Government of Kerala

The relevance and uniqueness of AYUSH as a health-care medical system need not be emphasized to the people of Kerala. Kerala has been at the forefront of propagating Ayurveda, especially to the citizens of overseas, is indeed commendable. At the same time, there is a need to strengthen the Ayurvedic tenets in the minds of the younger generation in the state. It is with this thought that first National Arogya Expo is being organised in Thiruvananthapuram during April 2015.I am happy that the National Arogya is being organized by my Ministry, in collaboration with the World Ayurveda Foundation and the Rajiv Gandhi Centre for Biotechnology, Thiruvananthapuram. I am confident that people of Kerala would make this Arogya Expo and the associated events a huge success! I appreciate the Government of Kerala for providing all the support for staging this Expo in the state capital.

As part of the World Ayurveda Congress, the World Ayurveda Foundation has been organising Arogya Expos in collaboration with the Government of India since 2002. The most recent one was held in New Delhi in November 2014. In each of the Arogya Expos that we had organised earlier, the objective of promoting Ayurveda was duly achieved, thanks to the millions of people who had visited the previous AROGYAs. The feedback from the manufacturers has always been very positive.We are extremely happy about the fact that we are coming back to Kerala after 2002, when we organised the first Arogya Expo in Kochi. We are sure that the people of Thiruvananthapuram will accept and welcome the first National Arogya Expo of the state wholeheartedly.We would like to thank the Ministry of AYUSH, Government of India, for collaborating with the World Ayurveda Foundation once again. The Government of Kerala deserves special appreciation for providing all necessary support.I welcome all the participants and wish the AROGYA and all the associated events a great success so that awareness about the strengths and goodness of the system spreads across the length and breadth of the state.

Wish you all great success!

Ayurveda, the way forward... I am extremely happy to note that Thiruvananthapuram is

hosting its first National AROGYA, organized by the Ministry of AYUSH, Government of India, in association with the World Ayurveda Foundation and Rajiv Gandhi Center for Biotechnology. I understand that the previous AROGYAs held in different locations of the country witnessed whole-hearted participation from the general public. Perhaps no other science other than Ayurveda has survived for over 5000 years. Ayurveda is still considered to be an effective, holistic system of medicine with apparently no side effects. In fact, AYUSH systems can provide ‘affordable’ and effective solutions to many common ailments that we see today. I am sure that AROGYA and its associated events will greatly contribute to the knowledge and understanding about AYUSH for a wide range of stakeholders. It will also be a definite boost to health tourism in the State. I wish all the best for the event.

KeRALA ... home to a glorious tradition of Ayurveda

The state of Kerala boasts a rich and historical tradition of Ayurveda dating back to several ccenturies. The timeless science of Ayurveda has been widely resorted to, for healing almost any ailment.

Kerala’s deeply-rooted Sanskrit heritage enabled Ayurveda practitioners to interpret the original Ayurvedic Sanskrit teachings with great aplomb. This was yet another significant factor that added strength to Kerala’s supremacy in the practice of Ayurvdea.

Nature’s blessingBlessed with a fairly pleasant climate and abundant natural wealth, Kerala presents the perfect natural setting for Ayurveda. Kerala’s tropical forests are home to over 900 Ayurvedic herbs and medicinal plants. To the south of Thiruvananthapuram, the capital city lies Agasthyakoodam peak, a treasure trove of medicinal herbs.

Health careWith more than 100 Government-run Ayurveda hospitals, several private health centres, and over 800 registered Ayurveda medicine manufacturing units, Kerala has the world’s best Ayurvedic healthcare infrastructure. Besides Ayurvedic ashrams, clinics, resorts and spas, Kerala has a number of Ayurveda colleges. Kerala boasts a strong stream of inward medical tourism, attracting a large number of visitors from India and abroad - especially for specialised Ayurveda treatments.

WORLD AYURVeDA FOUNDATIONFounded in 2011, the World Ayurveda Foundation (WAF) is an initiative by Vijnana Bharati aimed at global propagation of Ayurveda. As part of a larger intellectual movement under the aegis of the Swadeshi Science Movement undertaken by Vijnana Bharati, WAF is a platform that would take Ayurveda to the world for all the benefits mankind can draw from traditional health sciences.The objectives of WAF reflect global scope. Propagation and encouragement of all activities – scientific and Ayurveda-related – are the core principles. Support to research and health-care programmes through camps, clinics and sanatoriums, documentation, organization of study groups, seminars, exhibitions, and knowledge initiatives to popularize Ayurveda in the far corners of the world are the broad latitudes of focus at WAF.

Ayurveda as a sector requires the kind of stewardship and voice that genuinely bring out the ethos of Ayurveda in matters that govern policy and planning with State and Central government administration in India and the world over. WAF is positioned to provide this much-needed leadership with its wide participation of various stakeholder groups.

Ayurveda as a philosophy and science has a wide array of professional representation the world over. Students, research scholars, practitioners, therapists, public health administrators, cultivators, collectors, multidisciplinary scientific academics, and industry are the prominent stakeholders of Ayurveda today. WAF is a unique platform that has the energy, represented by all these stakeholders, to provide a multi-dimensional, relevant, scientific, in-depth and at all times traditionally rich experiential Ayurveda voice.

RAJIV GANDHI ceNTRe FOR BIOTecHNOLOGY The Rajiv Gandhi Centre for Biotechnology (RGCB) focuses on research programs designed as clusters of investigations on the central theme of Disease Biology, including basic and applied programs in human disease, animal disease and plant disease. RGCB has major research interests in elucidating the underlying biological and molecular mechanisms involved in ayurvedic therapeutics as well scientifically documenting the various plants used in composition of ayurvedic medicines through a Natural Products Research Platform that uses the tools of DNA fingerprinting, DNA barcoding, chemical fingerprinting, medicinal chemistry, cell biology, chemoinformatics and metabolomics.

VIJNANA BHARATIVijnana Bharati or VIBHA is a national movement dedicated to the integrated development of Bharat through the intervention of science, engineering and technology. Launched in 1991 by a group of thinkers and scientists, VIBHA has, today, 21 active units spread across the country and a few overseas units as well. Eminent scientists, academicians, policy makers, and social workers are the torch bearers of this movement.

VIBHA takes the spirit of ‘Swadeshi’ along with the ethos of our culture. It emphasizes that science and spirituality should go hand in hand. VIBHA works towards rural development, technology transfer and social empowerment so as to bring the fruits of advancement of science and technology for the benefit of the society. It has received two national awards for popularizing science and technology: one in 2006 from Dr Manmohan Singh, Hon’ble Prime Minister of India, and the other in 2007 from Mr Kapil Sibal, Hon’ble Minister for Science and Technology, Government of India.

VIBHA works towards national self-reliance and a developed India. Towards this mission, VIBHA adopts, adapts, and assimilates the best from everywhere and associates with the best of universities, R&D organizations, and other movements.
