AbstractThe Government established the department of Indian System of Medicine and Homoeopathy (ISM&H) for making available doctors practising these systems of medicine and providing medical and health care services to the masses at an affordable price. The Department failed to provide adequate educational and research facilities in Indian System of Medicine and Homoeopathy (ISM&H). Medical and health care services were also poor in the State. Following are the main audit findings: 1. Ayurvedic, Unani and Homoeopathic Medical Colleges and hospitals did not fulfill the required standard prescribed by the Central Council of Indian Medicine and the Central Council of Homeopathy New Delhi in respect of deployment of teaching, non-teaching, medical and para medical staff. 2. In the Government Homoeopathic Medical College and Hospital, Muzaffarpur considerable number of students dropped out every year. 3.
