Kanakavalli Director General PREFACE Siddhar Agathiyar is considered as the father of Siddha Medicine because of his remarkable contribution to the field of Siddha system of Medicine. In this regard, Ministry of AYUSH, Govt. of India has accorded approval for observing Siddha Day every year on the birth star of Siddhar Agathiyar in Ayilyam star which falls on the Tamil month Maarkazhi. With the support of Ministry of AYUSH, the 3rd Siddha Day is jointly organized by the Central Council for Research in Siddha and National Institute of Siddha, Ministry of AYUSH, Government of India in association with Directorate of Indian Medicine and Homoeopathy, Government of Tamil Nadu on 13th January, 2020. The Ministry of AYUSH is keen that all stake-holders including State Governments join together to observe the Siddha Day. Each institution carries out innovative activities for creating awareness about Siddha to the public. At the same time, efforts were put forth to strengthen and to take the Siddha system forward by the practitioners, faculty members, students and all stake holders. Thus, the usefulness of the Siddha system of medicine will be known to everyone and the greatness of Siddha will become evident automatically. Siddhar Thirumoolar has provided an apt definition of Siddha Medicine which is contemporary to definition of health provided by the World Health Organization. The theme of the Siddha day is “Siddha Science for Preventive and Promotive Health”. Personalized medicine and disease prevention are the core concepts of Siddha system of medicine which is also emphasized in P4 medicine – the future trend of health care. P4 is an approach to make medicine more Predictive, Preventive, Personalized and Participatory. Its two major objectives are to quantify wellness, predict and prevent disease. Siddha system of medicine emphasizes the quality of life through various preventive and promotive healthcare measures. Siddhars have also recommended certain basic lifestyle guidelines for healthy life. Besides various holistic treatment methodologies, “Kayakarpam” is one of the important disease preventing and health promoting concept in Siddha. They recommend simple lifestyle practices, daily regimen and seasonal regimens for prevention of diseases and promotion of health. These disease preventing practices are aimed to increase the immunity towards both physical and mental illness. Thus, a National Conference on the current theme is coined to cherish the Siddha system and also to educate its science to the common public and learned society. i Souvenir of the 3rd Siddha day 2020 The Ministry of AYUSH is taking steps to expand the units of CCRS across the country with the view to globalize Siddha System of Medicine. The Council has taken keen interest in propagating the uniqueness of Siddha system by conducting various Siddha Day pre-events through the various Peripheral Institutes/Units of CCRS. The conferences, seminars have provided a good platform for the students and researchers to learn the innovative research trends and outcomes. The following thrust areas: nutritional disorders, palliative care, Siddha dietetics, external therapies and Integrative Medicine were discussed. In commemoration of the third Siddha day, pre-Siddha day activities were successfully organized with the support of Directorate of Indian Medicine and Homoeopathy. Through this programme, awareness was created up to the grass root level through medical camps, rally, competitions, etc., for the benefit of general public. Various competitions were also held for the benefit of Siddha students / practitioners to harness their potential towards scientific writing and research. In this regard, mini project research grant contest was organized for the undergraduate and post graduate students. Moreover, to enhance the culture of documentation, scientific writing and success story writing competitions were held. In addition, to create awareness and sensitize the public about Siddha system of Medicine, quiz competition was organized for Siddha students and public. A mega student event depicting “SIDDHA DAY – 2020” involving 2020 students of Velammal Vidyalaya, Chennai was organized for promoting the concept “எ நல믍 எ கையி쯍” to enrich the medicinal values of plants among the school children. The event was planned in a manner that each student would be wearing Saint Agasthiyar’s facemask and holding a medicinal plant sapling in their hand. This year Central Council for Research in Siddha jointly with National Institute of Siddha and Directorate of Indian Medicine and Homoeopathy, Government of Tamil Nadu is organizing the Siddha Day Celebrations at Amma Arangam, Shenoy Nagar, Chennai. Moreover, Siddha Master Health check-up for the public will be organized comprising body constitution (dhegi) analysis, Siddha pulse diagnosis (Naadi), diet / activity counseling, free medical camp and Varmam therapy, exhibition of medicinal plants, raw drugs display, etc. and herbal cooking competitions. I take this opportunity to thank the Ministry of AYUSH officials especially Shri Shripad Yesso Naik, Hon’ble Minister of State (IC) for Defence & AYUSH, Vaidya Rajesh Kotecha, Secretary, Ministry of AYUSH and Shri Pramod Kumar Pathak, Additional Secretary, Ministry of AYUSH for their concerted support in guiding the Siddha day events.
