Pursuant to the State government’s fervent appeals, the Centre has finally acknowledged the need to establish the Central Research Institute in Unani Medicine in Kadapa district.
The proposal was first made to Central Council of Research on Unani Medicine (CCRUM), New Delhi, way back in December 2015 by the then Minister for Health, Medical Education and Family Welfare Kamineni Srinivas, who even offered 25 acres of land for free in the undivided Kadapa district.
The need for Unani research centre has been increasingly felt in the State after the bifurcation under Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, with the allied facilities located in Hyderabad going to Telangana. It was against this backdrop that the Minister for Health and Family Welfare Vidadala Rajani flashed off a letter to the Union Minister for AYUSH Sarbananda Sonowal in August this year.
