NEW DELHI: Offering a trusted, age-old solution to "new" problems, Delhi University is now all set to give its students a "dose" of traditional treatment. With the proposal for an Ayurvedic Health Centre on the North Campus finally cleared, students and faculty members have the choice of opting for alternative medicines. The result of a long-standing demand from the teaching and student community for such a centre, the University has roped in the Municipal Council of Delhi (MCD) to manage and run the centre. "We had been getting a lot of requests from people to start giving Ayurvedic treatment. Since we ourselves did not have Ayurvedic experts who were ready to come to the campus, we approached the MCD. The proposal has now been cleared and the centre will come up near the DUSU office as soon as the MCD officials decide to start,'' said D.M.Banerjee, the Chairman of the University-run World University Services Health Centre Advisory Committee. As per the present arrangement, the University will provide space for the centre, while the specialists and medicines will be arranged by the MCD. Although the University passed the project some time back, WUS Centre officials say there has been delay from the MCD side in starting work. Although the University's initial plans also included the introduction of homeopathy, lack of experts eventually led to a drop in the idea. While the MCD originally wanted to keep the clinic open for the public too, the University turned it down. "The MCD had initially said that the clinic should be kept open for the public. But since we don't have that kind of space and wanted the facility especially for students and teachers, we told them it was not possible. Thankfully, the MCD agreed to our demand,'' added Prof. Banerjee. With the health centre offering students and faculty- members easy access to health facilities on the campus, officials feel the addition of Ayurveda will help students a lot. University officials point out that most of our patients are either students who reside on the campus or faculty- members.
