Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Concept
The Ministry of AYUSH oversees several distinct, recognised systems of medicine — Ayurveda, Yoga & Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, Sowa-Rigpa and Homoeopathy (together the "AYUSH" systems). Each system has its own apex research council, and a portal named after a system points to that system's research body.
Application
HCCR stands for the Homoeopathic Clinical Case Repository. It is a digital platform presented by the Central Council for Research in Homoeopathy (CCRH), the apex research body for Homoeopathy under the Ministry of AYUSH. It lets clinicians, researchers and students enter standardised homoeopathic clinical cases so the data can be mined for treatment, prescription and morbidity trends. So the portal is associated with Homoeopathy.
Contrast
AYUSH system | Apex research council | Relation to HCCR |
|---|---|---|
Homoeopathy | CCRH | Runs HCCR — but not listed as a choice |
Ayurveda | CCRAS | Different council; not the 'H' in HCCR |
Unani | CCRUM | Separate system; unrelated to HCCR |
Siddha | CCRS | Separate system; not associated with HCCR |
Since the system behind HCCR (Homoeopathy) is not among Ayurveda, Unani or Siddha, the correct response is "None of these".
