Department
of AYUSH (Government of India) sent Minimum Standard Draft for Ayurveda
colleges on 15th June 2012 for issuing Gazette Notification, but in this
Minimum Standard, regarding less numbers of teachers, reducing of bed strength
and extension of teachers age (70 yrs) is hampering quality education, clinical
and practical training material and unemployment of young generation so at that
time President in interest of Science, young generation teachers and quality
education did not issue same draft sent by Government and President referred
the matter to Executive Committee Meeting on 19th June 2012. Executive
Committee decided this matter should be sent for detail discussion
in Ayurveda Committee as per Section 22 of IMCC Act 1970 this matter is
discussed and finalised by Ayurveda Committee and General Body.
After
the Election of President (05.07.2012), newly elected President Dr. V.P.Tyagi without discussion
and approval of Ayurveda Committee and General Body and even without consent of
State Governments and in avoidance and noncompliance of Section 22 of IMCC Act
sent notification to publish in Gazettee.
CCIM
has issued the notification in which upto 60 students intake capacity colleges
will require 30 teachers and for 60-100 students intake capacity 43 teachers
will be required due to which near about 3500 teachers will be unemployed and
in near future passed out MD scholars appointment will be stopped . Presently
lecturers are getting salary of near about Rs. 20-30-35000 per month but in
coming situation within 2-3 months it will fall down to Rs. 8-10000 per month.
In
this notification teachers age limit has been extended upto 70 years; so new PG
generation job opportunities in future will come to an end, retired teachers
are huge in numbers who are available (only on paper) on less salary then why
college management will appoint new generation post graduate teachers on high
salary.
Nearly
about 235 Ayurveda colleges are running under intake capacity of 60 students .
As per prescribed CCIM new regulation higher faculty professors will not be
essential so any teacher in coming future will not be promoted as professor and
they will retire on the post of Reader only.
Previously
Council had made Biometric machine mandatory to stop the malpractice of false
and on paper teachers but with this notification Biometric machine has
become desirable which will ruin the efforts and once again
the same practices will restart and badly affect the future of teachers,
students and worsen the quality education.
Without
sufficient teaching, clinical and practical training how can Quality Education
be achieved and without Quality Education how Standardization be obtained to
flourish Ayurveda Globally with prestige and dignity.
With
this notification colleges which had closed in last three to
four years will start mushrooming again, this diluted Minimum
Standards will help colleges to get permission and then, these colleges will
not be visited for next five years as per notified Minimum Standards.
