New Delhi: A group of private ayurvedic colleges from Punjab today alleged corruption in Central Council of Indian Medicine and demanded a CBI probe into it.
Announcing their plans to stage a day-long dharna at Jantar Mantar, convener of Forum Against Malpractice and Corruption, Raj Kumar, alleged the Council has set highly impractical norms for granting annual approval to ayurvedic colleges, thus giving rise to corruption.
He said the Forum, led by Jalandhar-based Dayanand Ayurvedic College, had written to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi and Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad, highlighting "rampant bribery and corruption" in the sector and urged the government to order a CBI probe.
"There are 250 ayurvedic colleges in India which are regulated by CCIM. The norms set for approvals by the Council are so rigid that no honest management can fulfil them. Last year, the council had rejected approvals for induction of students to the five-year BAMS course," Kumar claimed.
