These systems have their own philosophy, oriental methodologies and practices with some similarities. As the traditional systems of medicine are gaining popularity globally, the dissemination of knowledge is required for scientific understanding among physicians/researchers of other systems of medicines and scientists of allied sciences. The National Population Policy 2000, National Health Policy 2002, National Health Policy 2017 and the National Commission on Macroeconomic and Health-2005 of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India, emphasized on reorientation and prioritization of research in Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homoeopathy (AYUSH) and to validate therapy and drugs for mainstreaming through integration and co-location. The Research Councils functioning under Ministry of AYUSH were set up to undertake research in AYUSH systems through their own institutes as well as in collaboration with reputed institutes involving scientists of different disciplines. These AYUSH Research Councils have contributed significantly in AYUSH research and it is the need of hour that these systems integrate among themselves to showcase the strengths of these individual systems for further planning and mainstreaming of AYUSH. Several scientific studies have been carried out to generate evidence on feasibility of integration of AYUSH with conventional system of medicine and have demonstrative benefits of this integrative approach in managing non communicable diseases and reproductive child health care. To showcase the notable achievements of AYUSH Research Councils and possible areas of collaboration, this document “AYUSH systems -A focus on core achievements and potential areas of strength has been prepared to draw a future roadmap for integration among these systems. This document will demonstrate the common research activities of AYUSH Research Councils, to evolve strategic research programme on identified areas and to prepare a common strategy for popularity and utilization AYUSH system at large. iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Illllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll INDEX ChapterContent Page No Section I: Ayurveda 1-42 1 Background 3 1.1 Introduction 3 1.2 Brief on CCRAS 11 2 Core Achievements of CCRAS since inception 21 3.
