1. COLLEGE 1.1 History Visions are spontaneous intuitive projections from the deep layers of the Mind, not the calculated creations of conscious thought. They are a 'Blessing', born out of grace, gurutva - the blessings of one's loved ancestors. This Institution is the vision conferred on Dr. C.K. Mohan by the blessings of his grandfather, the late Dr. Velayudhan Pillai, the eminent Ayurvedic physician of yester years. All these providential factors conspired and converged together in the birth of Sarada Krishna Homoeopathic Medical College in 2000 as the fine fruition of Dr. C.K. Mohan's vision. Situated in a sylvan, serene environs of Kulasekharam in Kanyakumari District of Tamil Nadu, the college campus is endowed with a salubrious climate eminently conducive to vigorous intellectual activity. The cool and comforting breeze gently blowing across the lush green vegetation all around the hillock on which the College stands sharpens the brains and softens the hearts of the keen and ardent students and teachers of this Institution. The College has got the due approval of the Tamil Nadu State Government and the affiliation of the Tamil Nadu Dr. MGR Medical University besides the recognition of the Central Council of Homoeopathy, New Delhi and M/o. AYUSH, Govt. of India. The Central Govt. has granted permission for a period of not exceeding 5 yrs. (2016-17 to 2020-21) for continuing admission in BHMS course with 100 seats and P.G. with 30 seats in 5 existing P.G. courses with 6 setas each as per the HCC (MSR) Regulations 2013 of the Homoeopathy Central Council Act 1973. The College started functioning in 2000 as a self-financing institution, being conferred with the minority status (Linguistic Malayalam) by the Govt. of Tamil Nadu. The BHMS course spreading over 5½ years with an intake of 50 students was started in 2000-2001. With the passing out of 6 batches of degree students, the intake capacity was enhanced to 100 from the year 2010 - 11. This was immediately followed by the launching of M.D.(Hom.) course in 4 disciplines viz. Organon of Medicine with Homoeopathic Philosophy, Materia Medica, Practice of Medicine and Paediatrics with 6 students in each. By 2013 another discipline - Repertory - has also been introduced for the M.D. (Hom.) course with an addition of 6 more seats. The college launched the Ph.D. programme in the 5 existing P.G. departments on 8th December 2018. The college has already reached at its pinnacle of perfection as conceived in its Vision, Mission and Quality Policy, as referred to here under, and is now in a beseiging trend and tempo to embrace anything it finds on its way to endear as its own to accelerate its onward course for fulfilling its much cherished and desired goal to be betokened as a Centre of Excellence in Educa- tion & Research in Homoeopathy. It is as part and parcel of this glorious achievement that the college has already developed its 100 beded Hospital with NABH Accreditation, all infrastructures (ICT based class rooms, Digital Library, Wi-Fi facilities), providing value - added courses, a plethora of community oriented activities, organising workshops, seminars, CME programmes for Faculty, I.E.C. etc. Our college also signed an MoU with the Centarl Council for Research in Homoeopathy, Govt. of India on 10th April 2018 for collaborative Studies/Researches. The Ministry of Human Re- source Development(Govt. of India) has endeavoured to conduct an annual web-based All India Survey on Higher Education (AISHE) on several parameters since 2010-11. The above Ministry has also adopted a methodology for ranking institutions of higher education in India under the title National Institutional Ranking Framework(NIRF) since 2015. Our college has itself enrolled in both the schemes since 2011-12 and 2018-19 onwards respectively. A Peripheral Pharmacovigilance Centre under the Ministry of AYUSH, Govt. of India has been established. 4 SARADA KRISHNA HOMOEOPATHIC MEDICAL COLLEGE STUDENTS’ HANDBOOK 2020
