Subsequent to the formation of AYUSH Ministry in our country and global awareness for Ayurvedic products, there is an increased demand of Ayurvedic products as well as Ayurvedic doctors. People have realised the effectiveness of Ayurvedic potions in increasing the resistance and immunity of the human body against ailments and infections. During the current pandemic many people have resorted to Ayurvedic methods of resistance and immune building and are immensely benefited. In this situation the 1 year certification course meant for BAMS qualified people is a boon as it will impart practical training and knowledge to the selected candidates in this apex institution in the field of Ayurveda. I straggly feel that the eligible candidates should take advantage of this opportunity and apply for selection for this coveted training to increase the skill levels in this niche area.
