Training stresses when not to treat and when to refer to higher facilities.

Legal context (brief)
Public discussion sometimes cites Supreme Court jurisprudence around community medical workers. Judgments address specific facts; they do not “approve” any private college by name. Always follow current Indian law, state rules, and drug regulations. The illustrated summary and fuller text are on the CMS & ED programme page — legal context; the course hub gives the four-diploma overview with a link back here.
