Mysore will soon have a college for Yoga and Naturopathy which will include a 100-bed hospital. The state has sanction Rs 1.70 crore for the construction of the college building on the Krishnarajasagar Road, near the Princess Krishnajammanni Tuberculosis Sanatorium (PKTS). State director of AYUSH (Ayurveda, Yoga & Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homeopathy) G N Srikantiah said in Mysore that the building would be ready in about 2-3 years.
The college will have ayurveda, yoga, unani and homeopathy. There is presently no Siddha branch.t will include a 100-bed hospital where patients will be treated with the traditional system of Indian medicine. The ‘Mane Maddu’ (house remedies) programme was being continued by the department. Around 650 Ayurveda clinics spread across the state were adopting two villages each and propagating awareness on lifestyle habits, preventive measures and simple household remedies for minor ailments by using traditional methods. The idea was to improve and maintain the general health of the rural people with least cost, Srikantiah said.
In this direction, he said the Department was conducting public health programmes in association with NGOs.
It was organising a three-day training programme for AYUSH doctors, alternative therapists, natural therapists, NGOs and interested general public about yoga, naturopathy and acupressure in Mysore from March 25, in association with Vijaya Foundation.
The workshop would lay emphasis on pain management diagnosis and treatment of chronic illness through acupressure, thus making cost effective remedies available to common man without any drugs either at no cost or low cost, he said.
Mysore Ayurveda College Principal Aruna said the workshop would also train AYUSH and allopathy doctors working in primary health care delivery system, which caters to more than 80 per cent of the illness in rural areas. It is expected to give training to at least 200 delegates.
Devendra Vora, renowned nature cure and acupressure therapist, whose “Health in Your Hands” book in Indian and foreign languages has been sold over 4 million and who has treated over 200,000 patients, will conduct the workshop.
