Today we have 1 state-run Ayurvedic College and 6 private Ayurvedic colleges.

    The TN government is giving importance to the Indian traditional medical system" the minister added. "Sidha Unani Ayurveda Yoga or Homoeopathy, is now used by many people, and they trust the medical treatment, which is a Tamilian tradition. The TN government is giving importance to the Indian traditional medical system," he further added.

    Speaking on the occasion, Tamil Nadu Health Secretary Gagandeep Singh Bedi also appealed to the gathering to use Ayurvedic medicines instead of Allopathic medicines. "Today, students have displayed the goodness of Ayurveda at the 8th National Ayurvedic Day. In our society, slowly and steadily, people are shifting from allopathy to Ayurveda medicines for traditional diseases," Bedi said.

    The TN Health Secretary also mentioned that he makes use of Ayurvedic medicine and gets cured. "The South is known for Ayurveda. We should create awareness and a good health system for people. Ayurveda is known for better treatments of skin diseases and back pain than allopathy. I also use ayurvedic medicines," Bedi stated.

    Nowadays, the impact of non-communicable diseases is increasing, so without letting people become dependent on the allopathic system, ayurvedic stem gives non-side effective medicine and care, he added. The health secretary further said, "We have one government ayurvedic college and six private ayurvedic colleges in Tamil Nadu working in the public interest."

    Meanwhile, Health Minister Ma Subramanian also introduced 'Deepavali Legiyam' by Tamil Nadu government-run Tamil Nadu Medicinal Plant Farms and Herbal Medicine Corporation (TAMPCOL).
