semi-autonomous institutions have to be converted to regular Government
institutions for the sake of administrative convenience and for effective
functioning.

And whereas, it has, become necessary to repeal the Andhra Pradesh
Government Medical and Dental Institutions (Conversion into SemiAutonomous Institutions) Act, 2007.
