Allopathy college admissions are, prdominantly, very costly and the graduates during practice seem to be very anxious for charging high rates, doing unwanted tests on pateints, etc. Here then is a gap for homeopathy graduates in Gujarat to fill, with not socalled 'market' rates which in effect are a principle of auctioning of services to highest bidders.The Gujarat can always set an example to the rest of the govt.as did Mr Narendra Modi's no-nonsense approach to industrial development which has no parallel in other states (except in some jaundiced anti Modi media.)
Authorised university courses on Homeopathy and Ayurveda should be made cheap but only highly promising candidates (say with high IQ/exam scores) should be admitted in them. They must bestir themselves on graduation, to rendering low cost services to rural and poor people. Now these sections are simply ignored for reasonably costed medicare despite the innumerable human rights, women's rights, anti-Indian culture, and social and other noise making activist bodies. The 'boost' in the land of Gandhi, that is reported in this news should become translated into boost for less privileged people's medicare.
