Indian medical students are getting this unusual punishment

India Nov 11, 2025

At Rajrshi Dashrath Medical College in Ayodhya, students who show up late or slack off on patient care aren't getting detention—they're being told to write "Ram-Ram" over and over in their notebooks.
The number of times depends on how serious the mistake was, and some have already handed in pages filled with the phrase.

Principal explains the method's benefits

The college says it's not about scaring anyone, but about helping students reflect and stay calm.
Principal Dr. Satyajeet Verma explained that this method is meant to encourage self-control and introspection instead of harsh penalties.
Plus, students from other faiths can adapt the practice to fit their own beliefs, making it more inclusive.
The idea is to blend discipline with positive values during medical training.
