Ayurveda course finally recognised at BHU

Varanasi: Banaras Hindu University's (BHU) students of Ayurveda can now breathe easy, as the department of Ayush has recognised Ayurveda courses for the session 2011-2012, which was in a pending status for many years. On Wednesday, the university received a confirmation letter for the same.

It can be noted that about 50 students were enrolled in BAMS course and 25 students were enrolled in different post graduate courses of the faculty of Ayurveda, BHU in session with no recognition got from Ayush department and Central Council of Indian Medicine. Each year, the university gets this recognition. However, for the academic session of 2011-2012, this was not given.
