Age just a number: Senior citizens crack NEET, apply for medical seats in Tamil Nadu
AI image CHENNAI: There's no age limit for learning - some senior citizens in Tamil Nadu seem to have discovered this mantra. Three people aged 68, 67 and 60, including two lawyers, have cleared NEET this year and applied for MBBS admissions in Tamil Nadu. But, their sudden passion for a tough and demanding branch of study like medicine has left TN officials in a fix. State selection committee officials said there are at least 25 people, above the age of 35 years, competing for UG medical and dental courses. There's no upper age limit to appear for NEET as NMC had removed the bar on age or number of attempts for the qualifying examination. "This year, there are many graduates and professionals aspiring for a medical or dental seat. This is the highest number of middle-age and older applicants we have seen since 2017," said an official. Some candidates have obtained enough marks that could secure them a seat under the 69% reservation category and permit them to study medicine at a subsidised cost at a government college or free of cost at a private college. All three senior citizens applied for admission under a special quota, where 7.5% of seats are reserved for students from government schools to pursue medicine in government or private colleges free of cost. While the older candidates have the qualifying marks, officials are seeing technical problems - in many cases, documents are not matching the requirements mentioned in the prospectus, an official said. The core debate among officials is whether this special quota should extend to all graduates, regardless of age.

MMC registration has legal backing, will wait for state panel report: Homeopaths
Nagpur: Homeopathic practitioners across Maharashtra have stated that granting them registration under the Maharashtra Medical Council (MMC) is legally justified and backed by court orders. They have decided to wait for the outcome of the high-level committee constituted by the state govt on Friday to examine the matter. "There are 90,000 homeopathic practitioners in Maharashtra, but only 9,160 have completed the CCMP course. We deserve registration under the MMC to get a just right to prescribe allopathic medicines," said Dr Subhash Raut, president of the Homeopathic Integrated Medical Practitioners Association Maharashtra (HIMPAM), Nagpur branch. "This bridge course was specially designed by the Maharashtra University of Health Sciences (MUHS) eight years ago, and many senior homeopathic doctors completed it in govt medical colleges, not in private medical colleges, where it was taught by qualified govt teachers. " Dr Anand Gadewar, secretary, HIMPAM, Nagpur, said, "The CCMP course clearly specifies which procedures homeopathic practitioners can perform and which are strictly reserved for MBBS doctors. We have no intention of intruding into the rights of modern medicine practitioners. We respect the govt's decision to form a committee and will patiently wait for their report." "Nagpur has 530 modern medicine hospitals, and 90% of Resident Medical Officers (RMOs) there are homeopathic or Ayush doctors. If RMOs being homeopaths is fine, then why deny them MMC registration?" said Dr Kushal Narnaware. Dr Manish Patil of the Orange City Homeopaths Association echoed this: "I am sure the result will be in favour of CCMP-qualified homeopaths. We are serving the community well and following proper protocols. " According to the state govt, the newly-formed committee will be chaired by the commissioner of Medical Education and Research (MERC) as the statutory head. Other members include the pro-vice chancellor of MUHS, the directors of DMER and Ayush, the administrators of MMC, and the Maharashtra Council of Homeopathy, while the registrar of MUHS will serve as member secretary. Homeopaths say they are optimistic that the committee's findings will recognise their qualifications and grant them appropriate rights under MMC registration. # Timeline June 30, 2025: MMC issues notification allowing homeopaths with a CCMP to apply for registration in a separate register July 2, 2025: IMA begins protesting the move July 9, 2025: Resident doctors (MARD) join the protest July 10, 2025: IMA doctors meet chief minister Devendra Fadnavis in Pune July 11, 2025 (morning): Issue raised in the Legislative Council July 11, 2025 (afternoon): Govt announces formation of a committee to study the matter July 11, 2025 (evening): MMC withdraws the June 30 notification July 11, 2025: Planned IMA strike called off

India's Ayush 'innovations' featured in WHO's brief on AI in traditional medicine
The WHO has acknowledged India's efforts in integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) with traditional medicine systems, particularly Ayush systems, the Centre said on Saturday. The World Health Organization praised the country's efforts in a technical brief - Mapping the Application of Artificial Intelligence in Traditional Medicine. The release follows India's proposal on the subject, leading to the development of WHO's first-ever roadmap for using AI in traditional medicine, the Ayush ministry said in a statement. India's efforts to harness the potential of AI to advance its Ayush systems reflect Prime Minister Narendra Modi 's vision of "AI for All," it said. Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Ayush and Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare Prataprao Jadhav said India's AI initiatives, mentioned in WHO's brief, reflect the commitment of Indian scientists to advancing traditional medicine through cutting-edge technology. "By integrating AI with Ayush systems, and through pioneering digital platforms such as the SAHI portal, NAMASTE portal, and the Ayush Research Portal, India is not only safeguarding its centuries-old medical wisdom but also leading the way in shaping a future of personalised, evidence-based, and globally accessible healthcare ," he said. Vaidya Rajesh Kotecha, Secretary, Ministry of Ayush, said the WHO document highlights India's AI-driven innovations, such as "Prakriti-based machine learning models" to the "groundbreaking Ayurgenomics project that brings together Ayurveda knowledge and modern genomics." At the core of the supposed transformation is the Ayush Grid, a digital health platform launched in 2018, which serves as the foundation for SAHI, NAMASTE, and Ayush Research portals, he said. "Together, these AI-enabled platforms are not only preserving and validating India's traditional knowledge systems of medicine but are also advancing their global integration within evidence-based, digital healthcare frameworks," Kotecha said. The WHO document showcases a range of AI-driven applications in Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani, Sowa Rigpa, and homoeopathy, including diagnosis support systems that integrate traditional methods like pulse reading, tongue examination, and Prakriti assessment with machine learning algorithms and deep neural networks, Ayush said. The brief also mentions Ayurgenomics, which Ayush claims is a scientific breakthrough combination of genomics and ayurvedic principles. The initiative aims to identify disease markers and personalise health recommendations using AI-based analysis of ayurvedic constitution types, the statement said. The document also highlights India's efforts in decoding the genomic and molecular basis of herbal formulations for repurposing them in modern disease conditions. India's Traditional Knowledge Digital Library (TKDL) has been praised as a global model for the preservation and responsible use of indigenous medical heritage, the statement said. AI-powered tools are being used for cataloguing and semantic analysis of ancient texts, it said. Another aspect recognised by the WHO is the use of AI for drug action pathway identification, comparative studies across systems like Ayurveda, TCM, and Unani, and the development of artificial chemical sensors to assess traditional parameters such as Rasa, Guna, and Virya, Ayush said.
