Attendance Pressure Alleged in KGMU Nursing Cohort After Student’s Dengue‑Related Death

The tragic demise of Divyanshi Yadav has shone a spotlight on the intense attendance pressure many trainees face. According to statements collected during the September 21 protest, she continued to attend college despite dengue because she feared an unexcused absence would be marked against her attendance tally and delay graduation.

Participants urged KGMU to adopt a more compassionate leave framework aligned with practices at other premier medical institutions.
