Bill to give ‘national importance’ tag to Gujarat Ayurveda institutes introduced in Rajya Sabha

The Rajya Sabha passed the Institute of Teaching and Research in Ayurveda Bill 2020, paving way to establish a state-of-the-art Ayurvedic institution which will be called the Institute of Teaching and Research in Ayurveda (ITRA) at Jamnagar, Gujarat. The ITRA will be formed by merging the existing Ayurveda institutes and will be conferred with the status of an institution of national importance (INI). The entities that will be merged include — Institute for Post Graduate Teaching and Research in Ayurveda, Shree GulabKunverba Ayurveda Mahavidyalaya, Institute of Ayurvedic Pharmaceutical sciences and Maharshi Patanjali Institute for Yoga Naturopathy Education & Research.

These institutes had come up during the past decades, and collectively made a unique family of Ayurveda institutions existing in close proximity. The synergies among the different constituent institutions will help ITRA to demonstrate high standards of such education and to emerge as a lighthouse institution to the entire AYUSH Sector. ITRA will be the first institution with INI status in the AYUSH Sector. The Bill was earlier passed in Lok Sabha on 19th March, 2020.
