AYUSH university

The State Cabinet recently announced the set of a one-of-a-kind AYUSH (Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homoeopathy) University in Kurukshetra in Haryana. Currently, the Shri Krishna Government Ayurvedic College is not a University, but it will be upgraded into one. While talking to the press, Health Minister Anil Vij said, “Cabinet has approved a proposal in this regard and the Shri Krishna AYUSH University would have courses of all the systems of AYUSH. The institute is expected to be functional soon with various facilities”

He also mentioned that at present only one Homeopathic and 10 Ayurvedic colleges are functioning in the State, including two government colleges. Earlier, these were affiliated with Pandit Bhagwat Dayal Sharma University of Health Sciences, Rohtak. However, all the 11 colleges would now be affiliated with Shri Krishna AYUSH University. Students from other states who are interested in these courses too can take admission in this AYUSH University.

It will offer undergraduate and postgraduate courses in all AYUSH systems including Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homeopathy. It will also include surgery, anatomy, physiology and ‘panchakarma’ among others.

This move by the government will surely prove to be a big development for Kurukshetra in the educational space.
