Background

Ayurveda believes that our body is made up of five elements (Panchabhutas). When joined in different

combinations, they make up the three “doshas” or “biological modes” which are the “Prakruti” or

nature of an individual and all things. As long as these three Doshas, namely Vata (air & space- “Wind”),

Pitta (fire & water- “bile”) and Kapha (water & earth- “phlegm”), are balanced, we enjoy perfect health.

Ayurvedic theory asserts that every human possesses a unique combination of doshas that define a

person’s temperament and characteristics. Each person has a natural system state, an innate

combination of the three elements, and she should seek balance by structuring her behavior or

environment to infuse more of the element(s) she lacks.

Ancient Indian books tell us that people used to live long and healthy lives spanning two hundred years.

The modern medicine also reflects the importance of Ayurveda in its base which is obtained from the

ancient texts and scriptures on which Ayurveda is based. And following ancient texts and scriptures, the

Vedas are of prime significance in the context in which the entire science of life had been created and

gathered, more than five thousand years ago.

The Event

The methods and specifications of Ayurveda, which is a highly detailed science of life, are complex for

the masses to connect with easily. Taking this into consideration, “Vibrant Gujarat National Ayurveda

Summit- 2014” was organized by ‘Health and Family Welfare Department’ of Government of Gujarat

with an intent to clear the fog surrounding Ayurveda and make it more easily accessible and explorable.

Ayurveda is believed to be the basis of all medical sciences and is a precious treasure of Indian history.

Yet it has not achieved the status it deserves, and least of all in India. The basis of this summit and expo

was to revive Ayurveda by changing perception of people towards Ayurvedic practices. The event was

also aimed at reviving the work patterns of the Ayurveda industry in India, such as improving its

marketing practices, global branding of Ayurveda, etc.

The first of its kind, one-day event witnessed academicians, practitioners, healthcare professionals,

students, researchers, manufacturers, international representatives, investors and inventors sharing a

common platform to discuss on ‘Enriching Public Health through Ayurveda’.

Backed by the involvement and support of major organizations, the event was unique in terms of scale

size, content, contributors and participants. Besides facilitating interaction between industry and foreign

delegates, the mega event also featured free health check-ups, lectures and counseling by specialists

5

from Ayurveda, Prakriti Pariksha, Nadi Pariksha and Panchkarma. Overall, the event had a total of eight

technical sessions by various experts.

Inaugural Session

The event started with “Dhanvantri Pujan” by Hon’ble Chief Minister and prayer recital by renowned

artist Shri. Saumil Munshi. The event was then inaugurated by lighting of the lamp by Shri. Narendra

Modi, Hon’ble Chief Minister of Gujarat. Various other dignitaries were also present.

all forms of medicine must be given due importance, and

Shri. Parbatbhai Patel, Hon’ble Minister of State for Health and Family

Welfare

Shri. Parbatbhai Patel in his address indicated that the Government of Gujarat organized this National

Ayurveda Summit to give a platform to researchers, practitioners and Ayurveda institutions to promote

Ayurveda on a global scale. He highlighted that over 7000 people from Ayurveda community gathered at

the mega event. Shri. Parbatbhai Patel also informed the audience that currently 10 Universities are

functional in Gujarat and impart courses related to Ayurveda out of which 4 are government

organizations. He pointed out that the world’s first Ayurveda University was Gujarat University,

Jamnagar with more than 40 international students. He informed the audience that with an expenditure

of around INR 150 crore, new Ayurveda College and Hospital was being built in Kolavda village of

Gandhinagar as a model Ayurvedic College for the state. The new college would have a 400-bed

hospital, with state-of-the-art facilities for Ayurveda, nursing, pharmacy, etc. Shri. Patel also added that

with a budget of over INR 75 crore, the state government has decided to start two new Ayurveda

colleges in Dahod and Rajpipla. Moreover, the state government is planning to widen its base of over

500 pharmacies.Hon’ble Minister expressed hope that setting up Ayurveda centres near tourists

destinations like Gir forest or in Saputara will not only boost medical tourism, but also will lead to overall

growth of tourism. Shri. Patel also indicated that to give Ayurveda its proper place in medical science,

the state government has brought together all the Ayurveda experts, manufacturers, practitioners on a

common platform, i.e., the Vibrant Gujarat Ayurveda Summit. It will explore all the business and medical

science possibilities of Ayurveda. He said that the seminars will cover topics like importance of Ayurveda

in pregnancy and motherhood and Ayurvedic kitchen remedies for health and beauty.

Shri. Narendra Modi, Hon’ble Chief Minister of Gujarat

Shri. Narendra Modi spoke of how the untapped potential of Ayurveda has significant scope in the

future as the concept of holistic healthcare was increasingly being adopted by people across the globe.

He stated that along with giving emphasis to the practitioners, an equal focus must be laid on the

Ayurveda medicine manufacturers. Speaking on promoting Ayurveda through better application of

technology, Shri. Narendra Modi highlighted how branding and packaging of the vast base of Ayurvedic

medicines, and the extensive knowledge of Ayurveda, would escalate their demand across the globe and

thereby increase our exports. He indicated that India has lot of talent but we need to present it to the

world in the most modern manner. He also suggested other ways of promotion, including digitalisation

of ancient manuscripts.

Shri. Narendra Modi also put forth many ways to promote the use of Ayurveda, some of which included

tapping the countries that believe in traditional medicine and engaging them in discussions and

affiliating our Ayurvedic colleges with foreign colleges. He stressed that by taking such initiatives at the

global level, other countries could be brought under the umbrella of Ayurveda and a corpus fund could

be created and used for intensive research in this field. The increased emphasis laid by the State

government, on promoting Ayurveda, was clearly reflected in the Hon’ble Chief Minister’s statement of

8

the budget for the same, which rose from INR 36 crore few years back to INR 325 crore in the current

plan.

Urging the audience to take effective steps at creating a ‘Swastha Bharat’, Shri. Narendra Modi called for

the need to raise awareness on Intellectual Property Rights, stating that patenting was the need-of-the-

hour for Ayurveda. He also spoke of the vast scope entailed in the practise of Ayurveda and emphasized

on the need to understand and value our rich Ayurvedic legacy, instead of doubting its prevalence and

effectiveness.

He highlighted how the prevalence and preference for Ayurveda will increase only if its practitioners

have trust in its effectiveness and only if the patient has enough patience to follow it. He also put forth

the example of Mahatma Gandhi’s immense faith in our culture and urged the audience to have faith in

the efficacy of Ayurveda.

Asserting that the problems of ‘hurry, worry and curry’ are the main cause of concern for humankind,

Shri. Modi called for the need to adopt an approach that promotes the balance of all three aspects and

ensures improved living. He also put forth the pioneering initiative of the ETC (Electro-Tridosh-Gram),

which, like the ECG, reflected the imbalance, if any, in the ‘Tridosh’ of the human body.

Dr. Bhagat Bhogra, Secretary, Organizing Committee

Thank You Address

Dr. Bhogra in his thank you address thanked the state government for providing a unique opportunity to

the Ayurveda community to come together and discuss various issues related to Ayurveda, its research

and marketing. He indicated that this summit shall act as a precursor to the vision of “Swastha Bharat”.

There is a solution for Non- Communicable Diseases (NCD) with Ayurveda

WHO also suggests use of traditional medicine for the management of NCDs

It is proposed to uplift the status of Gujarat Ayurveda University, Jamnagar as Central University for

the promotion and propagation of Ayurveda aggressively. Expansion of university affiliation outside

the country should be encouraged

Chair of Research should be set up at Ayurveda Educational Institutes with the support of Industry

Center of Excellence should be developed for purpose of strengthening of continuous education in

Ayurveda

An alliance of all the Ayurveda practicing countries should be formed to create a “Global Pressure

Group” to provide international platform and recognition to Ayurveda

Stress and Other psychological problems are becoming coming that can be well managed by

Rasayana and Manas Chikitsa described in Ayurveda. An applied protocol for the same may be

standardized

17

Lifestyle disorders like diabetes, mellitus, Hypertension etc. are increasing at alarming rate in the

society. An awareness program for adaption of healthy lifestyle as prescribed in Ayurveda i.e.

Dincharya, Rutucharya, Achar Rasayana should be an integral part of NCD management

Efforts on maintaining biodiversity & cultivation of medicinal plants for creating continuous,

sustainable and quality supply chain of herbal medicines to the people of the industry

Quality standardization of Ayurveda drugs is most essential and crucial for meeting the global

demand, which in turn calls for special infrastructure.

Existing Indian Institute of Ayurvedic Pharmaceutical Sciences (I.I.A.P.S.) should be upgraded as the

National Ayurvedic Pharmaceutical and Research Centre

There is a huge demand for para-medical staff, compounders, panchkarma technitions, etc. Regular

courses for this purpose should be started at existing Ayurveda institutes and by setting up

dedicated centers for the same

Quality audit rating system for Ayurveda clinics and hospitals for boosting quality Ayurveda services

and tapping the opportunity of Gujarat as “Ayurveda Health Tourism Destination”. The same may be

established in a PPP format

State Municipal Hospitals can establish Ayurveda Departments as a part of Holistic-Integrative

Healthcare, this being the new basis of delivery of AYUSH Services in the future

Promotion of an integrative approach to healthcare should be encouraged

For Ayurveda Sector to compete in an International Market, the sector needs to take the abode of

“Technology”

An alliance of all Ayurveda practicing countries should be formed to create global pressure group to

provide international platform and recognition to Ayurveda
