As the world has been moving away from nature, it is facing various health hazards, including diseases like Renal Impairments, Diabetes, AIDS etc., in spite of tremendous advancement in modern medical science. Ayurveda, which is a medical science embracing nature as well as a philosophy of life as a way of Healthy living, is being recognized as the potential system of medicine all over the world. We find a logical approach towards health and disease in Classical texts of Ayurveda viz. Charak Samhita (Medical Text), Sushrut Samhita (Surgical Text) and Ashtang Sangrah (Compendium on eight branches of Ayurved).
The relevance of Ayurveda in present situation has undoubtedly increased where conventional medicine finds itself unable to fight many diseases. The medical research today is entangled in rapidly increasing struggle against micro-organisms that develop resistance to every new drug tried on them. The patients, not able to bear the brunt of the side-effects of conventional antibiotics are turning to gentler therapies of Ayurveda and other traditional systems. People have been benefited from herbal medicine the world over, often after the conventional treatment has failed.
Central and State Governments in our country have implemented various schemes to develop and promote Ayurveda through medical care, education and research. Government of India has agreed to the recommendations of various committees regarding development of Indian System of Medicine (ISM) and established Central Council for Research in Indian Medicine and Homeopathy (CCRIM&H) in 1969. The Council established major Institutes and projects for research in Ayurveda, Unani, Siddha and Homoeopathy.Central Council for Research in Ayurveda and Siddha (CCRAS), one of the four successor councils of CCRIM&H was established in 1978. This step further intensified research in Ayurveda.
The Institute welcomes the changes and amendment brought in the Indian Medicine Central Council Act 2003 whereby some of the functions of Central Council of Indian Medicine towards the opening of new colleges and new courses have been taken control of by the Govt. of India itself. This is a healthy sign and will improve the Science of Ayurveda for times to come.
Our college is one of the first Ayurvedic College; initiated the process according to the directions of the Central Govt. and U.T. to get accreditation from National Assessment & Accreditation Council (NAAC) by completing all the formalities.
