Gandhinagar: Minister of state for health Praful Pansheriya said on Friday that the state govt has initiated the process of transferring 188 students from Dhanvantari Ayurveda College and Hospital in Mahisagar district to other self-financed ayurveda colleges. An official statement said the affiliation of Dhanvantari Ayurveda college will be cancelled for alleged violation of regulations.Pansheriya said the state govt is committed to safeguarding the academic interests of all students enrolled at the college, and ensuring that their studies and internships continue without interruption. “A proposal has been submitted to the CM, seeking approval to transfer the students to recognised self-financed ayurveda colleges in the state,” the minister said.Pansheriya said the decision was taken after students submitted multiple complaints and made representations. In response, the state govt constituted a three-member inspection committee to probe the matter. The committee found that the college had remained completely closed since Sep 2025 and recommended that students be transferred to other institutions so that their education does not suffer.According to the govt, the transfer process will be conducted by Gujarat Ayurved University in Jamnagar, in consultation with the office of the director of AYUSH and the Admission Committee for Professional Medical Educational Courses (ACPMEC).
