New Delhi/UNI: The Union Cabinet on Wednesday approved re-establishing Pharmacopoeia Commission for Indian Medicine & Homoeopathy (PCIM&H) as a subordinate office under Ministry of AYUSH by merging into it Pharmacopoeia Laboratory for Indian Medicine (PLIM) and Homoeopathic Pharmacopoeia Laboratory (HPL)- the two central laboratories established in Ghaziabad since 1975.

"This will ensure optimum utilisation of infrastructure, human resources, and financial resources and ensure standardisation of Indian and other drugs," Information & Broadcasting minister Prakash Javadekar said briefing reporters after the Cabinet meeting.

The merger is aimed at optimising the use of infrastructural facilities, technical manpower and financial resources of the three organisations for enhancing the standardisation outcomes of Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani and Homoeopathy drugs towards their effective regulation and quality control.

This merger will facilitate focused and cohesive development of standards of AYUSH drugs and publication of pharmacopoeias and formularies. It is also intended to accord legal status to the merged structure of PCIM&H and its laboratory by virtue of making necessary amendnt and enabling provisions in the Drugs & Cosmetics Rules, 1945.

At present, PCIM&H is an autonomous body under the aegis of Ministry of AYUSH established since 2010.
