Hi
Let me introduce myself, I am Vijay Sharma, and have just completed my B.P.T final year.
Being physiotherapists we all know the status of Physiotherapy in India. Today,despite of our extensive knowledge of subjects ,we are prevented from attaining the status we deserve among the medical professionals.
Who can be held responsible for this?
Government? For its policies and depriving us of our council?
Most of will answer yes. Actually its WE-the upcoming Physiotherapists who haven’t taken any initiative till date in this direction. Just blaming others and waiting for the initiating steps to follow can never provide us with a solution.
IT’S OUR RIGHT TO HAVE A COUNCIL.
Even nurses have a council, then why do we lack?
Our country needs us in same way as it needs any MBBS or MD. Government needs to recognize it.
I accept that physiotherapy evolved as diploma courses in India and may be at that time Physiotherapy Association was sufficient as an administrative body. But status of Physiotherapy has improved a lot since the bachelors and masters degree programs have been introduced in India in this field.
So,it’s right time to ask for council so that WE-the upcoming Physiotherapists and our juniors can enjoy the status of respectable medical professionals.
Another major drawback that we are facing is the lack of job in government institutions and moreover the salary scales in government jobs need to be revised as these are still according to DPT qualifications.
Also,our profession is considered as referred system of practice in India owing to lack of legal umbrella that is the PHYSIOTHERAPY COUNCIL OF INDIA.
So, its high times that we all should acknowledge the need for physiotherapy council and put in our best efforts in the way towards enlightenment in same context.
All those awakened are invited to join the group, so that we all can collectively make fruitful efforts in the process of physiotherapy council.

Kindly appreciate the initiative and forward this to all physiotherapists so that we can make it a national issue.
THANKS
