Ayush Dept – On perusal of the inspection reports of the inspections as carried out by the CCH inspectors/ visitors of some of the existing/ newly established Homoeopathy Medical Colleges, it has been found that many medical colleges are not fulfilling the minimum standards, norms of CCH with regard to availability of infrastructure, teaching and non-teaching staff. Similarly, Central Government has also received complaints in this regard. This scenario gives apprehension that there may be possibility of growth of substandard education. Similarly, the existence of such substandard colleges may create a possibility of adopting malpractices and unfair practices by the colleges.
To ensure the quality of Homoeopathy medical education and safeguarding the interest of students, it is necessary to adopt urgent measures to regularly monitor the Homoeopathy Medical Colleges. In each Homoeopathy Medical College every year minimum four examinations,i.e., 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th BHMS Professional Courses are being conducted. In view of the objective of the HCC (Amendment) Act,2002 to ensure imparting of quality education, to inspect the Homoeopathy Medical College at least once in a year appears to be essential. Therefore, in order to preserve the conformity and spirit of the HCC Act, 1973 specifically read with the provisions of section 17 & 18 and with the provision of Regulation 6(2) and 10(2) of HCC (Inspector and Visitation) Regulations, 1982, Central Government desires that with immediate effect CCH may carry out the following:- To carry out the inspection/ visitation of all Homoeopathy Medical Colleges minimum once in a year during January to March of each calendar year to ascertain the availability of teachers, equipment, accommodation, training and other facilities as specified in Homoeopathy(MSE) Regulations, 1983 and submit their report and recommendation to the Central Government by the end of April every calendar year.
