1. INTRODUCTION

Homoeopathy is a safe, time tested popular and widely accepted therapeutic system in India. Though born in Germany, Homoeopathy established in India and gained popularity since its advent in the country in 1839. The Government of India, recognizing the mass acceptance of the system in the country, has taken a number of steps to integrate homoeopathy together with other traditional health care systems. An institutional framework has been established for clinical practice, education, research and drug safety systematically. The research initiative was heralded with a committee in 1963 and in 1969, the Government of India established the Central Council for Research in Indian Medicines and Homoeopathy for conducting systematic research in respective fields.

In 1978, the CCRIMH was dissolved to pave way for the constitution of four separate research Councils, one each for Homoeopathy (CCRH), Auyrveda and Siddha Medicine (CCRAS), Unani Medicine (CCRUM) and Yoga & Naturopathy (CCRYN). Such independent set-up of the Councils facilitated the promotion of research in the respective disciplines, on their own strengths.

The Central Council for Research in Homoeopathy (CCRH) was formally constituted on 30th March, 1978, as an autonomous organization and was registered under the Societies Registration Act XXI of 1860. It was, however, in January 1979, that the Council started functioning as an independent organization.
