RE:AYURVEDA WAS NEGLECTED BY THE GOVT AFTER INDEPENDENCE
by prakash malshe on Aug 20, 2008 06:59 PM

Yes, You are right, MM Gupta. I have personally seen deterioration in the state of affairs in two state run Ayurvedic colleges ar Hardwar. They lack the basic infrastructure, and for this reason are not a favorite destination of patients requiring emergency care. Moreover, students not willing to learn Ayurveda are recruited year after year. These, immediately after passing out start their own clinic and start prescribing Allopathic Drugs.The teachers themselves do not follow the path taught by Ayurved. I am yet to see a teacher who wears a turban, Applies Chandana to the forehead or carries a stick or an umbrella.If they or their family members fall sick, they resort to the modern medicine rather than taking Ayurvedic treatment.
