On Monday, the government introduced a bill in Lok Sabha which aims to recognize a cluster of ayurveda institutions in Gujarat as the institutes of national importance.
The bill named ‘The Institute of Teaching and Research in Ayurveda’ was introduced in Lok Sabha by Minister of State in Ministry of Ayush Sripad Yesso Naik. The bill aims to club together with a cluster of Ayurveda institutes at the Gujarat Ayurveda University campus and confer upon them the status of Institution of National Importance.
The three institutes which will be clubbed are Institute of Post Graduate Teaching and Research in Ayurveda, Gulabkunwerba Ayurveda Mahavidyalaya and Institute of Ayurveda Pharmaceutical Sciences.
The bill, however, faced opposition from Saugata Roy (TMC) as he asked why the institute cannot be setup in Kerala, Delhi, Varanasi or West Bengal. Shashi Taroor, Congress, also opposed the bill and said that the government has been selective in the selection of the three institutes.
Introducing the Bill, Mr. Naik said he would look into suggestions made by members of the House.
