I , hailing from a vaidya family , know quite well how the cult, so established even during British rule, perished due to negligence by the goverment in rule! HOW MANY ESTABLISHMENTS OF AYURVEDA WAS SET UP IN THE DEVELOPED INDUSTRIES , INSTITUTIONS AND OFFICES ? PRACTICALLY NONE, EXCEPT SOME SHOW OFFS! We saw all allopatic arrangements only! Thats why we sons of established ayurvedic practicing families SWITCHED OVER TO OTHER PROFESIONS FOR LIVELIHOOD! Is that an ENOUGH proof of negligence?

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.
