Cabinet nod for quality education in homeopathy

The union cabinet on Tuesday approved a new provision to ensure that homeopathy education is made available only by colleges equipped to guarantee quality.

The decision was taken by the union cabinet at a meeting here under the chairmanship of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

"The amendment to the Homeopathy Central Council Act, 1973, will make provisions relating to granting permission by central government to all homeopathic medical colleges for continuing course/courses, so as to ensure that homeopathy education is given only through colleges which can impart quality education," said an official statement.

It will now be required for all homeopathy colleges to seek the central government's permission for undertaking annual admissions.

This amendment will also ensure quality homeopathy education leading to better healthcare through the homeopathy system of medicine, the statement said.
