RELEVANCE OF AYURVEDA
THE DEMAND FOR AYURVEDIC DOCTORS IS DUE TO THE
TRUST DEVELOPED BY THIS MEDICINE AS A HERBAL ROUTE
TO CURING DISEASES.
Dr. Manoj Nesari, Deputy Advisor, Dept. of AYUSH, Ministry of Health &
Family Welfare, Government of India, says, So far we have set up about 300
Ayurveda colleges, 2,000 hospitals, 13,000 dispensaries and 7,910 manufacturing units. The number is significantly larger than other traditional systems
of medicines like Unani, Sidha, Naturopathy and Homeopathy.

The origin of Ayurveda dates back to Sanskrit speaking era. As a consequence, Sanskrit is taught as a part of the course, We are taught to read, write
and recite Ayurvedic texts in Sanskrit. Usually, teachers translate the text
into English or other language, shares Swati, a third professional year students at Tibbia College.

2. Research Scientist:
Research programmes like PhD is essential for taking up research at various companies and institutions. Some of the institutes that offer doctorate
programmes include Central Council for Research in Ayurveda and Siddha
(CCRAS), Tilak Ayurved Mahavidhyala and National Institute of Ayurveda
(Jaipur & Jamnagar).
Advanced degree holders (MD, PhD) and registered Ayurveda doctors
are regularly employed to supervisory/research/teaching positions with
educational and research institutions. Educational institutions have to be
motivated to train students to develop standard methods of research and
documentation skills, says Dr. Nesari from AYUSH.
Drug research supervision is prevalent in privately-held pharmaceutical
companies. Dr. Sanandan Thapliyal, Manager Scientific Services, Himalaya
Drug Co., Jobs at companies are highly rewarding. Unlike government jobs,
no corporate firm can tolerate lackadaisical approach towards work,

to deserving students. Himalaya offers financial aid to over 150 colleges
especially final year toppers. First topper (Jivaka) and second topper (Ayur
Visharda) gets Rs. 10,000 & Rs. 7,500 respectively. Yet, another company,
Aimil Pharmaceuticals grants a monthly scholarship of Rs. 1000 to first and
second year toppers. I have also received it in two years, I earned around

pharmaceuticals?
A. Himalaya products are exported to over 80 countries. The company needs
good talent who can represent the company produce, research and sell the
product. How long shall we depend on allopathic pharmacies/doctors? They
can never understand the basics of Ayurveda. Only an Ayurveda student can
understand the utility. It is their duty to make their product socially and globally accepted. They can join R&D, regulatory, production, marketing department. There are BAMS graduates who work as Managers/Production Manager/Licence Authority Manager. But MDs (Ayur) have an edge over others.
