15% of Ayurveda Colleges Face Recognition Crisis in Madhya Pradesh
In Madhya Pradesh, about 10-15% of Ayurveda colleges are at risk of losing recognition for the 2026-27 academic session.
This is because they don't have enough teachers and don't meet the new rules set by the National Commission for Indian System of Medicine (NCISM).
The NCISM is checking all colleges and will fine those that have teachers only on paper and not in reality.
Colleges that don't follow the rules could lose their recognition and have fewer seats available for students.
10-15% of private Ayurveda colleges in Madhya Pradesh risk losing recognition for the 2026-27 academic session.
The crisis is due to a shortage of teaching staff and failure to meet NCISM standards.
NCISM is enforcing stricter regulations, including biometric attendance systems and penalties for ghost faculty.
Colleges face fines and seat reductions if they do not comply with the new rules.
Government Ayurveda colleges in Burhanpur and Jabalpur are also facing faculty and facility shortages.
