Most prog in combined specialties are non ACGME recognised, what does it imply ? Can a passout from such a prog apply for board certification ? If yes, then what is the significance of not being certified by ACGME ? If no, then what is the advantage in applying for such a prog at all ?

The combined program is not certified, per se.
But each individual specialty of a combined-program, if taken seperately, is ACGME-certified. There's info on this on ACGME.org

So does it mean that we can sit for board certification in both specialties of the combined exam, and be equal to any other resident for sitting in that particular board exam ?

did u even look at the website i mentioned?
"Combined training consists of a coherent educational experience in two or more closely related specialty or subspecialty programs. The educational plan for combined training is approved by the specialty board of each of the specialties to assure that resident physicians completing combined training are eligible for board certification in each of the component specialties. Each specialty or subspecialty program is separately accredited by ACGME through its respective specialty review committee. The duration of combined training is longer than any one of its component specialty programs standing alone, and shorter than all of its component specialty programs together. "
