This marks the first time a medical student from Jharkhand has been appointed to such a key national position within the IMA MSN.

According to the IMA, Dr Singh was selected for this responsibility due to his leadership and commitment to students’ welfare. He played a key role in establishing the MSN wing in all medical colleges of Jharkhand and was actively involved in supporting junior doctors, notably advocating for justice in the case involving RG Kar Medical College, Kolkata.
“It is a matter of pride to represent the Central Zone in the national body. During my tenure, I will serve as the voice of medical students from these four states and remain committed to resolving their issues,” said Dr Aman Singh.
