    Yes. It is different from internship. It is called COMPULSORY ROTATORY RESIDENTIAL INTERNSHIP. Mandatory for all MBBS students.

    Rural internship should be focused in developing the medical facilities in the rural areas apart from treating people.

    It is called COMPULSORY ROTATORY RESIDENTIAL INTERNSHIP. Mandatory for all MBBS students. Has to be done in an hospital for 1 year, only after this u can get the graduation Certificate from your university. But rural service is when u r posted in some rural PHCs across the state after u have completed your internship. It is not mandatory in tamilnadu and in many other states. There is service bond for post graduates but I am pretty sure it is not there for ugs.

    The Compulsory Rotatory Residential Internship (CRRI) programme is a 12-month programme in hospitals attached to the medical college of the students. The NEET MBBS internship is essential for the completion of the MBBS course. For BDS students, the CRRI is provided by the Dental Council of India.

    It's up to each individual to do the internship in rural areas or other places. But Indian villages are far behind in the overall development of the country. People are poor, education is less and medical facility is minimum. So definitely India needs more health professionals who is willing to work in rural areas. It depends on each individuals choice and commitment.

    In India,there are many poor families who are suffering from many diseases. Govt. hospitals are there but there is negligible facility for the treatment of rural patients.Some cannot afford costly medicines and other expensive treatments to cure. Hence,rural internship program should be scheduled for an MBBS degree.

    Hi Harender ji,
    To give it a more balanced view, i feel the duration of the internship be made 6 months as compulsory and rest 6 months based on the students interest and also rural internship should be be focused in developing the medical facilities in the rural areas apart from treating people

    Hi Everyone,
    I am in favor of rural internship because if we want India to grow as a country, people living in rural area should be healthy because still maximum population of India resides in villages.

    Hi,
    I believe, rural internship should be made compulsory because once the doctor gets a job, he is least interested in visiting rural areas , only very few doctors take initiative and go to villages.
    If the rural internship is made compulsory, it will definitely benefit people living in the rural areas

    It should be start but should not apply it as compulsory, it will help poor people in respect of health issue, it will not only increase their living standard it will also increase GDP of the nation, man power in nation and also job opportunity. but making it compulsory may create some issues, crimes and so on. every trainee should take this initiative on their self.
