With a view to promoting trans-disciplinary research and practice, Indian Council for Medical Research (ICMR) and the Department of Ayush will set up a joint high-level decision-making body as the Government has already sanctioned Rs. 500 crore for the trans-disciplinary and integrated research during the current five year plan.
The joint panel, that will basically coordinate the efforts in both the sides, will have representation of all research councils in areas of Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani and Homoeopathy so that research and practices could be promoted in the areas of national interest.
Besides, the ICMR with its existing infrastructure facilities will also help scientifically evaluate at least 800 selected outstanding practices already used by the traditional and other practitioners in the country as the Government is keen to integrate Indian streams of medicines into the national programmes for optimal use of the vast infrastructure of hospitals and physicians.
