- The Ministry of Ayush’s Central Council for Research in Ayurveda Sciences (CCRAS) has launched the “Ayurveda Gyan Naipunya Initiative” (AGNI) to stimulate research and innovation among Ayurveda practitioners.
- AGNI aspires to chronicle and authenticate Ayurvedic medical practises, improve evidence-based practise culture, and encourage scientific research in the area.
- It gives Ayurveda practitioners a place to communicate their new practises, establishing an evidence-based culture.
- It also encourages scientific study to confirm pragmatic Ayurvedic practises.
Important functions
- In collaboration with the National Commission for Indian System of Medicine (NCISM), CCRAS will document and disseminate reported medical practises and treatment regimens for educational and scholarly reasons.
- AGNI is a forum for Ayurvedic practitioners to share their novel practises and experiences in the treatment of diverse medical situations.
- The project promotes an evidence-based practise culture among Ayurvedic practitioners, ensuring that their approaches are founded on scientific research.
- Through applications, AGNI hopes to locate interested Ayurveda practitioners who are prepared to help in the creation of a complete database.
