If you have served the Force for the prescribed period and are not on active duty, you are at liberty to resign your ap- pointment with two months' notice to the prescribed autho- rity.".

STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS

The Central Reserve Police Force has seen considerable expan- sion both in size and scope since the enactment of the Central Reserve Police Force Act, 1949. The present strength of the Force is 44 battalions, and it is proposed to have an ultimate strength of 52 battalions. As a result of this expansion and the substantial changes in the constitution and the administrative set-up of the Force, it is considered necessary to amend the Act. The present Bill seeks to achieve this object, The main features of the Bill are—

(a) empowering the Central Government to constitute units of the Force to be known as battalions and group-Centres; and

(b) providing for a suitable range of punishments that can be imposed on members of the Force.

2. Opportunity is also being taken to include certain consequen- tial and minor amendments found necessary in tho administration of the Act.

NEW DELHI; Y. H. CHAVAN

The 14th. December, J%fS.

FINANCIAL MEMORANDUM

Clause 2 of the Bill, which proposes to insert two new clauses to section 2 of the principal Act, provides for the constitution oi batta- lions and group-centres. Clause 3 of the Dill, which proposes to substitute section 4 of the principal Act, provides ior the appoint- ment of a Director-General, Inspectors-General and other officers to the Force.

2. All expenses incurred in connection with the administration of the Central Reserve Police Force would be met from the Conso- lidated Fund of India. The bulk of the battalions and group-centres of the Force have already been constituted and the officers mention- ed in the proposed section 4 have also been appointed. Since a few more battalions and institutions have yet to be added to the Force in the programme of embodiment in it of the India Reserve batta- lions (the expenditure on which is borne by the Government of India) and as a part of the streamlining and reorganisation of the Central armed police units, non-recurring expenditure oi' about Rs. 2 crores is likely to be involved after the Bill is enacted and brought into force. The recurring expenditure on the administra- tion of the Force during the year 1967-68 was of the order of Rs. 7 crores. It is likely to go up by about Rs 12 crores, mainly because of the above-mentioned programme ol embodiment of India Reserve battalions, since the expenditure incuired on the India Reserve battalions will now be shown against the Central Reserve Police Force,

MEMORANDUM REGARDING DELEGATED LEGISLATION

Clause 11 of the Bill which seekh to amend section 18 of the Cen- tral Reserve Police Force Act, 1949, empowers the Central Govern- ment to make rules to specify the authorities, other than the Com- mandant who may appoint members of the Force, to regulate the powers to be exercised by the officers of the Force and to prescribe the authority or officer who will exercise control over a battalion if it is posted outside headquarters. These are matters of detail or pro- cedure. The rules so made shall be laid before both Houses of Par- liament and shall be subject to such modifications as Parliament may make The delegation of legislative power is thus of a normal character

D.I.M.S.

GovcrnmenL College of Indi- Diploma in Indigenous genous Systems of Medi- Medicine & Surgery, cine, Ceylon.

STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS

The question of establishing a statutory composite Central Council for Indian systems of medicine (Ayurvcda, Siddha and Unani) and Homoeopathic system of medicine, on the analogy of the Medical Council of India, has been under consideration of the Government of India for some time past.

2. Minimum standards ior admission, duration of courses of train- ing, details of curricula and syllabi of studies and the title of the degree or diploma vary from State to State and even from Institu- tion to Institution in the same State, A number of committees ap- pointed by the Government of India, 1o consider the problems rela- ting to the Indian systems of medicine and Homoeopathy, have re- commended that a Statutory Central Council on the lines of the Medical Council of India for the modern system of medicine is a prerequisite for the proper growth and development of these sys- tems of medicine.

3, Some States have constituted State Boards or Councils, either by legislation or by executive orders, for the purpose of registra- tion of practitioners in the various systems of Indian medicine and Homoeopathy as well as recognition of qualifications. There is, however, no Central legislation for the regulation of practice or for minimum standards of training and conduct of examinations in these systems of medicine on an all-India basis. In the absence of such legislation, there is no effective control over the large number of unregistered practitioners in these systems.

4. The Central Council of Health at its 13th Meeting in June, 1066 while discussing the policy on Ayurvedic education recommen- ded the setting up of a Central Council for Indian Systems of Medi- cine to lay down and regulate standards of education and examina- tions, qualifications and practice in these systems,

5, The main functions of the Central Council would be to evolve uniform standards of education in and the registration of the practi- tioners of these systems of Indian medicine and Homoeopathy. For this purpose the Central Council will constitute separate committees for Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani and Homoeopathy, consisting of mem- bers of the respective systems of medicine to deal with matters per-

taining to those systems. The registration of practitioners on the Cent- ral Register of Indian Medicine and Homoeopathy will ensure that medicine is not practised by those who are not qualified in these systems, and those who practise observe a code of ethics in the pro- fession,

The Bill is intended to achieve these objects.

NEW DELHI; SATYA NARAYAN SINHA

The 16th December, 1968.

FINANCIAL MEMORANDUM

The scheme of this BUI centres round the registration of practi- tioners of Indian medicine and Homoeopathy on the Central Register of Indian Medicine and Homoeopathy and maintenance of minimum standards of professional education in these systems of medicine.

The establishment of the Central Council of Indian Medicine and Homoeopathy, committees for Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani and Homoeo- pathy systems of medicino and such other committees as may be necessary has been proposed.

2. Under clause 4 of the Bill, the Central Government will have to conduct elections for constituting the Central Council in accordance with such rules as may be made by it in this behalf. The Central Council is empowered under clause 9 of the Bill to constitute com- mittees tor Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani and Homoeopathy to deal with . matters relating to Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani and Homoeopathy sys- tems oC medicine respectively. Under clause 10, the Central Council may also have to constitute other committees for general or special purposes.

3. Under clause 12, the Central Council has to appoint a Secretary and such other persons deemed necessary and also, with the previous sanction of the Central Government, fix the remunera- tion and allowances to be paid to the President, Vice-Presidents and members of the Central Council an"d determine the conditions of service of its employees.

4. Under clauses 19 and 20, the Central Council will have to appoint inspectors and visitors to inspect/visit any medical institution, college, hospital or other institutions where education in Indian medicine and Homoeopathy is given or to attend any examination.

Under clause 23, the Central Council is likely to incur expendi- ture on the maintenance of the Central Register of Indian Medicine and Homoeopathy.

The setting up of the Central Council of Indian Medicine and Homoeopathy will involve a recurring annual expenditure of Rs. 3.70 lakhs as per details below:—

MEMORANDUM REGARDING DELEGATED LEGISLATION

1. Clause 35 of the Bill empowers the Central Government to make rules to carry out the purposes of this Act. These rules will relate mainly to the conduct of elections of the members of the Central Council of Indian Medicine and Homoeopathy.

2. Clause 3fj of the Bill empowers the Central Council of Indian Medicine and Homoeopathy to make regulations, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Act or the rules made thereunder, to carry out the purposes of this Act, with the previous sanction of the Central Government. Such regulations may provide, inter alia, for the manner of the election of the President and the Vice-Presidents, the management of the property of the Central Council, the resig- nation of members, the powers and duties of the President and Vice-Presidents, the summoning and holding of meetings of the Central Council and its committees, the functions of the commit- tees, the powers and duties of the Registrar and other employees, the appointment, powers and duties of the inspectors and visitors, minimum standards of education and examinations, mode of apply- ing for registration on the Central Register, the standards of pro- fessional conduct and etiquette and code of ethics to be observed.

3. The matters in respect of which rules and regulations can be made are generally matters of procedure and administrative detail and it is not practicable to provide for them in the Bill itself. The delegation of legislative power is therefore of a normal character.
