Govt mulling over having a National AYUSH Council
PTI | Updated: Nov 16, 2016, 03.44 PM ISTNEW DELHI: The government is mulling over a proposal to have a National AYUSH Council, on the lines of Medical Council of India, to establish and maintain the standard of education of traditional medicine as well as recognise the qualification and register AYUSH practitioners in the country.
We have received a proposal. The final decision will be taken at a higher level," said Dr Manoj Nesri, Adviser (Ayurveda) in the AYUSH Ministry.
The ministry is currently preparing a white paper on the matter, which once whetted by MoS AYUSH, Shripad Yesso Naik, it will be sent to NITI Aayog, he added.
As the proposal is still in its nascent stage, senior officials are debating whether there should be an independent National AYUSH Council or whether it should be part of the National Medical Commission, mooted by NITI Aayog as a replacement for Medical Council of India.
In view of the previous experiences, how AYUSH Systems were not given importance til the new Ministry was created by our Hon'ble Prime Minister Narendra Modiji,We feel that there is a need to have National AYUSH COUNCIL separately
