GAMC Akhnoor Gets Nod for 35 PG Seats Across 7 New Ayurvedic Courses
Jammu, September 5, 2025 — In a landmark move for Ayurveda education, the Government Ayurvedic Medical College (GAMC), Akhnoor, has received approval from the National Commission for Indian System of Medicine (NCISM) to launch **seven postgraduate programmes**. Starting in the 2025–26 academic session, the college will offer **35 new PG seats**, allocating **5 seats each** in the following disciplines: Ayurved Samhita & Sanskrit & Siddhanta, Kriya Sharir, Rachna Sharir, Kayachikitsa, Panchakarma, Shalya Tantra**, and **Kaumarbhritya–Bala Roga**.
Significance and Impact
- This marks the first time that Jammu & Kashmir will host PG training in Ayurveda—an essential step toward building local expertise and reducing dependency on out-of-UT institutions.
- The approved disciplines span a broad spectrum of Ayurvedic knowledge—from classical texts and anatomy to internal medicine, surgical principles, specialized therapies, and child health.
- Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha described this as a "huge gift for Ayurveda aspirants," and expressed gratitude toward Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union MoS AYUSH, Prataprao Jadhav, for the support.
Future Prospects
Introduction of these PG courses is expected to strengthen J&K’s health ecosystem, promote traditional medicine in academic centres, and boost research collaborations and human resource development. It also creates new opportunities for local students to pursue advanced training in Ayurveda without relocating.
