 BHARATI VIDYAPEETH UNIVERSTY, PUNE

It had been a long standing dream of our founder to get the status of a University
to Bharati Vidyapeeth. That dream was realized when the Ministry of Human Resource
Development [Department of Education, Government of India] on the recommendation
of the University Grants Commission, New Delhi through their notification No.F.9-
15/95-U.3 dated 26th April,1996 declared a cluster of institutions of Bharati Vidyapeeth
at Pune as Deemed to be University.

Thus there are 32 institutions which are the constituent units of Bharati
Vidyapeeth Deemed University.

As is widely known, the Central Govt. had constituted & high power Task Force
consisting of very eminent and experienced academicians to evaluate the academic
performance of deemed universities in the country. The Task Force appreciated the
report submitted by the University and also the presentation made by Prof. Dr.
Shivajirao Kadam Vice Chancellor. The Task Force noted the University’s excellent
performance with regard to teaching-learning process, research scientific publications
by faculty and their impact and potential, innovative academic programmes, enriched
infrastructure and recommended to the Ministry of Human Resources Development,
Govt. of India to award ‘A’ Grade status. The Central Government has accepted the
recommendation of the Task Force and awarded ‘A’ Grade status to this University.

Ours is the only University established under section 3 of the UGC. Act having under
its umbrella institutions of diverse disciplines of professional technical and traditional
categories such as Medicine, Dentistry, Physical Education, Natural and Physical
Sciences, Social Sciences, Commerce, Law and Humanities, pharmaceutical Sciences,
Management Studies, Engineering and Technology. The UGC has recognised this
University u/s 12 ‘B’ of UGC Act.

This University is a Member of Association of Indian Universities and also a member

of Association of Commonwealth Universities.

Introduction
Homoeopathy is known to the worldsince many years nevertheless the
scientific foundation is still highly complex and ambiguous. Modern medicine has
its own rational therapeutic approach supported with multiple researches and
evidences. Ultra molecular nature of homoeopathic medicines need to be unravelled
for generating systematic evidence for clinical effects of homoeopathic medicines.
Secondly, basic research in homoeopathy is in infancy and requires to be fast
tracked to current era. Not only clinical application but theoretical and conceptual
science should also grow hand in hand. Ph.D students are expected to understand
and apply this newer additions to the literature of homoeopathy with latest
information. Evidence based medicine is the trend which a research student must
follow for his own innovative studies and evolution of hypothesis.
