UP is all set to become the first state in the country to launch a two-year diploma inhomeopathy pharmacy (also called homeopathy compounder course) that would produce homeopathy pharmacists for operating government dispensaries in the state.
Two government homeopathy colleges in the state - one each in Lucknow and Allahabad with 100 seats for the course - would provide training to the aspiring candidates in the academic session starting this year.
Uttarakhand has also shown interest in launching the course to bolster homeopathy dispensaries in the state in the next year.
All the 200 seats under the course have been filled through competition, and the course is all set to make its beginning this year, said Dr Jai Ram Rai, registrar, Homeopathy Medicine Board (UP), while talking to TOI on Monday. Saying that the eligibility criterion for application under the course has been fixed as intermediate pass-out in science stream, he also said that the move would bolster homeopathy pharmacy besides reviving the government dispensaries.
It may be mentioned here that Dr Rai was in the city to attend 256th birth anniversary celebrations of Dr Christian Fredric Samuel Hahnemann, marked as the World Homeopathy Day. The programme was organized by the Banaras Homeopathic Doctors Association at Banaras Hindu University (BHU) on Sunday evening.
It is also worth mentioning that a total of 1,670 government homeopathy dispensaries exist in UP, the maximum in the country. In addition, nearly 29,000 registered homeopathy doctors practice in the state which is the highest in the country.
As per Dr R C Yadav, general secretary, Provincial Homeopathy Teachers' Association (UP), efforts are also being made to restart the three government homeopathy colleges at Lucknow, Bijnore and Jaunpur that were recently closed by the UP government. Presently, there are seven government homeopathy colleges in the state but the number is insufficient to meet the demand of homeopathy doctors in the state. Two new government colleges in Aligarh and Gorakhpur are also likely to open soon to strengthen homeopathy services in the state.
