Bill brought in Rajya Sabha to give ‘national importance’ tag to three Jamnagar-based Ayurveda institutes

Wednesday, 16 September 2020 | PNS | New Delhi

A Bill that seeks to accord the status of an institution of national importance to a Jamnagar-based cluster of three Ayurveda institutes — Institute of Post Graduate Teaching and Research in Ayurveda, Gulabkunwerba Ayurveda Mahavidyalaya and Institute of Ayurveda Pharmaceutical Sciences was introduced in Rajya Sabha on Tuesday. 

Approved by Lok Sabha in the last session, the Bill ‘The Institute of Teaching and Research in Ayurveda Bill, 2020,’ was introduced by Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan in Rajya Sabha on Tuesday here.

Moving the Bill for passage, Vardhan said this for the promotion of quality and excellence in education, research and training in Ayurveda and allied disciplines.

“This is going to be the first institution in the country in the field of Ayurveda to be given the status of an institution of national importance. This is one of the oldest in the country under the Government sector. 10 per cent of Ayurveda research publications are from this institute,” he said.

The Institute of Post Graduate Teaching and Research in Ayurveda is the only centre, which is a WHO collaborating centre and is the only institution, where PG and research facility is available.

“This is a first attempt to give such recognition to an Ayurveda institution, which has already attained an international stature,” the Minister added.
