Stipend not paid by private dental college

I completed by BDS from private dental college in Punjab. Last year was suppose to be paid internship as per DCI.

The college didn't gave us any stipend amounts. However, after completion of internship the college gave us internship completion certificates which clearly mentions that I have completed my one year paid rotatory internship.

I asked my college to write me an internship verification letter with my job duties with the amount of stipend paid as the certificate suggests it was paid.

They have stopped responding to my emails.

I then raised the issue to DCI and Punjab Governor via email. Its been 10 days and haven't received any updates from their side as well.

Kindly guide me how can i escalate this matter in a proper manner and obligate relevant authorities to take action against college?

 

Thanks

Issue legal demand notice to the college make Dental Coucil as a party, followed by suit for recovery of the amount due through a local prudent lawyer.

Thanks for you response Sir.

Few more questions:

1. Is it advisable to file RTI with the designated University to which college is affiliated seeking if any information regarding stipend was shared with them. I know college is private but University is a government public body?

2. Can anyone on my behalf file for a legal case without requiring my physical presence in court for hearings as I am not in country (if we reached out to this situation)?

You can engage the services of an experienced lawyer in the local instead of looking for someone from far off distance through this media
