Posted On: 05 JUL 2021 6:19PM by PIB Delhi

Monday proved to be a historic and momentous day for the Ayush sector as five portals of importance were launched and four publications were released by the Union Minister of Ayush (IC) Shri Kiran Rijiju in an online event. The Minister also reminded that Ayush is going to play a big role in the National Digital Health Mission to provide health security to Indian people.

At a virtual event, the Minister launched CTRI portal pertinent to Ayurveda Dataset along with AMAR, RMIS, SAHI and e-Medha portals. He also released four publications related to the Traditional Indian Medicine System of India and lauded the collaborative efforts of ICMR and Archaeological Survey of India for these initiatives.


After the inclusion of dataset pertinent to Ayurveda in CTRI portal, the Ayurveda Clinical Trials would have worldwide visibility and will further the cause of strengthening Ayurvedic Research. Similarly, SHAHI portal incorporates authentic resources and will be of immense help in showcasing historical veracity of Ayurveda. With the help of e- Medha portal anyone can have online access to more than 12 thousand books. These books are related to Indian Medical Heritage and can be accessed through NIC’s e- granthalaya platform. AMAR portal, which was also launched today, is a repository for Ayurveda, Yoga, Unani, Siddha and Sowa- Rigpa Manuscripts and catalogues. Another Portal CCRAS- Research Management Information System or RMIS in short, is a research guidance platform.

While lauding the efforts of Ayush team in developing the portals, the Minister said that Indian Digital Health Mission is going to be the biggest programme in the Indian health sector and every effort is done to maximize the role of Ayush in it. The Minister termed development of portals as revolutionary, robust and momentous and said that as Indians, we all should take pride in our national heritage, customs and traditions. There is a mindset to look down on traditional Knowledge systems, referring to them as a thing of the past, or of no modern significance and unscientific. “We need to counter this and we need to celebrate our success in rediscovering our past, our national heritage and our traditional medicine system,” He said.

The Minister also pointed out many other digital initiatives of Ayush Ministry and said that Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi took every step to put Ayush in the forefront.

Prior to this, National Research Professor, Ayush, Bhusan Patwardhan termed the launching of portals as Historic and said some recent findings of Archaeology in Kashmir and Telangana are indicative of surgical interventions in India way back some 4000 years.

Luckily, software is one area in which there are no resource constraints.”

Highlighting the importance of cooperation and collaboration in the fight against COVID-19, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi said, “The Indian Civilization considers whole world as one family.

He also reminded everyone that apart from ensuring ease of use while offering multilingual access, CoWIN enabled continuous tracking of Adverse Events Following Immunization (AEFI) to not only respond to help such citizens to overcome Adverse Events but to also generate data for policy making.He also spoke how the National Digital Health Mission being spearheaded presently will house all kinds of databases and will have a facility for the patient to fetch his or her records, whenever required.

Co-WIN being a dynamic platform, can accommodate any modifications.”Lauding the achievements of CoWIN, he noted, “Since its roll out, the Co-WIN platform has already become the fastest growing tech platform in the world by getting over 36.50 crregisteredusers through a network of 1,38,427 COVID-19 Vaccination Centres.”

Shri Harsh Vardhan Shringla, Secretary, Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) acknowledged the CoWIN platform as a technology backbone, enabler and force-multiplier. He said, “As in the tradition of India, it is an open platform available for sharing as a public good. The platform can be adapted and scaled up for health interventions throughout the globe.

We harnessed the power of digital technologies to integrate and scale up these efforts.” He elaborated how other IT initiatives like theArogya Setu Mobile App for tracing and tracking COVID suspect individuals, Covid India PORTAL at the Ministry for real time monitoring of cases in India, e-Sanjivani App for telemedicine service has complemented the physical network of healthcare facilities.
