Central India’s Pandit Khushilal Ayurvedic Hospital and College is about to attain the renowned designation of a National Institute of Ayurveda. It gives authorities hope that the Department of AYUSH has drafted a proposal and presented it to the Union Ministry of AYUSH. Five national-level Ayurveda institutes are currently operating throughout India, although there isn’t one in Central India. Pandit Khushilal Ayurvedic Hospital continues to grow, adding a 50-bed Super Specialty Panchkarma Centre and more postgraduate seats to the college. As a result, the hospital has become a leader not only in Madhya Pradesh but also in the neighbouring states. The State AYUSH Department has taken the initiative to establish this prestigious institution as a National Institute of Ayurveda because it recognises its potential. Both patients and students would surely profit from this advancement.

The Union Ministry of AYUSH’s direct funding ends the budget crisis.

Pandit Khushilal Ayurvedic Hospital and College will be exempt from financial restrictions once it attained the designation of a National Institute of Ayurveda. The Union Ministry of AYUSH will directly supply the required budget, in contrast to its existing circumstance where it must rely on meagre financing sources. By providing direct support, the school is able to upgrade the instructional resources available to students and increase its patient treatment facilities without facing any budgetary constraints.

Patient and student advantages

Patients: Enhanced access to more specialists and treatment

The number of specialists working at Pandit Khushilal Ayurvedic Hospital and College after it becomes a National Institute of Ayurveda would rise significantly. As a result, a wider variety of specialised healthcare experts would directly benefit people seeking treatment. Patients can receive specialised care catered to their unique medical issues with additional specialists readily available. Patients’ burdens would be reduced by this advancement, which would also improve their entire treatment experience.

Students have access to top-notch instructors and cutting-edge labs.

The institution achieving the designation of a National Institute of Ayurveda would have various benefits for the students attending Pandit Khushilal Ayurvedic Hospital and College. They would have access to a pool of faculty members that are highly qualified and have substantial Ayurvedic knowledge. The kids’ learning experience would be considerably improved and would help them advance academically as a result of this exposure to renowned faculty members.

The revamped school would also offer cutting-edge laboratories with the most recent tools and technologies. Students would be able to conduct real-world experiments and receive first-hand experience thanks to these cutting-edge facilities, which would help them better comprehend the concepts and methods of Ayurveda. 

Increasing the Research’s Purpose

The Pandit Khushilal Ayurvedic Hospital and College only does local-level research at the moment. However, the range of research would greatly expand if it were given the designation of a National Institute of Ayurveda. The institution would have the authority to carry out significant national research initiatives that would expand Ayurvedic knowledge and methods. The institution as well as the larger Ayurvedic community would gain from this increase in research capacity.

National Institutes of Ayurveda currently operating

There is currently no National Institute of Ayurveda in Central India, however there are several prestigious institutions in other parts of the nation:

• National Institute of Ayurveda, Jaipur
• National Institute of Ayurveda, Panchkula
• All India Institute of Ayurveda, Delhi
• All India Institute of Ayurveda, Goa

• Institute of National Importance, Jamnagar

An All-India Institute of Ayurveda (AIIA), which would serve as a centre of excellence for tertiary Ayurvedic healthcare and advanced patient care, will soon be established in Uttar Pradesh.

Ayurveda’s director, Dr. PC Saxena, stated: “The state government has received a proposal for AIIA.” With approval, the procedure will begin with the selection of the land needed to create the AIIA. This will be Uttar Pradesh’s first AIIA.

AIIMS, or the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, is comparable to AIIA. Under the Ayurvedic medical system, an AIIA offers postgraduate/doctoral and postdoctoral instruction, research facilities, and top-notch patient care.

Apart from medical expertise and connections to the current healthcare system, intramural and extramural research is another important component of an AIIA.

“For the AIIA to be established, we need about 15 acres of land. Planning the infrastructure and facilities would start after the state government authorises the project and land is identified,” Dr. Saxena stated.

Varanasi is most likely to be a district where the project is located in eastern Uttar Pradesh. The state government will make a final decision.

Secretary General of the Association of International Physicians, Dr. Abhishek Shukla, stated: “National and international collaboration is a key component of AIIA. Being the premier Ayurvedic institution, AIIA may work with other medical specialities to conduct research and provide patient care.

Currently, there are over 100 Ayurveda colleges in Uttar Pradesh, including 65 commercial institutions and an AYUSH University in Gorakhpur.
