Govt launches Ayurveda dataset on Clinical Trials Registry- India CTRI Portal

New Delhi, July 05: Taking the significant step towards worldwide visibility for Ayurveda-based clinical trials, AYUSH Minister Kiren Rijiju launched Ayurveda dataset on The Clinical Trials Registry- India CTRI Portal.

 

During the portal launch, Ayurveda and Yoga are the rich cultural heritage of India and the mindset needs to change about Ayurveda and Indian traditional knowledge. He said this mindset is wrong, that Ayurveda is not scientific. Talking about the National Digital Health Mission, he said, Ayush Ministry will play an important role in this mission.

 

 

 

The creation of the Ayurveda dataset in CTRI facilitates will make use of Ayurveda terminologies to record clinical study metadata based on Ayurveda interventions. To date, clinical trials in Ayurveda were dependent on terminology borrowed from modern medicine. With this portal and joint efforts of ICMR and CCRAS, Ayurvedic terminology has become part of CTRI.

 

The Ayurveda Dataset of CTRI has been jointly developed by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) and Central Council for Research in Ayurvedic Sciences (CCRAS) under the Ministry of Ayush. Apart from the CTRI, Rijiju also launched four more portals namely AMAR, SAHI, e-MEDHA, and RMIS.
