The Tamil Nadu government introduced a Bill in the Assembly on Wednesday to establish a university for Siddha, Ayurveda, Unani, Yoga and Naturopathy and Homeopathy in the State.
According to the Bill tabled by Health Minister Ma. Subramanian, the AYUSH (Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homeopathy) medicine systems have rich traditions and literature.
“Scientific validation of the medicines of Siddha and other traditions needs to be further researched to be successful all over the world, so that the benefits can reach the entire humanity. In order to develop Siddha and other systems of Indian medicines and homoeopathy, giving due importance to research, the government considers that a separate university may be established for the purpose,” it said.
