BAREILLY: The state government has recently sent a letter to authorities at Mahatma Jyotiba Phule (MJP) Rohilkhand University that Unani and Ayurvedic colleges situated in Rohilkhand region should become part of the varsity. There are nearly 10 Unani and Ayurvedic colleges located in Rohilkhand

Confirming the development, vice-chancellor of MJP Rohilkhand University Prof Mushahid Husain said, "The state government has sent such letters to many state universities and have told them that Unani and Ayurvedic colleges situated in their respective areas will be affiliated with them. As nine districts comes under the jurisdiction of Rohilkhand University, the colleges in this region will soon become part of Rohilkhand varsity."

At present, Unani and Ayurvedic colleges situated in nine districts of Rohilkhand region are affiliated with Chhatrapati Shahu Ji Maharaj University, Kanpur. According to authorities at Rohilkhand University, as that varsity is loaded with work, the state government has decided to attach these colleges with Rohilkhand varsity.


The authorities at Rohilkhand University have started preparing the list of such colleges. However, according to authorities at university, the Unani and ayurvedic colleges will not be able to become part of Rohilkhand Varsity from next academic session 2015-16. "It is a long procedure as authorities of such colleges will first take no objection certificate (NOC) from state government and will later produce it to us. After this, we verify their infrastructure and if there is any irregularities like absence of laboratories, we ask them to work on it. When all the required standards are met in colleges, they will be granted affiliation," said Prof Husain. He added that it is a time taking process and will stretch for nearly a year.

According to officials of university, only one Unani college- Hakim Rais Unani Medical College and Hospital, Sabhal under Moradabad district— is located in this region but there are many Ayurvedic colleges situated here.

After such Unani and Ayurvedic colleges will be affiliated to Rohilkhand University, it will be the authorities at varsity who will conduct exams, announce results and look after other administrative works. "It will also help the students studying in these colleges as for any administrative related work, they are made to run to Kanpur. It led to wastage of time and money," said Sharad Kumar, a final year student of Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (BAMS), SRM Government Ayurvedic College and Hospital. He added that it will also facilitate students studying in colleges of adjoining districts as Bareilly is closer than Kanpur.
