The facilities
for education and training of the Ayurvedic Science were
virtually non-existent in the country when the all India
Ayurvedic Congress was founded. The negligent attitude
towards Ayurveda of the Then Government and the policy
of propagation and expansion of Allopathic system by the
British rules in pursuance of their vested Interestes
had brought Ayurveda in a very deplorable interests had
brought Ayurveda in a very deplorable condition. Hence
the All India Ayurved Vidyapeeth was started in the year
1910 to work as the Academic wing of the Congress. The
Vidyapeeth made elaborate arrangements for the teaching
and training of Ayurveda throughout the country. More
than 40,000 well trained ayurvedic gradutes produced by
the Vidyapeeth are rendering health care service to the
suffering masses sven in far flung remote rural areas of
the country. The Chopra Committee formed by the
Government of India in 1946, stated in its report that
during all the vicissitudes of times the gradutes of the
vidhyapeeth alone kept Aurveda alive. |

Similarly,
another Committee formed by the Govt. of India, The
Uduppa Committee, commending the work of the vidyapeeth
stated that “It will not bean exaggeration to say that
this nosn official organization has done good service to
preserve and propagate the science of Ayurveda Thoughout
the country at a time when Government was rather
inactive in the development of Ayurveda”
(Uduppa Committee Report.) |
