National Commission for Homeopathy

What National Commission for Homeopathy does

The National Commission for Homoeopathy (NCH) is a statutory regulatory body established by the National Commission for Homoeopathy Act, 2020 (enacted 21.09.2020, in force from 05.07.2021) that supersedes the erstwhile Central Council of Homoeopathy. Operating under India's Ministry of AYUSH, NCH is the sole national regulator of homoeopathic medical education and practice, exercising authority over all homoeopathic medical colleges, undergraduate (BHMS) and postgraduate (MD Hom.) courses, and licensed practitioners across India. It coordinates three autonomous boards: the Homoeopathy Education Board (HEB) for curriculum and academic standards, the Medical Assessment and Rating Board for Homoeopathy (MARBH) for institutional assessment and rating, and the Board of Ethics and Registration for Homoeopathy (BERH) for practitioner registration and professional ethics enforcement.

NCH's operational backbone is a portfolio of digital platforms developed in collaboration with BISAG-N: the AYUSH Education Portal (Education Life Cycle Management - ELCM) for academic and administrative management across all homoeopathic colleges; the National Register for Homoeopathy (NRH) Online Portal for centralized practitioner registration; the AYUSH Grid Online Registration Portal for state-level practitioner onboarding; and the Assessment and Rating Portal built with QCI-NABET covering 84 sub-parameters across 11 broad criteria. Payment processing is integrated with the State Bank of India. The Commission administers the National Teachers Eligibility Test (NTET), publishes the Medical Qualification Recognition List (MQRL), and runs the Competency Based Dynamic Curriculum (CBDC) aligned with India's National Education Policy 2020. In June 2026, NCH signed an MoU with Anuvadini Foundation (AICTE) to leverage Anuvadini AI for multilingual translation of homoeopathic educational content across 22 languages.

NCH is funded entirely through Government of India budgetary allocations and does not charge fees for regulatory services. Its primary constituencies are all homoeopathic medical colleges, licensed practitioners, students, and faculty across India, served through 27 State Homoeopathic Councils/Boards that operate as implementation partners. Governance is provided by a Chairperson (currently Dr. Tarkeshwar Jain, from 23.12.2025), three Board Presidents (HEB, MARBH, BERH), a Secretary, and Part-Time Members, with the full leadership slate reset across 2025.

Others

• Ministry of AYUSH: Parent ministry under which NCH operates as a statutory body. Sets the policy direction, budget, and overarching regulatory agenda for AYUSH systems including homoeopathy, making it the principal governmental counterpart and funder of NCH.
• National Testing Agency (NTA): Central government testing body that conducts NEET UG, AIAPGET, and NTET for NCH. Functionally intertwined with NCH's examination and admission processes, making it a key ecosystem partner for delivery of NCH-regulated assessments.
• Quality Council of India (QCI) - NABET: National accreditation body that built NCH's Assessment and Rating Portal and trains assessors for homoeopathic college inspections. Functions as NCH's outsourced technical partner for institutional rating — an ecosystem dependency rather than a competitor.

Broad incumbents

• Indian Nursing Council (INC): National statutory body for nursing education and registration in India. Operates a comparable model of uniform curriculum standards, state-level council coordination, and national practitioner registration.
• National Medical Commission (NMC): India's apex statutory regulator for allopathic medical education, institutions, and practitioners. Operates under an Act of Parliament (NMC Act 2019) with autonomous boards for UG/PG education, ethics & registration, and assessment & rating — structurally identical to NCH's three-board model but for mainstream medicine.
• Dental Council of India (DCI): Statutory body regulating dental education, colleges, and practitioners in India. Comparable to NCH as a profession-specific regulator with authority over curriculum standards, college recognition, and practitioner registration under a parliamentary Act.
• National Commission for Allied and Healthcare Professions (NCAHP): Statutory commission under the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare regulating allied and healthcare professions through state councils, professional boards, and a central register — closely paralleling NCH's three-board, state-council-coordinated structure.
• Pharmacy Council of India (PCI): Statutory regulator for pharmacy education and pharmacy practice in India under the Pharmacy Act, 1948. Comparable to NCH in its role of accrediting institutions, setting education standards, and maintaining a national practitioner register.

Direct peers

• National Commission for Indian System of Medicine (NCISM): Sister statutory commission under the Ministry of AYUSH regulating Ayurveda, Siddha, Sowa-Rigpa, and Unani medicine education and practice. Operates parallel autonomous boards (Education, Assessment & Rating, Ethics & Registration), making it the closest direct peer to NCH within the AYUSH regulatory architecture.

Emerging players

• Central Council for Research in Homoeopathy (CCRH): Autonomous research body under Ministry of AYUSH for homoeopathy research, drug proving, and clinical trials. Strategic partner of NCH (joint World Homoeopathy Day events, research collaborations) and adjacent in scope to NCH's medical research regulation function.
