Annual Report 2014-15 PREFACE

Rashtriya Vidyapeeth (RAV) is an autonomous organization under Ministry of AYUSH, Government of . This organization is constituted in 1988 with an objective of revival of classical practical and textual knowledge of Ayurveda through ancient Gurukula method of learning. The targeted learners are the fresh graduates and post graduates of Ayurveda having a keen interest in making themselves better in classical Ayurvedic practices and principles. MRAV (Member of Rashtriya Ayurveda Vidyapeeth) and CRAV (Certificate of Rashtriya Ayurveda Vidyapeeth) are two such courses which have been started by RAV to fulfill the objectives of making ayurvedic students more versed with classical practical and textual knowledge. So far about 572 and 71 students have been trained for CRAV and MRAV respectively. In year 2014-15, around 114 students have been enrolled for CRAV course and are receiving the practical training in various disciplines of ayurveda under the guidance of RAV empanelled scholars of Ayurveda throughout the country. In view of underutilization of ayurvedic classical methods of patient examination and subsequent treatment, RAV after perceiving the gap, has started a unique programme to train ayurvedic teachers in classical diagnostic methods. The initial focus is on young faculties belonging to the clinical branches. So far, 9 such programs have been conducted at various places in country. In the year 2014-15 seven such programmes have been conducted at Ahmedabad, Nasik, New Delhi, Bhopal, , Puri and Goa respectively. These were well received programmes and approximately 200 teachers have been trained in these programmes. RAV conducts a two day National level seminar every year on some issue of current relevance. This year, the seminar was conducted on 'Auto immune disorders and their Ayurvedic management'. This seminar was attended by many distinguished authorities of Ayurveda. The event was marked by key note addresses on various topics by eminent scholars of ayurveda and research paper presentation by research scholars of ayurveda. About 19 research papers have been presented in the seminar. A souvenir containing full text of all the 19 papers was also released at the occasion. RAV released three remaining volumes of Charak Samhita commentary by Prof Banwari Lal Gaur this year. This is a prestigious accomplishment of RAV as the book has been received with much praise by all aspirants of Ayurveda. A good progress has also been made towards the publication of book on medicinal plants. The book is now in final stage of proof reading and is expected to be released soon. RAV also functions as a nodal agency to Central Sector Scheme for Continuing Medical Education (CME). The scheme was under revision and the new CME guidelines were implemented only in the last quarter of 2014. A review of CME proposals was started only after the implementation of new guidelines. For this reason, only 4 CMEs could have been materialized during 2014-15. RAV is yet recovering from the previous derailment and is regaining its strength to move at full pace to accomplish what is identified as its objectives and goals. We are committed to progress and hope that soon RAV will stand distinct by virtue of its glorious past, inspiring present and promising future. The annual report for the year 2014-15 on the activities and achievements of the Vidyapeeth along with the audit report is being presented.

FUNCTIONS OF THE VIDYAPEETH In furtherance of its objectives, the Vidyapeeth runs two types of courses under Guru Shishya Parampara namely CRAV and MRAV. To run these courses, it empanels eminent scholars and Vaidyas as Gurus and select Shishyas having formal qualifications in Ayurveda required for the courses. Besides this, Vidyapeeth holds seminars/symposia/workshops, publishes literature and offers recognition/ felicitation to the eminent scholars of Ayurveda. 4.1. GURU SHISHYA PARAMPARA Guru Shishya Parampara is the traditional residential method of education wherein the Shishya lives in the vicinity of his Guru and undertakes the studies in a one to one manner by accompanying the guru in his regular clinical work. This system vanished with the disappearance of Gurukuls. RAV realized that in Ayurveda, this method of knowledge transfer had been very effective. And hence the Vidyapeeth is making efforts to revive this system through its courses. In institutional form of learning only relevant portions of the Samhitas (classical texts of Ayurveda) are being taught in the form of syllabus. On the contrary, the Guru Shishya Parampara programme of RAV provides the students to study whole text to get adequate knowledge of selected Samhita and its Teeka (commentary) and traditional skills of the Ayurvedic practices. The Shishyas get sufficient time for interaction with the guru and get a live demonstration upon the patients, herbs or formulations during the course of the study.

Thyroid disorders, Rasayana, Kidney and urinary disorders, Hepato-biliary & Splenic disorders, Diabetes Mellitus, Mental Health, Vatavyadhi, Obesity, Reproductive Health of Women, Preventive cardiology, Skin diseases and Cancer. 4.5 NATIONAL INTERACTIVE WORKSHOPS BETWEEN P.G. STUDENTS & TEACHERS OF AYURVEDA It is the common experience of students, junior teachers and young doctors, who in the beginning of their professional career come across certain points of topics/subjects in texts, which may require clarification/explanation, interpretation and scientific understanding. In some of the colleges, where the faculty is deficient of experienced and qualified staff, the students constantly make efforts to understand the concepts of Ayurveda and their practical utility. It is frequently raised and argued by the students that some of the topics that cannot be explained in terms of present scientific understanding may be deleted from the syllabus/texts, as these are not relevant in the present day. But before entering into such conclusion it is felt necessary that interactive session should take place between students and eminent scholars and experienced Vaidyas, where there could be an opportunity to discuss such points of doubt. It is observed that the routine seminars of specific subject/topic limit the discussion to that topic and many times fail to clarify the doubts of students and participants for lack of time. In the fields of learning involving study of ancient texts and applying them in day-to-day practice in order to promote health care of the people, there is every possibility of queries in the professionals regarding the applicability of ancient thoughts in the present day understanding. Questions are invited from students on selected topics from the Samhitas, Nighantus, Chikitsa Granthas and other texts of Ayurveda, on which they require clarification. On receipt of the questions from the students, these are sent to those Ayurvedic scholars (resource persons) who have sound knowledge of that subject, and who can clarify their doubts. The questions and answers are compiled in a book and distributed in the workshop for scientific discussion. The questioners and experts are invited to participate in the workshop. So far, RAV has conducted 23 such Interactive Workshops and released books of Questions and Answers discussed in the workshop. 4.6. NATIONAL TRAINING PROGRAMME FOR AYURVEDA TEACHERS ON SAMHITA BASED CLINICAL DIAGNOSIS In a survey of Ayurveda Institutes conducted by RAV and AYUSH to assess the standards of Ayurveda Education and Educational Institute in the year 2012, it was observed that the information such as dashavidha pariksha, Srotas Parikshan etc. was lacking in Clinical case records at many institutes. The art of clinical diagnosis based on Samhitas and classical methodology described in Ayurveda is disappearing. Many teachers as well as PG students showed their interest in learning this art of Ayurvedic Diagnostic methods. In view of above, a novel training programme has been initiated by RAV during the year 2013-14 for providing practical demonstration of Samhita (text)-based clinical methods of examination by eminent scholars in the field.

55 Annual Report 2014-15

Ayurveda is indigenous medicine of our country and it is practiced in India for several centuries. There are number of treatment procedures, therapies and medicines in public domain. Many practitioners, either gained knowledge traditionally from their forefathers or out of their own experience, are practicing Ayurveda and benefitting the local populations. The knowledge and skills possessed by them in patient care should be transmitted to present young doctors. Further, the knowledge of Ayurveda is required to be interpreted as per the concepts of Ayurveda in diagnosis and treatment. During the year 2014-15 RAV has conducted 08 such training programme. 4.7. PUBLICATIONS The Vidyapeeth has been publishing certain books of Ayurveda, which cater to general public in creating awareness and also useful to students and professionals of Ayurveda and allied sciences. The Vidyapeeth also publishes the thesis of its students after necessary review and recommendation by the Expert Committee and approval by the Governing Body.

5.3. National Scientific Seminar on 'Auto immune disorders Ayurvedic therapies and management': Every year the Vidyapeeth organizes a National Seminar on a disease, which requires discussion and exchange of views and dissemination of clinical experience and research outcome on its diagnosis and treatment. This year Vidyapeeth has organized a National Scientific Seminar on 'Auto immune disorders-Ayurvedic therapies and management' for two days on 30-31 March, 2015. The Seminar was attended by many dignitaries and was presided by ‘Padmabhusan’ Vaidya Devendra Triguna, President of Governing Body of RAV. The main aim to organize the above said seminar was as under: "Ayurveda seems to have a special association with autoimmune diseases. Prima facie it is a group of diseases often landing up in Ayurvedic clinics in want of cure as there are no satisfactory cures available in biomedicine. Autoimmune diseases are accounting for a great proportion of the total agony caused to the world. A substantial number of diseases are grouped under this relatively less understood clinical entity where the main presenting features are related to sub-acute inflammation and subsequent manifestations. Immunity is the defensive mechanism of the body to fight and destroy any disease causing organisms or attributes. An autoimmune disease is a condition wherein the cells of the body fail to recognize the body makeup due to severe metabolic disturbances and thus

64 Annual Report 2014-15 begin to attack themselves resulting in a diseased state. Currently, almost 80 such diseases have been named so far and pose a challenge for medical science". RAV, in order to facilitate the dissemination of research outcome and experiences of Vaidyas on Autoimmune disorders, has invited original papers preferably on clinical studies with scientific data from subject experts and experienced Ayurvedic persons. A souvenir containing 19 selected full papers mostly on clinical studies was released and all nineteen scientific papers were presented by Vaidyas and researchers in these two days. 5.4 National training programme for Ayurveda teachers on Samhita based clinical diagnosis: A novel training programme has been initiated by RAV during the year 2013-14 for providing practical demonstration of Samhita (text)-based clinical methods of examination by eminent scholars in the field, because, it was observed that the information such as dashavidha pariksha, Srotas Parikshan etc. was lacking in Clinical case records at many institutes. The art of clinical diagnosis based on Samhitas and classical methodology described in Ayurveda is disappearing. Many teachers as well as PG students showed their interest in learning this art of Ayurvedic Diagnostic methods. Hence, in order to promote the practice of art of clinical diagnosis based on texts of Ayurveda and classical methodology described in Ayurveda, RAV had conducted following seven training programmes for teachers of medicine, pathology and Panchakarma of Ayurveda:- 1st programme was held in Ahmedabad on 25-26 July, 2014. 2nd programme was held in Nasik on 26-27 Dec., 2014. 3rd Programme was held in Delhi on 9-10 January, 2015 4th Programme was held in Bhopal on 29-30 January, 2015 5th Programme was held in Lucknow on 12-13 Feb., 2015. 6th Programme was held in Puri 26-27 Feb., 2015. 7th Programme was held in Goa in 26-27 March, 2015.
