Mega ayurveda university for Jamnagar as Lok Sabha passes merger Bill

NEW DELHI: Lok Sabha has passed the Institute of Teaching and Research in Ayurveda Bill, 2020 to establish a mega Ayurveda university in Jamnagar, Gujarat.

The Bill, passed on March 19 proposes to “merge three Ayurveda institutes into one”.
Gujarat Ayurveda University campus Jamnagar - Institute for Post Graduate Teaching and Research in Ayurveda, Shri Gulabkunwerba Ayurveda Mahavidyalaya and Institute of Ayurveda Pharmaceutical Sciences will be merged to become the “Institute of Teaching and Research in Ayurveda”.

The new institution will be declared as an institution of National Importance (INI).
The Union Cabinet had approved the creation of the new university by merging three institutions in January.
An official statement related to the earlier Cabinet approval said the INI status will “provide it the autonomy to upgrade standard of Ayurveda education, frame various courses in Ayurveda as per national and international demand, adopt advanced evaluation methodology, etc.”

The new university will also “have the mandate to frame its own certification courses for deeper penetration of AYUSH across masses” and “help the institute to develop tertiary care in Ayurveda and to secure inter-disciplinary collaborations to give a contemporary thrust to Ayurveda".
