Government Initiatives Towards Advancing and Regulating the Physiotherapy Profession in India

Physiotherapy has emerged as a crucial pillar of modern healthcare in India, playing a significant role in rehabilitation, chronic disease management, and improving overall quality of life. As the demand for physiotherapy services grows, the Indian government has recognized the need to regulate and strengthen this profession through comprehensive policy measures. In recent years, several initiatives have been implemented to standardize education, enhance professional recognition, and ensure the provision of accessible, high-quality physiotherapy services nationwide said *Dr. Dharam P.

National Commission for Allied and Healthcare Professions (NCAHP) Act, 2021
The NCAHP Act also mandates the creation of Central and State Registers for allied and healthcare professionals. By registering physiotherapists across the country, the government aims to maintain a verified database of practitioners. This will help in streamlining licensing, monitoring professional conduct, and preventing unqualified individuals from practicing, thereby improving accountability and patient safety.
Central and State Registers.
The establishment of Central and State Registers for healthcare and allied professionals is another mandate under the NCAHP Act. The government aims to keep an authenticated database of practitioners by registering physiotherapists across the country. This will help in streamlining licensing, keeping an eye on professional conduct, and preventing unqualified professionals from practicing.
Standardization of Education and Curriculum
One of the challenges the physiotherapy profession faced earlier was the absence of standardized educational pathways. To address this, the government has formed the National Board of Allied Health Sciences (NBAHS) and established National and Regional Institutes of Allied Health Sciences (NIAHS and RIAHS). A dedicated Curricula Review Committee is working towards creating uniform syllabi and learning outcomes for physiotherapy courses. This ensures that graduates across India are equipped with consistent skills and knowledge, raising the overall quality of healthcare delivery.
Leveraging Technology for Access
The integration of technology into healthcare delivery has also been a key focus. Telehealth and tele-rehabilitation platforms are being promoted to bridge accessibility gaps, particularly in rural and underserved areas. By leveraging digital platforms, physiotherapy consultations and guided rehabilitation sessions can now reach patients who otherwise had limited access to specialized care.
Professional Recognition and Growth
Another notable step has been the official recognition of the “Dr.” prefix for physiotherapists completing a Bachelor of Physiotherapy (BPT) from recognized institutions. This not only enhances the professional standing of physiotherapists but also helps build greater trust among patients. Additionally, the government is encouraging existing medical colleges to introduce new allied health courses and upgrade infrastructure, creating more avenues for professional growth.
Challenges and the Road Ahead
While progress has been made, challenges remain. The profession continues to grapple with shortages of skilled manpower, uneven distribution of physiotherapy services, and financial barriers for both institutions and patients. However, with ongoing reforms under the NCAHP framework, collaborative efforts to strengthen infrastructure, and growing public awareness about physiotherapy, the future looks promising.
In conclusion, the Indian government’s initiatives—anchored by the NCAHP Act, technology-driven outreach, and educational standardization—are steadily transforming physiotherapy into a well-regulated and respected profession. These measures not only elevate the standing of physiotherapists but also ensure that patients across the country have access to safe, effective, and reliable rehabilitation care.

Known for seamlessly blending India’s cultural richness with contemporary design, Ganga has consistently championed innovation, craftsmanship, and comfort.

Ganga Fashions Store Facade

Spread across 2,000 sq. ft., the store captures the essence of Ganga, anchored in tradition yet contemporary in its expression. Conceived as more than just a retail destination, it offers an immersive space of discovery where design, culture, and nature come together in harmony. Surrounded by tranquil greenery and serene ponds, the layout unfolds like a narrative, inviting visitors to journey through moods and stories rather than simply browsing racks and aisles.

Beyond its signature womenswear, the store also introduces menswear, home linens, accessories, and skincare essentials, with kidswear soon to follow. This carefully curated mix positions the store as a true lifestyle destination, offering something meaningful for every member of the family.  

“The launch of our first concept store marks an important milestone in Ganga’s journey,” said Sanjay Gangwani, Owner of Ganga Fashions. “For over two decades, our endeavor has been to bring together culture, comfort, and contemporary style in every creation.

MindFlex Pilates Hub Launches Fourth Studio in Mumbai; Sets Sights on Pan-India Growth

Mumbai, 12TH September 2025MindFlex Pilates Hub, the boutique Pilates brand, has expanded to its fourth location in Mumbai, now open in Andheri. The opening strengthens the brand’s presence in the city and signals the start of its expansion into major metros across the country.

Jasneet Sadana - Founder, MindFlex Pilates Hub

Since its founding in 2024, the brand has scaled rapidly, establishing premium studios in Santacruz, Kandivali, Malad, and now Andheri. In less than twelve months, the brand has opened four studios, reflecting the rising demand for high-quality reformer Pilates in India and positioning itself as a leader in the country’s evolving wellness market.

Every MindFlex Pilates Hub studio features only three reformers per location. This allows trainers to deliver sessions that are highly personalised, detail-oriented, and rooted in alignment and breath. By keeping class sizes intentionally small, the brand ensures each workout feels restorative as well as strengthening, offering clients the rare luxury of true one-on-one focus within a boutique setting.

Talking about the launch, Jasneet Sadana, Founder of MindFlex Pilates Hub, said: “India is ready for a new approach to wellness. We have shown that a small, carefully designed format can have a big impact. With thriving studios in Mumbai and expansion underway in Delhi, Gurugram, and Noida, our vision is to make Pilates accessible in a way that is premium, personal, and purposeful. We are building a culture of intelligent movement that will resonate nationwide.”

The brand’s national roadmap includes new studios across Delhi-NCR, Bangalore, Pune, and Punjab in 2026, with a growing pipeline of franchise partners expressing interest. As wellness consumers increasingly seek boutique experiences over mass-market gyms, MindFlex Pilates Hub stands out with its unique blend of precision-led training, quiet-luxury design, and client-centered approach.

College Vidya Report: Women Lead India’s Deep Tech Surge with 4X Growth in AI & ML Enrollments

New Delhi, September 12, 2025; On the occasion of Engineers’ Day, College Vidya, India’s most trusted platform for navigating, comparing, and selecting UGC-approved online and distance education programs has released new insights that spotlight how women are reshaping the future of engineering education in India. The findings reveal that women’s enrollment in technical education has surged from 4% in 2022 to 17% in 2025, with the sharpest momentum in deep-tech fields such as Artificial Intelligence, Prompt Engineering, Cybersecurity, Robotics, and Data Science.

College Vidya Infographic

This shift is most visible in AI & ML programs, where women’s participation has grown fourfold in a single year from just 5% in 2024 to 20% in 2025. Today, one in every five students in AI and ML Master’s programs is a woman, compared to only one in twenty last year. The overall demand for AI programs has skyrocketed by 500% in the past two years, and women are emerging as key contributors to this wave of growth.

Rohit Gupta, COO at College Vidya, said: “These numbers capture how cultural attitudes, online learning models, and industry role models are opening pathways for women in areas that will define India’s technological future. On Engineers’ Day, it is important to celebrate how India’s next wave of women engineers is shaping the country’s deep-tech story. By releasing this study every year, we aim to track and highlight where progress is being made most meaningfully.”

India’s Techade: The Broader Picture
The momentum is not limited to AI & ML. Women now represent nearly a quarter of MCA students in Cybersecurity and 15% of doctoral candidates in Generative AI. Traditional science courses too are shifting, with female participation in B.Sc and M.Sc programs rising to almost 40%, up from only 10–12% in 2019.

This rapid rise reflects a broader transformation in education access and aspiration, positioning women engineers as vital drivers of India’s “Techade.”

Regional Hotspots: South India Leads
Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh together account for nearly 70% of women’s enrollments in deep-tech programs. At the same time, West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, and Bihar are also beginning to show strong growth. Many of these learners are from Tier 2 and Tier 3 towns, moving to Tier 1 cities to pursue advanced programs — a trend that underscores both aspiration and opportunity.

Accessibility, Affordability & Changing Attitudes
Flexible online learning models, with EMIs starting at INR 4,999, have made high-quality courses far more accessible. Top faculty teaching online is also expanding reach, while families increasingly support daughters to pursue engineering careers. The rising visibility of women leaders in CXO and senior tech roles is reinforcing this momentum, offering aspirational role models for the next generation.

From Classrooms to Boardrooms
The report highlights that nearly two-thirds of female learners are working professionals upskilling for career advancement, while 30% are fresh graduates. Most aim for industry roles, with a smaller segment pursuing entrepreneurship. Together, they are shaping India’s future workforce and leadership in technology.

Force Motors Announces Revised Prices Reflecting Full GST Reduction Benefits

Pune, September 12, 2025: Force Motors Limited, a key automotive player and India’s largest van manufacturer, today announced revised prices across its entire range of vehicles including Traveller, Trax, Urbania, Monobus, and Gurkha, effective 22nd September 2025. Coinciding with the onset of the festive season, the company will be passing on the full benefit of the revised 18% GST to its customers.

Making this announcement, Mr. Prasan Firodia, Managing Director of Force Motors Limited said, “The proposed GST rate rationalization is a landmark reform for the automotive industry and we at Force Motors welcome the reduction of GST rates from 28% to 18%, a move that will make a meaningful difference across critical mobility segments. Mass mobility solutions such as the Traveller, Urbania, and Trax will become more accessible, enabling safer and more reliable public transport, while ambulances too will benefit from the relaxation, easing the financial burden on healthcare providers and strengthening critical care infrastructure.

Moreover, the removal of Compensation Cess is a step in the right direction as it would help in bringing down the total incidence of GST taxation. This structural change is expected to further stimulate demand across the sector and provide a timely boost to festive season buying sentiment. The iconic Force Gurkha too stands to gain from the rate rationalization, making purpose-built, rugged mobility more attainable. Additionally, lower rates on engines, parts, and components will strengthen the supply chain and provide a strong impetus to the Government’s ‘Make-in-India’ vision”, he concluded. 

With demand rising in the festive period, customers are encouraged to confirm their bookings early to ensure on-time delivery of their vehicle.

K Formula Launches India’s First Molecular Haircare Brand with Peptide Technology

K Formula

September 12, 2025: India’s beauty industry is about to experience a seismic shift with the launch of K Formula, the country’s first peptide-powered molecular haircare brand. Founded by entrepreneur Anoushka Adya, the brand introduces a science-driven, six-step repair ritual that promises visible transformation in as little as five minutes.

K Formula introduces a science-first, six-step ritual that doesn’t just coat hair but rebuilds it from within, at the molecular level. Powered by cutting-edge peptide technology, the range promises visible transformation in as little as five minutes. The brand’s bold claim? “New Hair in 5 Minutes.” For years, Indian haircare has been defined by oils, masks, and cosmetic quick-fixes. K Formula disrupts this narrative with what it calls the “Peptide Revolution”, reconnecting broken keratin chains to deliver lasting repair, resilience, and shine.

Anoushka Adya is an accomplished entrepreneur, the Founder of Relier Media Group. With a graduate degree in Marketing & Strategy from Warwick Business School, UK, Anoushka brings both academic rigor and creative flair to her ventures. She has built highly effective teams, driven innovation in content and design, and launched initiatives that merge purpose with impact. At the core of her mission is a desire to elevate Indian narratives while incorporating global standards.

Anoushka- kformula

“K Formula is deeply personal to me. For years, I searched for solutions that went beyond cosmetic quick fixes, and I knew Indian consumers deserved better. With peptides, we finally have the science to deliver true repair transformation you can see and feel in minutes. For me, this isn’t just about products; it’s about shifting the way we think about hair health in India,” says Anoushka Adya, Founder and CEO of K Formula.

Adding to its credibility, Delhi’s top celebrity hairstylist, Sahib Mongia, who has joined K Formula as the brand’s first official ambassador, calls it a game-changer: “As a stylist, I’ve tested every major global product on my clients over the years, but nothing has excited me like K Formula,” says Sahib Mongia, Hair Stylist, Ranked in Top 5 Best Hair Stylists and Founder of NOIR SALON. “The results are instant, visible, and lasting. This is the first Indian brand that genuinely competes with global science-backed products, and I believe it’s going to transform how Indians approach haircare.”

The brand makes its debut with a curated six-product collection, including a Peptide Hair Corrector (pre-shampoo), Peptide Shampoo, Peptide Conditioner, Molecular Leave-In Magic Mask, Molecular Repair Hair Oil, and a Peptide Dry Shampoo. Designed as a complete molecular repair system, each formula is vegan, sulphate-free, cruelty-free, and color-safe, priced between ₹700 and ₹1,500, making advanced peptide-powered haircare both premium and accessible.

In consumer trials, over 90% of participants reported that their hair felt softer, smoother, and healthier-looking after just one wash. The brand’s claim of “New Hair in 5 Minutes” is rooted in this data, reflecting its unique approach of molecular repair rather than cosmetic masking. Consumers today demand transparency, efficacy, and performance. With its science-first ethos and strong focus on education, K Formula is poised to lead this change. With a promise that’s both aspirational and accessible, K Formula positions itself as the brand India didn’t know it was waiting for. The first of its kind, it’s set to ignite conversations, spark a new wave in haircare, and put India at the forefront of the global peptide revolution.

This is the first Indian brand that genuinely competes with global science-backed products, and I believe it’s going to transform how Indians approach haircare.” Anoushka’s vision extends beyond bottles and boxes. “We’re not just selling formulas; we’re reimagining haircare for a new generation. It’s about creating a culture of hair health in India, where repair, strength, and longevity matter as much as beauty,” says Adya.

With a promise that’s both aspirational and accessible, K Formula positions itself as the brand India didn’t know it was waiting for. The first of its kind, it’s set to ignite conversations, spark a new wave in haircare, and put India at the forefront of the global peptide revolution. K Formula isn’t just another brand. It’s science. It’s culture. And it’s haircare, redefined.
