Ayurveda in Education and Everyday Life

Efforts are underway to integrate Ayurveda into school and college curricula through partnerships with NCERT and UGC, aiming to share time-tested wisdom with future generations. There are now more than 30 AYUSH Information Cells worldwide, and new university Chairs have been established to expand Ayurveda’s influence.

International Standards and Medical Research

New ISO standards for Ayurveda are enhancing safety, quality, and trust on the world stage. The World Health Organization has included Ayurveda codes in the latest international classification and introduced benchmarks for training and practice, marking a major step for scientific recognition.
