“The continuous improvement in the education system of homoeopathy will make this method more attractive to young students,” the President said.

“The involvement of a large number of young people is essential for the bright future of homoeopathy,” she added.

The President also emphasised the need to encourage scientific rigour to “increase confidence in this method of treatment among people.”

She noted that scientific research may enhance the proficiency and authenticity of homoeopathy, leading to its wider acceptance.

“This will benefit everyone involved in homoeopathy, including doctors, patients, drug manufacturers, and researchers.”

Further, Rajesh Kotecha, Secretary, Ministry of Ayush, at the event said that homoeopathy has immense possibilities for integration between other medical systems and traditional medicine.

He said that the government is committed to quality control and patient safety by working collaboratively with the homoeopathic community.
