Kathua/Jammu, March 10 (PTI) – North India’s first government homeopathy school funded through the central government will open in Jasrota in the Kathua district of Jammu and Kashmir, Union Minister Jitendra Singh said on Sunday.
The school will charge around 80 crore, he said.
The Union Minister of State in the Prime Minister’s Office said that firstly, the facility would span more than 8 acres and that the adjacent 3 acres could be added to the existing campus in due course.
“The proposed design will include a hospital complex, a university, an administrative block and a student hostel,” Singh said.
“The open space will later be used for the structure of an auditorium and a children’s playground,” the minister said during his stopover at the proposed site in the village of Jasrota, where painting on the perimeter wall has already begun.
He reported on the establishment through high-level engineers and experts from Ayush Prefecture.
Singh, who is serving a third consecutive term in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections in Udhampur, said the programme he followed after his election as an MP in 2014 will continue uninterrupted until the date of the declaration of the code of conduct and will resume immediately. once the electoral code is lifted.
He also expressed his gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, to whom the request was addressed, saying it was a source of pride for the rest of the people of Kathua that the first government school of homeopathy in northern India charged 80 crore rupees.
“Not only will this be a wonderful help for aspirants to a degree in homeopathy in North India, something that did not exist before, but it will also provide a cost-effective remedy to patients in need,” the minister said.
“This will be in line with the Modi government’s health strategy, which seeks synergy between allopathy and Ayush medicine streams by adding homeopathy, ayurveda and naturopathy,” he added.
Singh said the post-COVID-19 experience has further solidified the idea that traditional Indian methods of medicine and healing have panacea value.
Noting the medical infrastructure that has been established in Kathua over the past 10 years, Singh said the district now has a government medical school and cancer treatment center provided through the Tata Memorial Center.
“The addition of a government school of homeopathy will make Kathua an incorporated and cost-effective fitness center in North India in the coming times,” he said.
He later said he had dedicated his first five-year term to filling the gaps of previous governments, adding the Shahpur Kandi project, which was 30 years overdue.
The second term, he said, is true to the status quo of new establishments such as the centrally funded government medical schools, the first seed processing plant and the homeopathy university project, among others.
“The next five-year term will commit to consolidating those gains and moving the region forward to become North India’s most attractive destination from the point of view of education, trade, tourism and income,” Singh said, lashing out at his warring political parties who claimed the constituency had noticed some progress over the past 10 years.

Good government resolution for the state and homeopathy. Along with the proposed structural plan, a botanical lawn on campus, with those plants, homeopathic pharmacy resources, and materia medica, would possibly be useful to students.
