The Jammu and Kashmir government has announced that the services of 19 AYUSH medical officers will be treated as quasi‑permanent, ensuring greater job security for the specialists.
The decision, made by the state administration, means that the officers will enjoy a status similar to permanent posts, though they will not be fully permanent. This move is intended to provide stability and continuity in the state’s healthcare system.
AYUSH, which stands for Ayurveda, Yoga, Unani, Siddha and Homeopathy, plays a key role in India’s traditional medicine framework. By granting quasi‑permanent status, the government aims to strengthen the workforce that delivers these services across Jammu and Kashmir.
The announcement is part of a broader effort to improve the quality and accessibility of healthcare in the region, and the 19 officers will now have a more secure position within the public health sector.
