Overview
- The National Commission for Indian System of Medicine under the Union Ministry of AYUSH accepted Tripura’s application Friday and approved the Tripura Government Ayurvedic Medical College and Hospital at Udaipur for a 60-seat BAMS intake starting in the 2026–27 academic session.
- NCISM said it had satisfied all statutory requirements for the institution, a necessary regulatory step that clears the way for student admissions and formal affiliation.
- Chief Minister Manik Saha publicly announced the approval and credited central support, attaching the AYUSH communication to his statement and framing the college as the state’s first government-run Ayurvedic medical school.
- Tripura officials say the college and attached hospital will expand local access to traditional medicine training, provide new student opportunities, and strengthen healthcare services in the Gomati district and the wider northeast region.
- The move fits into broader state plans to grow medical capacity—Tripura already has MBBS and postgraduate seats at multiple colleges—and officials say the project will be followed by infrastructure work such as hospital construction and a proposed medical college in the TTAADC area.
