Ayurvedic Research - Certain Rational Understanding

Abstract

From a pilot view through the Ayurvedic Research Scenario, One can see that there are five fields predominantly working upon this agenda. They are academic institutions, Private R and D units, Govt. Ayurvedic Research bodies, Govt. Non Ayurvedic Research bodies and international firms and establishments. But the deficiency in the utilization of outputs of all these works is, there is no concomitant, co-ordinated works and is without central regulations. The lack of co-ordination among these fields reduces the growth rate of our researches. One can’t deny the fact that several researches are having only an eagle eye to commercialise the name “Herbal” and to fill certain pockets. Research scholars with fundamental attitudes towards Ayurveda, are trying to substantiate whole ancient texts and this leads to unidirectional researches and there by satisfying certain hidden political agendas. Lack of productive researches in the fundamental principles will definitely lead to the deterioration of Ayurvedic popularity. Present study cover problems of present Ayurvedic Researches, need of coordinate perspective researching planning, need of multi centre researches with long term planning, need of negative studies in the development of science, need of adaptation of current research output in academic syllabus and curriculum.
