REPORT OF THE JOINT COMMITTEE

I, the Chairman of the Joint Committee to which the Bill* to pro- vide for the constitution of a Central Council of Homoeopathy and the maintenance of a Central Register of Homoeopathy, was referred, hav- ing been authorised to submit the report on their behalf, present this their Report, with the Bill, as amended by the Committee, annexed thereto.

2. The Bill was introduced in the Rajya Sabha on the 1st December, 1971. The motion for reference of the Bill to a Joint Committee of the Houses was moved by Shri Jagdish Prasad Mathur on the 3rd April, 1972, and was adopted by the House¹ on the same day.

3. The Lok Sabha discussed and concurred in the motion on the 24th May, 1972.

4. The message from the Lok Sabha was reported to the Rajya Sabha on the 25th May, 1972.

5. The Committee held 26 sittings'in all. Of these, five sittings were held at Calcutta (25th to 29th September, 1972), five sittings at Bombay (3rd to 7th October, 1972), and four sittings at Trivandrum (28th, 30th and 31st October, and the 1st November 1972), with the permission of the Chairman, Rajya Sabha, to hear oral evidence from witnesses. The Committee also took the opportunity of visiting some Homoeopathic Colleges and Hospitals at these places. The rest of the sittings were held in the Parliament House.

6. At their first sitting held on the 3rd June, 1972, the Committee de- cided that a Press Communique be issued inviting Memoranda on the Bill from individuals, associations and organisations interested in the- subject-matter of the Bill by the 10th July, 1972, The Chairman also requested the members to suggest names of persons who might be invit- ed for giving oral evidence before the Committee.

7. To facilitate the work of the Committee, five different question- naires were issued to Private Homoeopathic Medical Practitioners, Pro- fessional Associations, Homoeopathic Institutions, State Homoeopathic Boards/Councils and the State Governments to elicit replies to the spe- cific points contained in those questionnaires.*

8. One hundred memoranda containing views, comments and sugges- tions and replies to questionnaires from two hundred and forty-eight in- dividuals, professional associations, institutions, State Board and Com- cils, and State Governments on the various provisions of the Bill were received by the Committee.

9. The Committee heard evidence tendered by one hundred and two witnesses.

10. The Committee decided that the evidence tendered before It should be laid on the Table of the Houses.

11. The Committee considered and adopted the Draft Report at its sitting held on the 8th March 1973.

•Published in Part-II, Section 2 of the Gazette of India Extraordinary dated, the ist December, T971.

12. The principal charges effected by the Committee in the Bill and the reasons therefor arc set out in the succeeding paragraphs.

Clause 2

The Committee feels that it is not strictly necessary for the purpose of identification of the Homoeopathic system of medicine to mention the name of its founder in the definition of 'Homoeopathy'.

The Committee is also of the opinion that even though the Homo- eopathic system of medicine includes the use of Biochemic remedies it is better to include the use of Biochemic remedies in the definition of 'Homoeopathy' to make the position clear.

The Committee has, therefore, received the definition in paragraph (d) of sub-clause (1) accordingly.

Clause 3

The clause, inter alia, provides for election of a member by the mem- bers of the Homoeopathy faculty or department of each University for representing academic interest on the Central Council. The Committee understands that at present there is only one University in the country which has a Homoeopathic faculty and the Committee feels that till such time as some other universities start Homoeopathic faculties or depart- ments, the representation of academic interest on the Central Council will be neglible. In order, therefore, to provide adequate representation of such interest, the Committee fee]s that so long as seven universities do not start Homoeopathic faculties or departments, the membership fal- ling short of that number should be made good by nomination of mem- bers by the Central Government from amongst the teaching staff of the medical institutions within India. The Committee has accordingly, added a proviso to paragraph (b) of sub-clause (1).

The Committee is also of the view it is necessary to give greater representation on the Central Council to persons who have special knowledge or practical experience in respect of Homoeopathy or other related disciplines. The Committee has, therefore, enhanced repre- sentation of such persons from thirty per cent. to forty per cent, of the elected members of the Council.

The other change in the clause is of a clarifying nature.

Clause 7

The Committee notes that in bodies like the Central Council same persons continue to hold office for a number of terms. The Committee considers that if there is no bar on the same persons continuing in office in the Central Council for unspecified terms, the Council may not be able to function effectively. The Committee has, therefore, amended the clause to provide that persons holding offices of the President and Vice-President are not eligible to hold such offices beyond two conse- cutive terms.

Clause 10

The Committee is of the opinion that Committees to be constituted by the Central Council should meet more often for the proper growth and development of the system and has amended the clause to provide that these Committees hold at least two meetings in. each year.

Clause 11

The Committee feels that it would not be a healthy practice for the Registrar of the Central Council to act as the Treasurer also. The clause has been amended suitably.

Clause 14

The Committee considered the question of protecting the right of practice of those persons who possess degrees, diplomas or licences in Homoeopathy granted by institutions outside India. "While clause 2(1) (e) defines the expression "medical institution" to mean any in- stitution within or without India which grants degrees, diplomas or licences in Homoeopathy, no provision has been made in clause 14 for the recognition of any medical qualification granted by a medical institution outside India. In this connection, the Committee further notes that the Second Schedule also does not enumerate any such medi- cal qualification. The Committee feels that this gap should be filled up by according recognition to certain medical qualifications granted by medical Institutions of standing outside India and for that purpose a separate Schedule, namely, the Third Schedule, should be added. The Committee has, therefore, modified the clause suitably and has also added a new Third Schedule to achieve this objective.

Clauses 21 and 26

The Committee notes that there is no provision in the existing clause 21 for enrolment on the Central Register of Homoeopathy of persons, who do not possess any of the medical qualifications recognised under the Bill, although they are enrolled on a State Register of Homoeopathy. Having regard to the contribution made by most of them for the cause of Homoeopathy, the Committee feels that they should not be totally debarred from practising in any State of their choosing. The Commit- tee has, therefore, amended clauses 21 and 26 to provide for—

(i) the maintenance of the Central Register in two parts—Parti to contain the names of all persons, who are for the time being enrolled on any State Register and possess any of the recog- nised medical qualifications and Part II to contain the names of all persons, other than those included in Part I, who are for the time being enrolled on any State Register of Homo- eopathy; and

(ii) the entitlement of persons enrolled on Part II of the Central Register to practise Homoeopathy in any State with the pre- vious approval of the Government of the State where they intend to practise.

Clause 33

The Committee feels that the qualifications of the Inspectors and Visitors to be appointed under the Act should be specified in the regula- tions to be framed under this clause and has amended paragraph (h) to that effect.

The Second Schedule

The Committee has added the Diplomas in Homoeopathic Medicine and Surgery granted by the Board of Indian Medicine, Hyderabad tmd the Orissa Board of Homoeopathic Medicine, Bhubaneswar to make the Schedule up-to-date.

The Third Schedule

The Committee has added this new Schedule, which contains parti- culars of the degrees, diplomas and licences in Homoeopathy granted by universities outside India and which are proposed to be recognised under the Act.

13. The other changes made in the Bill are of a consequential and drafting nature.

14. For convenience and also for reference purposes, an Annexure* detailing the clauses in the Bill as introduced in the Rajya Sabha which have now been amended by the Joint Committee has been added.

15. The Committee recommends that the Bill, as amended, be passed.

MINUTES OF DISSENT

I

The Bill, at the inception, was just a concept of control through a pyramidical council. But from the very beginning the Joint Select Com- mittee reflected unmistakable trends for enlarging the scope of the Bill into various progressive dimensions. The Chairman was readily en- couraging; and the Minister did not hesitate to respond.

The Committee had a very profitable tour in course of which, as also in Delhi itself, a wide range of possibilities for improvement were explored and a good many cross sections of Homoeopathic Practitioners of vicarious talent and experience wore examined.

It was a lesson to see how numerous Homoeopathy Institutions g^ow up in farflung areas of our great country as natural produce of the soil, aided, unaided and half-aided by Government. Pity indeed that they are not looked at or looked after on par with the traditional Allopathy ! Gratifying and educative it has been to see that, by and large, the Homoeopath does not consider himself as a mutually exclusive rival to worshippers nf other persuasions; but as a complementary entity, even though competitive.

We were simple amazed to find that hunger for Homoeopath treatment was mounting all over the country.

This is because the Homoeopath treats the patient as such, and not merely his or her pathology.

It is disappointing, however, that despite concern of the Government and the ebullient expectation of the people we are nowhere near the goal.

National Health Scheme is yet a far and distant cry. Allopathic hospitals extended bed to a very very limited per cent of our patients.

In village areas 90 per cent of our fellow beings are sufferers from this or that chronic trouble. But they would neither leave their means of livelihood or even a search for it—nor would they be hospitalised. The pathological examinations cannot be had in their villages and for them to go to the town and get their blood, urine etc. examined in outdoor of a hospital or in a private clinic would be expecting some- thing which cannot materialise.

Next to national health scheme, therefore, Is to reach Homoeopathy Mobile Units to walk from village to village, so that our toiling people who cannot afford to lie in bed with their chronic troubles can continue their life and living undisturbed while at the same time can get the benefit of a regular treatment through these mobile units.

The third eye and sixth sense of a real Homoeopath will, in course of a five years trial, as suggested above, will succeed in making our villages less depressed in body and mind, more encouraging as man- power and more useful as rational citizens.

In order to produce the required talents of a Homoeopath in this behalf their educational curriculum must include besides, Chemistry, Anatomy etc. a complete course of psychology and psychiatry.

Third Schedule and Clause 14 (2) (a) and (b)

As it is, in the Third Schedule, only three qualifications of D. F. Horn., M. F. Horn, and F. F. Horn, of the Faculty of Homoeopathy, London have been included. I feel the Schedule is incomplete as defi- nitely some qualifications have been left out. I can understand this lapse on account of the short period of time that was before the Gov- ernment to find out those persons with recognised foreign qualifications.

This can be easily done by including in the Third Schedule any other foreign qualification recognised already by any State Board in India. In this procedure there is no question of reciprocity or consultation with Foreign Institutions or Faculties.

2. To remove the ambiguity and in the larger interest of Homoeo- pathy education arid profession, it is also necessary that clause 14(2) (a) and (b) should be worded as follows: —

"14 (2) (a). The Central Council may hereafter recognise other qualifications granted to Diploma or Degree holders from this country after a further study abroad and that an entry shall be made in the last column of the Third Schedule against such medical qualification and declaring that it shall be a recognised medical qualification only when granted after a specified date."

Explanation.—There cannot be a question of reciprocity as in all the other countries of the world excepting Mexico, Homoeo- pathy is studied and practised as post-graduate specially after qualifying in Allopathic medicine. Hence, negotiations for reciprocity will not lead anywhere and it will come in the way of giving recognition to our Homoeopathy doctors who get the post-graduate experience abroad. Even in the case of Allopathic system of medicine, it was not actually reci- procity but it was the British Medical Council having had the right to recognise our medical colleges and their qualifications because of British Rule in India. Moreover Allopathic sys- tem of medicine is having the same standards all over the world.

14 (2) (b). Where the Council has refused to recommend any medi- cal qualification which has been applied for by the holder of such qualification and that individual applies to tine Central Government in this behalf, the Central Government after considering such application and after obtaining from the Council a report, if any, as to the reasons for any such refu- sal, may by notification in the Official Gazette, declare that such qualification shall be a recognised medical qualification and the provisions of clause (a) shall apply accordingly.

Explanation.—The authority or institution in another country will not have any interest in such recognition by the Homo- eopathy Central Council of India whereas the holder of the qualification from that institution would have direct interest in the recognition of his qualification.

OTHER SUGGESTIONS

In the normal course, there is always a time lag between the passing of the Bill and the formation of the Council, preparation of the Register* etc. If the following suggestions are carried out during this period, i1 will go a long way for the proper growth, development and standards in Homoeopathy education and profession. This will also greatly help in the process of speedy and eilective implementation of the Act. The Committee has thought of these suggestions in the light of the evidence collected from individuals and institutions all over India.

(i) A National Institute of Homoeopathy should be established in Delhi at the earliest possible time.

(ii) Each State should start at least one Government Medical College with all the prescribed departments and hospital facilities.

(iii) There should be a Faculty of Homoeopathy in an University oi the State.

(iv) Soon after the Central Homoeopathy Council is formed, a specia- list body should be set up to find out the real position of the colleges which have been recognised by the State Governments and whose quali- fications have been included in the Second Schedule and come to conclu- sions as to which of the colleges are much below par and which of the colleges deserve to be upgraded etc. which will enable the Central Gov- ernment to give proper timely advice and guidance to the State Govern- ments.

(v) It is also necessary that certain specific guidelines should be given to the State Governments in the matter of establishing Homoeo- pathy Directorates, formation of State Boards of Homoeopathy and maintaining uniformity in standards, syllabus, text-books, pharmacopoea etc. keeping in line with the purpose and objectives of this Central Legislation.
