Ayurveda Doctors Find Appointment of KUHS PVC Discriminatory Against Ayurveda Discipline, Raise Objection
The Ayurveda Practitioners under the umbrella of Ayurveda Medical Association of India (AMAI) recently objected to the appointment of a doctor who does not belong to Ayurveda discipline, as the Pro-Vice-Chancellor (PVC) of the Kerala University of Health Sciences (KUHS). The newly appointed PVC, Dr C P Vijayan has been serving in the position of additional PVC temporarily for some time now. Dr Vijayan is currently serving as the Controller of Examination, KUHS. He has been attributed as one of the famous Gynaecologist & Obstetrician Doctors and Infertility Doctors of Kerala. Dr Vijayan has also served as the professor and the Head of the Department of Gynecology at Kottayam Medical college. After the governor Arif Mohammad Khan appointed him as the permanent full-pledged new PVC of KUHS, the members of Ayurveda Medical Association of India have found the decision to be discriminatory against the Ayurveda discipline as he did not belong to Ayurveda field.
