He also made an appeal to Governor, S P Malik to shift the Ayurvedic College to newly constructed building at Akhnoor within the stipulated time as the new building fulfills all norms of CCIM. The present set up of Ayurvedic College Jammu is running in two rooms and that too are without infrastructure and don’t fulfill CCIM norms. Over Rs 21 crore were spent on the building by State Government as well as Ayush and this all will go waste if the college is not shifted there, he added.
Moreover he demanded that technically qualified Principal should be appointed for the Government Ayurvedic College as per CCIM norms, faculty posts be created strictly as per the CCIM norms in accordance with five Government Medical Colleges, all the gazette posts be filled up through PSC, the temporary deployment and arrangements should be in accordance with prescribed law after proper advertisement and pick and choose system be avoided, all the required OPDs should be made functional with proper staff as per Schedule IV of CCIM, Nodal Officer post be abolished and the criteria be fulfilled for granting approval to Ayurvedic College by CCIM which has raised many queries in this regard.
