## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF AYUSH (SHRI SARBANANDA SONOWAL)

- (a) AYUSH colleges established during 2022-2023 are as follows:
- (b) Yes, the number of AYUSH colleges have increased between 2013-2014 and 2022-2023. The details are placed at Annexure-II.
- (c)  and  (d)  As  Public  Health  being  a  State  subject,  the  establishment  of  new  educational institutions for the education system of AYUSH comes under the purview of respective State/UT Governments  including  Andhra  Pradesh. However,  under  the Centrally Sponsored Scheme of National AYUSH Mission (NAM), there is a provision of financial assistance for establishment of new AYUSH Colleges in the States where availability of AYUSH  teaching  institutions is inadequate in  Government Sector. Accordingly, State/UT Governments including Andhra Pradesh may avail eligible financial assistance by submitting the suitable proposals through State Annual Action Plans (SAAPs) as per

Ayurveda: 42

Homoeopathy: 12

Siddha: 02

Sowa Rigpa: 01.

The details are placed at Annexure-I.

the  provision  of  NAM  guidelines.  As  per  the  proposals  received  from  the  State/UT Governments,  the  State-wise  details  of  new  Ayush  Educational  Institutions  approved under  NAM  from  2014-15  to  2022-23,  including  Andhra  Pradesh  is  furnished  at Annexure III.

- (e)  Yes,  the  Government  has  taken  steps  to  ensure  the  quality  of  education  in  AYUSH colleges.

In the process of promotion and development of the Ayush sector and to streamline the education  of  the  Indian  System  of  Medicine  &  Homoeopathy  (ISM  &  H),  the  Central Government by notification, constituted two commissions, namely the National Commission for Indian System of Medicine and the National Commission for Homoeopathy,  to  exercise  the  powers  conferred  upon  and  to  perform  the  functions assigned to them under the NCISM Act 2020 & NCH Act 2020 respectively. The NCISM &  NCH  are  the  regulatory  authorities  for  medical  education  &  institutes  under  the AYUSH  system  of  medicine  across  the  Country.  These  regulatory  bodies  ensure  the availability  of  adequate  and  high-quality  medical  professionals  of  the  Indian  System  of Medicine in all parts of the country.

For  every  Academic  Year,  both  commissions  invite  applications  for  opening  new AYUSH Undergraduate (UG) and Postgraduate (PG) colleges/courses and scrutinize the applications  as  per  the  NCISM  Act,  2020/NCH  Act,  2020  and  its  relevant  regulations made  under  and  accordingly  grant  permission  to  open  new  AYUSH-UG  and  PG colleges/courses in the Country. Further, the commissions also maintain the educational standards of existing colleges of AYUSH-UG and PG courses by regular monitoring as per the minimum standards of undergraduate and postgraduate education regulations made under the relevant Acts.

Admission  in  Undergraduate  (UG)  and  Postgraduate  (PG)  AYUSH  courses  is through  National  Eligibility  cum  Entrance  Test  (NEET)  and  All  India  Ayush  Post Graduate Entrance Test (AIAPGET) respectively.

The steps taken by the Government to ensure the quality of education particularly in Ayurveda,  Siddha  and  Unani  streams  in  AYUSH  colleges  in  the  country  are  placed  at Annexure-IV.

## The steps taken by the Government to ensure the quality of education particularly in Ayurveda, Siddha and Unani streams in AYUSH colleges in the country are as follows:

To  align  with  New  Education  Policy  2020,  global  standards  in  medical  education,  and  to produce meritorious and skilled Ayurveda, Siddha,  Unani  and  Sowa-Rigpa  (ASUS) graduates,  NCISM  has  brought  logical  reforms  in  medical  education  policy,  essential standards in education, educational administration, teaching/training methodologies, assessment  process,  technological  assistance  in  education  etc.,  and  the  same  is  detailed below:

## I. Reforms in Medical Education:

1.  Lecture  and  Non-Lecture  hours: The  ratio  between  Lecture  and  Non-Lecture hours has been reversed to 1:2 to promote professional skill, and soft skills.
2.  Elective  subjects  with  credit-based  system: The  introduction  of  electives  is intended to provide opportunity to students to get introduced, oriented and exposed to various  allied  subjects,  to  build  inter-disciplinary  approach,  and  to  promote  selfdirected/guided learning.
3. Transitional Curriculum: 15-day induction programme (90 hours) with transitional  curriculum  has  been  introduced  for  newly  admitted  students  before  the commencement of regular classes.
4.  Competency Based Syllabus: Has been introduced with well-defined graduate's attributes, programme outcomes, course outcomes, difficulty level, advanced teaching-training  methods  at  par  with  global  standards,  formative  assessment  for continuous evaluation of the students, summative assessment methods, the blue print of the question paper, vertical/horizontal integration, etc.
5.  Early  Clinical  Exposure: Begins  with  the  first  professional  session  to  provide more clinical training exposure and build self-confidence.
6. Methodology for supplementation of modern advances, scientific and technological developments in Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani and Sowa-Rigpa have been introduced.
7.  Rating  of  medical  colleges/institutes: As per the NCISM Act 2020, NCISM is determining rating criteria for medical institutions over and above minimum standards so  as  to  make  the  institutions  to  undergo  the  development  process  towards  higher standards.
8.  Penalising  ASUS  medical  institutions: NCISM  is  taking  measures  such  as warning, imposition of monetary penalty, reducing intake, etc., as in the case of on paper teaching faculties, failure to maintain essential minimum standards, administration malpractice, submission of fake documents etc.
- II. Teachers Quality Improvement Activities by Orientation for Post-Graduate Guides on publication ethics, research integrity, and scientific writing, 60 master trainers have been trained. 2700 teachers in Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani and Sowa-Rigpa teaching institutions have already been trained on Medical Education Technology.

## III. Use of Technology:

1. QR code embedded syllabus: uploaded on NCISM site for the first professional undergraduate program.
2. Elective courses through LMS (Learning Management System)
3. E-logbook for interns is introduced.
4.  Teaching  aids  for  non-lecture  hours:  Advanced  teaching  methods  including simulators,  skill  lab  training,  blended  learning,  flipped  class  room  etc  are prescribed  to  make  activity-based  teaching  and  learning  in  non-lecture  hours more effective.
5. Virtual visitation  of  ASUS  colleges -Hybrid mode  of visitation has been implemented successfully by NCISM by using advanced technology. In this process there  is  no  room  for  any  kind  of  malpractice  and  the  current  method  ensures  more transparency in visitation process.
