Boottom line
Majority of the homoeopathic colleges in India are substandard even though CCH inspect them regularly. CCH allowed colleges to start MD course who are still lacking the infra structure even for under graduation. Moreover some of the members of CCH have either their own colleges or investments in various private Homoeopathic Colleges all over the country – everbody knows the standard of that colleges.
The Central Council of Homoeopathy (CCH) itself the apex body to monitor the standards of Homoeopathic education in India – is diluted the standards of education in Homoeopathy.
This is due to immense lobbying by various vested interests, flouting all the established norms, standards. eligibility, and quality of Homoeopathic education in our country. No where in the country and no field of education, especially in medicine we find the external courses (External MD) being offered at the cost of regular courses
The government of India have received many complaints about the malfunctioning of CCH and constituted a commission to inquire into the activity of CCH over a period earlier. Irregularities and corruptions done in CCH over a period of time have caught the eye of law makers and the Govt. of India
