In a new endeavour to promote research for mainstreaming the pragmatic Ayurveda practices through scientific validation and evidence-based appraisal, the Central Council for Research in Ayurveda Sciences (CCRAS), under the Ministry of Ayush, has launched 'Ayurveda Gyan Naipunya Initiative' (AGNI) for physicians practicing in the field of Ayurveda.

Prof Rabinarayanan Acharya, director general of CCRAS, said that AGNI aims to provide a platform to Ayurveda practitioners for reporting their innovative practices and experiences in various disease conditions, to promote the culture of reporting evidence-based practice among Ayurveda practitioners, and to document the reported successful therapeutic regimens for various disease conditions involving single drug/formulation/procedures for the purpose of education and academics.

It is also expected to identify the interested Ayurveda practitioners for collaboration in the creation of a database through applications and capacity building through training in research methods and good clinical practices, and to undertake research for mainstreaming pragmatic practices through scientific validation and evidence-based appraisal.    

CCRAS will document and publish the reported medical practices and therapeutic regimens for education and academic purposes in consultation with National Commission for Indian System of Medicine (NCISM). The interested qualified Ayurveda practitioners may send the Expression of Interest through email in the format available on CCRAS Website by December 15, 2023.

Further research studies may be taken up by CCRAS on the reported medical practices for mainstreaming and scientific validation by developing research proposals in collaboration with Ayurveda practitioners and other relevant institutes/organizations.

There are over 500,000 registered Ayurveda practitioners who are mainly practicing in India. CCRAS, under Ministry of Ayush is an apex research organization committed to undertaking, coordinating, formulating, development and promotion of research on scientific lines in Ayurveda. In the recent past, to boost scientific research through Ayurveda colleges and hospitals, CCRAS has initiated the studentship programme for Ayurveda Research Ken (SPARK) for Undergraduate Scholars, Scheme for Training in Ayurveda Research for PG Scholars (PG-STAR) for PG Scholars and Scope for Mainstreaming Ayurveda Research in Teaching Professionals (SMART) programme for teachers.

In the recent past, Ayurveda intervention has successfully managed many new disease conditions, both acute and chronic, which are not described in classical texts of Ayurveda, claimed the ministry. Inevitable streaks of excellence have been happening in many areas, particularly managing the reported adverse effects of synthetic drugs/procedures, which has put Ayurveda on the global platform in a short time, it added.
