The ministry of Ayush is planning an entry-level exam for new teachers of alternative medicine streams — Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homoeopathy — to ensure quality of teaching and research. “This will be a sort of eligibility test for new Ayush teachers. India has an estimated 18,000 Ayush teachers, which includes about 5,000 teachers for homoeopathy, besides an estimated 30,000 Yoga teachers. “Quality teachers interested in teaching and research will produce quality students. We aim to generate world class human resource in Ayush, and this test will be one of the measures we have planned to ensure that,” Vaidya Kotecha said.
