Government medical colleges are conducting practical classes with 6 to 10 cadavers for 200 to 250 students while NMC guidelines allow 1 for 10.

Bharatpur-based NGO Apna Ghar, which provides shelter homes to the destitute and the abandoned, proposed to send bodies to medical studies and wrote to the state government for permission, he added. Arushi Jain, the Anatomy department head at the Government Medical College, Kota, said only 39 bodies had been donated to the medical college since 2010. Singh said he had sought consent from the state government for the proposal. However, SMS Medical College -- the biggest hospital in the state -- in Jaipur and RNT Medical College in Udaipur are exceptions. Government Medical College - Kota is conducting practical classes for its 250 students with 8 to 10 cadavers. Medical colleges in Kota and Jhalawar are grappling with a severe shortage of cadavers, being forced to manage practical studies by grouping students together.
