Govt launching National AYUSH Mission (NAM)

ayushNew Delhi: The Union Cabinet chaired by the Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, gave its approval for launching of the National AYUSH Mission (NAM) with its core and flexible components on 15.09.2014.

The proposed Mission will address the gaps in health services through supporting the efforts of State/UT Governments for providing AYUSH health services/education in the country, particularly in vulnerable and far-flung areas. Under NAM special focus will be given for specific needs of such areas and for allocation of higher resources in their Annual Plans. The Mission will help in:

  1. The improvement of AYUSH education through enhancement in the number of upgraded educational institutions;
  2. Better access to AYUSH services through increase in number of AYUSH hospitals and dispensaries, availability of drugs and manpower;
  3. Providing sustained availability of quality raw material for AYUSH systems of medicine; and
  4. Improving availability of quality Ayurvedic, Siddha, Unani and Homeopathy (ASU&H) drugs through increase in number of pharmacies, drug laboratories and improved enforcement mechanism of ASU&H drugs.

Background:
India possess an unmatched heritage represented by its ancient systems of medicine like ASU&H which are a treasure house of knowledge for preventive and promotive healthcare. The positive features of the Indian systems of medicine namely their diversity and flexibility; accessibility; affordability, a broad acceptance by a large section of the general public; comparatively lesser cost and growing economic value, have great potential to make them providers of healthcare that the large sections of our people need.

  1. Thanx to our Respected Modiji for his work and support.
    We all waiting A real life Sir, A life with real satisfaction .
    A life to live in and to make Bharat a country named after King Bharat`

  2. So, sir, what do u think!
    All the work of Organon z useless!!
    I don’t think so!
    Its the philosophy. Every science has its won philosophy.
    Time z changing & so also the civilization. But it doesn’t mean that the whole process of life has changed.
    Our parents are old and grandparents are more older, but that doesn’t mean that we will present them as useless or unscientific fellow. Because, sometimes when this so-called scientific way fails, then those unscientific views help.No one can deny this.Can we say them inharmonious , in such circumstances!
    I agree that more research are required in AYUSH systems, but we shouldn’t forget that the origin of anyTreatment or medicines z from `Atharba Veda, which z claimed to be the Origin of Chikistha Sastra in the Universe.And that also claimed to be one of the leading Vedas among Chatur Vedas!
    We can’t say any science inharmonious!
    Because of lack of facilities and oppertunities these science are a way back. Once appropriate recognition and oppertunities will be given then these science will start their glorious journey again, leaving behind every comment…..
    Last but not the least, I want to remind every one,

  3. Very nice interesting really required in our science.it must be scientific. Appreciablr work. Sir give more information.

  4. The improvement of AYUSH education through enhancement in the number of upgraded educational institutions.
    HOW?
    let me explain.
    I would like to bring in your knowledge following facts.
    There are three recognized faculties of medicine in India i.e. Allopathy, Ayurvedic & Homœopathy. Out of these three faculties, the students two faculties are taught with obsolete data. The students of Ayurvedic & Homœopathic faculties are taught with obsolete data. Yes! The literature of Ayurveda & Homœopathy has not been updated since their inception. The literature of Ayurveda has not been updated since about 2500 years. While Homœopathy has not been updated since its inception its inception i.e. 200 years. Therefore, the curriculum of them is inharmonious in nature.
    For example: The current curriculum of UG and PG i.e. BHMS and MD, which is proposed and recommended by the Central Council of Homœopathy CCH for the study of students, is fundamentally inharmonious in nature. The knowledge of the subjects in question and studies thereof, which are taught in the courses, is not compatible with each other. I can’t understand why Homœopaths of Asian origin, especially of India, cannot look ahead of Hahnemann. Suppose, if any physician presently got the knowledge that equals to the Hahnemann; still he has to breathe in the 18th-19th centuries. He shall have no knowledge of the even cell, immunity, metabolism or bacteria etc.. If he will write anything, certainly he will quote like Hahnemann[1] in his text.
    On account of lack of up-gradation, ‘Organon’ is still taught as per understandings of 18th-19th century; whilst other subjects are taught in their most updated form. It generates a lot of confusion in the mind of pupils. In the classroom of ‘Organon’, the teacher, as per guidelines of CCH, taught or give the conceptual (intangible) understanding related to diseases and cure; whereas teacher of the pathology tries to impart the most accepted basis of the diseases and cure; i.e. cellular, molecular and genetic basis of the diseases and cure. It’s a story like such schools, where one teacher teaches that, the robbery is an evil and sin; it should not be done; whilst in the other classroom, other one says that, if anything is of our use, there is no harm in robbing it out. The meaning of education has been lost somewhere in the race of money-making. Now, on the name of education only information is feed up. But, at least some values must be preserved very genuinely.
    I am scientist working on medicine since last 40 years. In context of present scenario, I have updated the Homœopathic concept. But my updated version, even after appreciation by numerous related authorities over the globe, in vain. The concern authorities are waiting for some (sum) more recognition. Only then they may think to include my updates in curriculum.

    [1] Dr. Hahnemann in the footnote no. 10, in the introduction of 6th edition of ‘Organon’, on the page no. 44, referring to Mullen, quoted by Birch in the History of the Royal Society, inscribed that: “Life was endangered by injecting a little pure water into a vein.” Moreover, he added that, referring to the Autenrieth, Physiologie, ii,? 784: “Even the mildest fluids introduced into the veins endangered life.” It has now proved mistaken notion and wrong. Everybody now knows that, as per need and requirement of the patient litters of intravenous fluids have injected into veins. Since discovery of bacterial existence was not accomplished in his era, he was unaware of the bacterial infection. Consequently, due to lack of knowledge, referring to the Med. Comment of Edinb., Dec. 2, vol. ii, 1793, in the introduction of 6th edition of ‘Organon’, in the footnote no. 10, on the page no. 45, he inscribed that: “A girl in Glasgow, eight years of age, having been bit by a mad dog, the surgeon immediately cut the piece clean out, and yet thirty-six days afterwards she was seized with hydrophobia, which killed her in two days.” Anybody now can assume that, let it be how faster surgeon might have executed the amputation operation; it might never be faster than the blood circulation of the victim of dog bite. Suppose, if only few seconds of time would have consumed in carrying the victim to the surgeon and completing the operation by him, which is not possible at all, the blood of victim with the pathogenic bacteria certainly might have circulated at least hundreds of times in the body. Therefore, ill-fated victim was died of hydrophobia and not due to dynamic power. Similarly, on the page no. 45 he inscribed that: “The most careful and prompt washing of the genitals does not protect the system from infection with the venereal chancrous disease.” And that: “The slightest breath of air emanating from the body of a person affected with smallpox with suffice to produce this horrible disease in a healthy child.” All these inscriptions are good examples of the lack of knowledge on the part of Hahnemann. On account of lack of knowledge, in the introduction of 6th edition of ‘Organon’, on the page no. 46-47, he wrote that: “What ponderable quantity of material substance could have been absorbed into the fluids, in order to develop, in the first of these instances, a tedious dyscrasia (syphilis), which when uncured is only extinguished with the remotest period of life, with death; in the last, a disease (smallpox) accompanied by almost general suppuration, and often rapidly fatal? In these and all similar cases is it possible to entertain the idea of a material morbific matter being introduced into the blood? A letter written in the sick-room at a great distance has often communicated the same contagious disease to the person who read it. In this instance, can the notion of a material morbific matter having penetrated into the fluids be admitted? But what need is there of all such proofs?” Moreover he added that: “In these cases, where is the material morbific principle that entered in substance into the body, there to produce and keep up the disease, and without the material expulsion and ejection of which a radical cure were impossible?” All of the above mentioned examples show the status of knowledge of the medical science at that time.

    • dr harimann ,you r working as a scientist ..if you can not invent anything dont try to destroy any thing..do you know stephen hocking {physist ) has claimed higgs boson particle that is created in surns experiment under the soil ,one day it will destroy the earth . why dont you start petiton banch against it.
      you have no knowledge about nano particle that was hypothetically presented by kents in 200 years back.
      if try to undersatnd the disease dynamics in nano concept you will realise how much you r idiot and harmful man in this world.
      study more , try to understand the nano particle .try to read scientific work on homoeopathy ..please ,all the homoeopaths sign the petition against this guy .about his education level ,how he can claim himself as ascientist.

    • dr harimann.if u can not invent any thing dont destroy any thing
