The government on Thursday moved the Madras High Court against the decision of the Central Council of Indian Medicine of not giving approval to admission of students to the Rajiv Gandhi Government Ayurveda Medical College at Mahe for the current academic year.

“We have filed a writ petition in the Madras High Court and it has been admitted,” Health Secretary G Ragesh Chandra told Express.

The government has pleaded for a direction to Central Council of Indian Medicine to grant conditional approval for the current year, he added.

The college that was started two years ago from the renovated premises of Mahatma Gandhi Government Arts College was conducting a Bachelor’s degree in Ayurveda Medicine and Surgery.

Two batches of students numbering 100 have already been admitted to the ayurveda college. Students who were admitted this year were shifted and given admissions in other colleges, said Chandra.

The approval by Central Council of Indian Medicine to the college was denied citing lack of infrastructure, despite the grant of `10 crore by the Department of Ayush.

Chandra, however, pointed out that the government had initiated steps for the construction of a new building on the same premises. “We have appointed a consultant for the purpose who has been asked to submit a report at the earliest, following which we will float a tender,” Chandra said.
