Governor for promotion of Ayurveda – The Tribune India

Dharamsala, December 18

Governor RV Arlekar, who was on a visit to Kangra district, said the Ayurveda was a permanent system of medicine, which was being adopted by the world today.

The Governor said this while addressing heads of departments of various faculties at Government Ayurvedic College, Paprola. He said it was ironic that Ayurveda medicines were taken as an alternative medicine. The government was promoting the ayurvedic system in a big way. Ayurvedic decoction and kwath had been widely recognised during the pendemic, he said.

He also praised the administration for setting up herbal gardens on the college campus. We can also inspire others towards medicinal plants. I have spoken to the State Forest Department. The college can make a contribution. Students can play the role of a catalyst in this work, he said.

Principal of the college Vijay Choudhary, welcoming the Governor, said the specialisation was being made available in 14 subjects. A multi-facility hospital of about 200 beds had been set up, he said.

Nipun Jindal, DC, Kangra, informed the Governor about the decoction prepared by NGOs at the local level and other products made from bamboo. Earlier, the Governor visited the house of martyr Lance Naik Vivek Kumar in Upper Thehdu village under Jaisinghpur, met his family members and consoled them. TNS
