Project Outline for Strengthening Traditional Healing Systems for servicing rural/poor / deprived population

Background

Varanasi, the ancient holy pilgrim city of Hindus is situated on the bank of holy river Ganges. Varanasi, earlier known as Kashi, is one of the oldest living cities in the world. It has been known as a centre for knowledge based on the rich heritage of Hindu Vedic Culture dissipating various steams of knowledge through Vedas, Ayurveda, being one of them. Ayurveda means science of long and healthy life. Ayurveda defines health as spiritual, emotional and physical well being and absence of any disease. Major thrust of Ayurvedic science is on the prevention of diseases and leading healthy way of living. Only a part of Ayurveda is devoted towards treatment of diseases. 

Over the period of time Varanasi has emerged as defacto capital of Purvanchal which includes East Uttar Pradesh and bordering areas of Bihar and MP. Varanasi has gradually emerged as a major centre for health management and education. Everyday about 10,000 people are entering the city from outside looking for treatment of diseases.

Dr Ganga Sahai Pandey has been a scholar and practitioner of Ayurvedic science of international repute. A special team of WHO came down to visit him to study clinical application of Ayurveda and  to observe the art of traditional drug making. Dr Pandey has also written many books on Ayurveda, one of them is `Kaya Chikitsa’ on which he received Sahitya Academy Award and `Mangla Prasad Paritoshik’.
