Ayurveda faculty is boosted with the technocracy in 2012. In 2011-12 academic years what is not possible with full staff is going to be fulfilled in 2012-13 even with less staff. When I see these relaxations and alterations, I recollect the long back story of Murphy Pocket Radio. When the pocket Radio is brought in to market it is quite big in size. To get the Radio popularized the company gave big pocket uniform and one Radio to all his workers. The pocket size grows as the component grows in this occasion. Now instead of the growth the Ayurveda is shrinking. Probably our mechanism thought that to come out of half bottle impression, the best solution is to shift the bottle content in to a small bottle, where the content is seen as FULL in the new small bottle.
The minimum bed strength for a teaching hospital attached toAyurvedicCollegeshould be 100 for up to admission strength of 50 students per annum. Up to 50 students or less than that require a total of 35 teaching faculty in which the Professors and Readers strength is 20 and the rest of 15 are Lecturers as par CCIM norms speak for the year 2011-12 admissions. Few departments have been given an option of showing either Professor or Reader. The distribution of Teaching Staff for Various Departments of Ayurved Colleges up to 50 students or less is after Gandhiselvan Norms given in the table. [Source]

As the CCIM requirement in the 2012-13 visitations, many relaxations are offered. From the reliable sources we came to know that the number game of the teaching staff is still reduced and molded to make a favor to the Managements. As the requirement is made to 90% occupancy, the faculty required became 32 for 50 students. But here the fun is 50% of the higher faculty is accepted. So, the number of higher faculty condensed to 10 and the rest in 32 can be lecturer cadre, i.e. 20 teachers of lecturer category, where the provision doesn’t exist to accommodate more than 15. At the least it is supposed to be 15 lectures and 17 higher faculties (Professors / Readers). The fate of the Ayurveda colleges is known soon after the CCIM visitations.
