Orissa Health and Family Welfare Department has identified a patch of 20 acres under Bhubaneswar tehsil for the proposed Central Research Institute with 100-bedded hospital of yoga and naturopathy in the State.
Director of Central Council for Research in Yoga and Naturopathy has been requested to file a requisition before tehsildar of Bhubaneswar to process the case for alienation of land in favour of the council.
“We have identified the land at Binjhagiri which is to be transferred in the name of director of CCRYN free of cost. Land alienation process takes time.
But once the land comes under their possession, infrastructural development for the institute would begin immediately,” said D. P. Behera, joint secretary of State Health and Family Welfare department.
District magistrate of Khurda district was also asked to expedite official process for establishment of the Central Institute.
The institute would have Outdoor Patient Department, Indoor Patient Department and different branches of Yoga and Naturopathy, Mr. Behera said.
According to State Health Department sources, the institute would mainly deal with lifestyle diseases.
The Union Department of AYUSH is expected to invest Rs. 35 crore on the project, it added.
Upon materialisation, the hospital will be one of its kind in the State.
Naturopathy, which is a very old science, prescribes healthy living and a drugless system of healing.
It relies on diet and fasting therapies. Yoga is now the latest rage among health conscious people.
