KOKRAJHAR: The Kokrajhar district administration today sealed the Dr BR Ambedkar Medical & Paramedical Institute located at Titaguri in Kokrajhar for operating without the necessary permissions and regulatory approvals. The enforcement action was led by Executive Magistrate Dhrubajyoti Das, with support from personnel of Kokrajhar Police Station.
The closure of the unauthorized institute is part of a state-wide crackdown on illegal and unrecognized health science institutions that mislead students by offering fake degrees and diplomas. As per government regulations, any institution offering education or training in health sciences, such as pharmacy, nursing, physiotherapy, laboratory, technician etc., must obtain due permission from Srimanta Sankaradeva University of Health Sciences (SSUHS). In accordance with the notification No. MER 307386/2 dated 06-06-2023, even private universities or institutions are required to secure affiliation with SSUHS to operate legally in Assam. The Dr BR Ambedkar Medical and Paramedical Institute had failed to obtain the necessary approvals and affiliation, prompting today’s enforcement action.
