Mangaluru, Jul 2: Union Minister of State for AYUSH Shripad Yesso Naik said that making National Eligibility-cum Entrance Test (NEET) compulsory for admission to Indian System of Medicine courses is part of the steps being taken by the AYUSH Department to upgrade education in Ayurveda, Unani, Sidda and Homoeopathy.

Speaking at the inauguration of the 100-bed Sharada Ayurveda Hospital in Devinagar near Talapady, in Mangaluru taluk yesterday Mr. Naik said that the AYUSH Department wants meritorious students to study the courses related to Indian System of Medicine. Hence, a direction was issued by the Ministry of AYUSH to all States to make NEET compulsory for admissions to courses from 2018-19.

Mr. Naik said that his Ministry will support States in opening units of AYUSH at primary health centres and urban health centres. The Ministry was working on opening more number of integrated treatment centres where treatment will be made available under the Allopathy and Indian systems of medicine.

Minister for Urban Development and Housing U.T. Khader said that Indian System of Medicine, which is closer to nature, had been neglected.

The situation has changed now and there was more demand for doctors practising Ayurveda, Homoeopathy, Unani, Sidda and Naturopathy. Mr. Khader asked Mr. Naik to help the State in opening more number of colleges teaching these courses.

Earlier Mr. Naik and Pejwar Mutt seer Vishwesha Thirta inaugurated the hospital.

Bengaluru, Apr 1: The price of petrol and diesel will go up by Rs 1.60 and Rs 1.59 per litre, respectively, from Wednesday. This is in line with Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa’s decision to hike the rate of tax on petrol from 32% to 35% and diesel from 21% to 24%.

He had announced this in his March 5 Budget for 2020-21 fiscal. At present, a litre of petrol costs Rs 71.97 and diesel Rs 64.41 in Bengaluru.

The government decided to roll out the hike from Tuesday midnight going into Wednesday, April 1, after briefly considering a postponement in view of the COVID-19 crisis. 

Finance Secretary (Budget & Resources) Ekroop Caur confirmed to DH that the hike will be rolled out. 

The 3% hike on fuel tax was a key resource mobilisation measure that Yediyurappa announced in his Budget. The hike is expected to fetch the government Rs 1,500 crore. 

Yediyurappa had also announced a 6% additional excise duty on Indian Made Liquor (IML), which could help the government mop up Rs 1,200 crore. However, the sale of liquor has been prohibited during the lockdown period. Plus, hiking fuel prices during the lockdown will not hit citizens very hard.
