29-May-25 05:59:22
The Yogi government in Uttar Pradesh has announced a significant recruitment drive in the Ayush Department, offering a major boost to healthcare services and employment opportunities for the state's youth. This initiative comes at a time when traditional Ayush systems (Ayurveda, Unani, and Homeopathy) are gaining popularity alongside allopathic medicine across India.
Boosting Ayush Healthcare and Youth Employment
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's government has initiated the process to fill a total of 4,350 vacant positions across Ayurveda, Unani, and Homeopathic medical systems. This large-scale recruitment drive is a direct result of the Chief Minister's recent review meeting of the Ayush Department, where he emphasized the need to fill all vacant posts to strengthen the state's traditional healthcare services.
The recruitment will cover a wide array of crucial roles, including:
- Professors
- Lecturers
- Medical Officers
- Staff Nurses
- Pharmacists
- Matrons
- Readers
- Deputy Directors
- Drug Controllers
Addressing Vacancies Across Departments
According to Ranjan Kumar, Principal Secretary of the Ayush Department, there are significant vacancies to be filled:
- Ayurveda Department: 3,025 out of 7,233 sanctioned posts are vacant.
- Unani Medical Services: 161 posts are vacant.
- Homeopathic Medical Department: 1,164 posts for doctors and staff are needed.
These vacancies will be filled through a combination of promotions, direct recruitment, and other government processes. Formal requisitions have already been sent for many of these positions.
Vision for Accessible Traditional Healthcare
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's vision is to ensure that Ayush medical practices reach every village and town in Uttar Pradesh. Achieving this requires not only the deployment of doctors and nurses but also the integration of new technologies and the strengthening of basic infrastructure. In recent years, the Yogi government has taken steps to achieve this by:
- Opening several new Ayush colleges.
- Improving existing hospitals.
- Introducing digital health services.
The government believes that these recruitments will not only provide government job opportunities for the youth but also ensure that affordable and effective Ayush medical services are readily available to people in rural areas. This move is expected to significantly strengthen the state's healthcare services and revitalize traditional medical practices.
