PG students at the government dental college and hospital have not received their stipends for the past three months. Students are worried, asking, “No money even for the mess, how will we send money home?” Parents are also facing financial difficulties. Despite the delay, students are managing day by day without lodging complaints, demanding that the government release funds as soon as possible.
