Separate AYUSH University will marginalise AYUSH sector, claims ayurveda college teachers’ body
The All Kerala Government Ayurveda College Teachers’ Association is opposing the government's plan to establish a separate AYUSH university. They argue that an integrated approach within the existing Kerala University of Health Sciences is more effective for academic and research standards.
Why it matters
The debate reflects broader tensions in health policy regarding whether to integrate traditional medicine with modern systems or maintain separate institutional structures.
The All Kerala Government Ayurveda College Teachers’ Association has opposed the proposed move to set up a separate AYUSH university, which it says will marginalise AYUSH education sector. In a statement here, the association said that the government’s announcement to establish a separate university for the AYUSH sector, along with the formation of an official-level committee to draft a Bill for the purpose, has not been made on the basis of a sound academic and health policy perspective. It has appealed to the government to reconsider the decision.
