The Maharashtra State Association of Resident Doctors (CENTRAL MARD) has formed its new committee for the 2026-27 term, starting May 15, 2026. Two key figures have been elected to lead the organisation: Dr. Atharva Shinde as President and Dr. Sachin Palwade as General Secretary. Both will guide the association’s efforts over the next year. Dr. Atharva Shinde, from RGMC Thane, takes on the role of President. He emphasised that CENTRAL MARD represents every resident doctor in Maharashtra, aiming to protect their rights and interests. Dr. Sachin Palwade, based at Sir JJ Hospital in Mumbai, will serve as General Secretary.

The committee will operate democratically, ensuring open discussions with government bodies and medical institutions. Key partners include the Directorate of Medical Education and Research (DMER) and the Maharashtra University of Health Sciences (MUHS). The association also thanked resident doctors for their support during the committee’s formation.

CENTRAL MARD’s priorities include improving workplace safety, academic reforms, and welfare programmes for resident doctors. The group plans to strengthen communication with authorities to address concerns effectively. The newly elected committee will focus on academic growth, professional development, and the well-being of resident doctors across Maharashtra. Their work begins on May 15, 2026, with a clear mandate to engage with stakeholders and advocate for systemic improvements.
