There are possible changes, which are affected the MBBS curriculum such as integrating Yoga as an essential practice for all students. Also, there is a chance that MBBS students could pursue a week-long course in AYUSH systems of medicine. That is referring to the mandatory 10 days of Yoga practice for the medical aspirants and faculties. Also, the president of the UG medical education board of UGMEB of NMC informed that the new Yoga curriculum started as soon as possible and conclude on the International Day of Yoga.

Also, the MBBS curriculum already includes the details that have been prepared by the Morarji Desai Institute of Yoga. The yoga lessons are given by male and female instructors about the possibility of Yoga in the theory part “ subject to its acceptability.

In the previous meeting, Anil Khurana the chairperson of the NCH National commission of Homeopathy suggested the possibility that it is compulsory for MBBS students to undergo one week of internship training in AYUSH systems.

Expressing the improvement for having the right thinking about Homeopathy Dr. Khurana said preparing regulations so that disrespect about other systems of medicines can be avoided. During this, he also claimed that there was a wrong perception about the AYUSH research which reveals that the death rate in Japanese encephalitis cases or reduce by 15% because of Homeopathic Medicine.

Hence, the chairman of NCISM Vaidya Jayant Deopujari requested to promote integration and offered clarity concerning the nomenclature in modern medicine, the same was lacking in Ayurveda and it was confusing. Also, the National Commission of Homeopathy is supporting the integration of modern medicine with Homeopathy and Ayurveda. In Hinduism, it is clear that the dissolution of the medical council of India and its replacement with the NMC was for promoting unscientific integration. It will not be successful it will remain the same.
