  NOTICE

This Council is receiving frequent letters from students and parents that they are being cheated by some of the organizations offering courses claiming to be Recognized Diploma Courses in Naturopathy of 1 year to 3-½ years duration namely - N.D., D.N.Y.S., D.N.Y.T., H.D.N.Y., N.D. D.Y., D.A.M.S., B.N.M.S. etc. This is to inform to all concerned that about 200 such parties/ so-called organizations are claiming that they are running/conducting recognized Diploma Courses in naturopathy. Some of them are even using the word “Recognized/Approved/Authenticated/Granted/Authorized/ Affiliated etc. by CCRYN, Govt. of India, Ministry of Health & F.W.” It is clarified to all students and parents that there is no such Recognized Diploma course in Naturopathy being run anywhere in India. The students are advised not to get mis-guided by such type of false advertisements/claims.

 
   

There is only one Recognized ‘Bachelor of Naturopathy & Yogic Sciences’ (BNYS) Degree course of full time/regular 5-½ years duration which is being run by 11 Colleges duly Affiliated to the respective Universities and Recognized by their respective State Govts.

 

Naturopathy is a practical and perfect medical science. It cannot be learned through part time or postal or external courses. Those who are interested in Naturopathy should join full-time BNYS Degree Course as like MBBS, BAMS, BUMS, BHMS, BSMS, BPT, BDS. After passing out, the Degree of BNYS is awarded by the respective University. Such qualified Naturopaths do receive Class ‘A’ Medical Registration in Naturopathy & Yoga by their respective State Govt.’s Board of Medical Registration.

   
 
It has also been brought to the notice of Council that some organizations are issuing registration certificates to practitioners of Yoga & Naturopathy saying that such certificates will enable them practice these sciences. It is clarified that such socalled registration certificates issued by private organizations are of no legal value for practicing these sciences. In some states like AP, Karnataka, TN etc. State Governments have recognized Degree Colleges of BNYS and qualified practitioners are issued Registration Certificates by respective Boards of Indian System of Medicine constituted under Acts of respective States. In some states provisions for registration are yet to come up. Public is herby advised that they should not be mislead by advertisements issued by private organization in regard to registration and practice.
   
 
It is also found that some institutions claiming to be affiliated institutions of Certain Deemed Universities are issuing advertisements for Yoga & Naturopathy Degree / Diploma Courses.
   
 
It is clarified that except for above stated 10 Colleges rest of the Courses conducted by such institutions, Deemed Universities, cannot be treated as recognized professional courses in the Medical System Naturopathy & Yoga therapy.
