  "account": "On October 9, 2026, the Uttar Pradesh Cabinet, led by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, voted to double the monthly internship stipend for students completing BAMS, BUMS, and BHMS courses in government Ayurveda, Unani, and Homeopathy institutions.\n\nEffective immediately, the stipend for these interns will rise from ₹7,500 to ₹15,000 per month, effectively doubling their current earnings. The change will positively impact 588 Ayurveda interns, 150 Unani interns, and 976 Homeopathy interns across Uttar Pradesh.\n\nStudents who successfully complete their BAMS, BUMS, or BHMS examinations from government Ayurveda, Unani, and Homeopathy colleges, institutions, and universities are mandated to undertake a rotating internship. During this period, they provide essential support to medical practitioners in treating patients within government Ayurveda, Unani, and Homeopathy medical colleges, institutions, and hospitals. Their duties extend to hospital wards, outpatient departments (OPDs), and night shifts, making a significant contribution to patient care.\n\nCurrently, interns undergoing BHMS internships at Homeopathy medical colleges and hospitals, as well as BAMS and BUMS internships at Ayurveda and Unani medical colleges and hospitals, receive a monthly stipend of ₹7,500. The Cabinet's decision to raise this amount to ₹15,000 per month is poised to substantially improve the financial situation of these students during their crucial internship phase.",
