"Owing to lackadaisical approach of State Health Ministry, the construction work is still in progress. Time to time successive government claimed that the first batch of BAMS and BUMS degree courses in the two professional Colleges would be started but they failed to do so," officials Sources said, adding that the concern authority has to take few required codel formalities from Central Council of Indian Medicine (CCIM) including Jammu University.
Official sources claimed that the concerned department had submitted formalities to CCIM for registration in 2016 but it has not been started due to non seriousness approach of the concern department. Moreover, officials also said that the building and its infrastructure of the college which is being established in Akhnoor area Jammu is almost completed.
"There is needed to submit many formalities for starting the college included grant of affiliation from concern Universities, "official sources stated. Sources added that no initiative has been taken to fill up posts of staff viz Professors, Readers, and other staff. It seems the first batch of above said degrees is likely to wait more to get admission in the college in current academic session.
