A high Level Committee Set Up by CCRH to Deal with Issues Related to False Propaganda Against Homoeopathy: AYUSH Minister

The Central Council for Research in Homoeopathy has set up a high-level committee to tackle false propaganda against homoeopathy, the Union Minister of the Department of Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homoeopathy (Ayush Ministry) Shripad Yesso Naik told the Rajya Sabha on August 8, 2017.
“Homoeopathy is an officially recognised system under the Ministry of Ayush,” said Naik. “CCRH and National Institute of Homoeopathy are apex bodies under Ministry of Ayush in the field of research and education respectively.”
CCRH has an institutional mechanism wherein a committee consisting of Chairpersons of different Committees including Scientific Advisory Committee, Sub-committee on clinical research and Basic & Fundamental research has been set up to prevent false propaganda against homoeopathy and other related issues.
In 2014, Australia’s top medical research organisation, the National Health and Medical Research Council, had said homoeopathy had no impact at all and was “no more effective than a placebo”. The Ayush Ministry had criticised the findings of the global study and said they were contrary to the findings in India.
