"The committee notes that not much attention is being paid by the Ministry of Ayush in up keeping and updating the recruitment rules for various posts in the Ministry.
"The representatives of the Ministry of Ayush conceded before the committee that they were not even in the possession of all the recruitment rules pertaining to different posts belonging to Homoeopathy, Ayurvedic, Siddha and Unani streams,"
It also noted that many of the recruitment rules or administrative orders are either "not available or missing."
The committee, chaired by Dilipkumar Mansukhlal Gandhi, found it "glaring" that recruitment rules for Research Assistants and Senior Research Assistants in Ayurveda have never been amended after they were notified in 1980 and 1981 respectively.

This will not only help the Ministry in achieving its prime objective of growth of traditional and rich Indian systems of medicine in the country but will also ensure efficient functioning of various organs of the ministry.
