For the paramedical personnel there several institutions, in the States but also in
the private sector but these are unregulated and there is lack of uniformity in the training
imparted. For regulating training of paramedics it is proposed to set up the Paramedics
Council and a Bill for the same has already been introduced in Parliament. Separately,
there is also a proposal in the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare to set up a National
Institute of Paramedical Sciences (with branches in New Delhi and Chennai) for
undertaking and coordinating training programmes in the country in collaboration with
State Governments. The Ministry is proposing to use distance education to ensure large
coverage of the training programmes.
