IH News Desk
AGARTALA, April 10, 2025: Chief Minister Dr Manik Saha Thursday said that the present state government had a meeting with investors who came from outside the state about setting up a Homeopathy Medical College in Tripura.
Dr Saha, who holds the Health portfolio, said this while addressing a state-level program on the observance of World Homeopathy Day 2025 at Pragna Bhavan.
“Homeopathy treatment has been facing challenges for a long time. We must overcome such challenges. We are trying to set up a Homeopathy Medical College. I myself visited the State Hospital for Homeopathy. Some investors from outside the state came for this, and we have asked them to set up a Homeopathy college. The journey of Homeopathy started in West Bengal, and from there it spread across the country. There are some issues with homeopathy treatment. It needs massive publicity and outreach”, Chief Minister said.
"There are many homeopathy doctors who have gained good names in the state, but people are not aware of the success stories,” said Dr Saha. He said that Homeopathy can’t give an immediate solution but is helpful in the long term.
“There are many patients who don’t need surgery but are cured due to homeopathy. After 2014, when Narendra Modi became Prime Minister, stress was given on Homeopathy, which was neglected for years. Homeopathy came under Ayush along with Unani and Ayurveda. Homeopathy medicines have no adverse reactions. We have to create awareness among the public. We are hopeful that, in the coming days, we will go before the people with our benefits,” said Dr Saha.
We are hopeful and planning to recruit more homeopathic doctors. In Sabroom Sub-division, another integrated Ayush Hospital would be set up. The Health Department in Tripura has significantly developed. "We are also working for the development of homeopathy treatment,” he added.
Health Secretary Kiran Gitte, Additional Secretary Rajiv Dutta, Director of the Health Department Dr. Tapan Majumder, Director of Medical Education Dr HP Sharma, Director of Family Welfare and Disease Prevention Dr Anjan Das, Joint Director of the National Health Mission Arup Deb along with other eminent doctors were present as distinguished guests at the event.
