The Central Council for Research in Homoeopathy (CCRH), an autonomous body under the Ministry of AYUSH, Government of India, actively participated in the National AYUSH Conclave – Arogya Expo, held in Chennai from January 9 to 12. The four-day event brought together key stakeholders from across the AYUSH spectrum, highlighting India’s traditional systems of medicine and their growing role in public healthcare.
Organised by the National Ayurveda Students and Youth Association (NASYA), Chennai, and fully funded by the Ministry of AYUSH, the conclave served as a vibrant platform for research councils, national institutes, academicians, practitioners, students, and industry representatives from Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani, Homoeopathy, and allied sectors.
Representing CCRH were Dr. Kolli Raju, Assistant Director (RTD), Dr. D. Karthikeyan, Officer-in-Charge, along with Senior Research Fellows Dr. Brunda and Dr. Sahana from the Homoeopathic Research Institute for the Disabilities, Chennai. Their presence underscored CCRH’s commitment to translating homoeopathy research into accessible public health solutions.
The CCRH pavilion attracted significant public interest, offering free homoeopathic consultations and the distribution of medicines throughout the expo. Visitors were also provided with bilingual informational materials and pamphlets detailing CCRH’s ongoing research initiatives, disease-specific studies, and evidence-based applications of homoeopathy.
The expo was inaugurated by Padma Shri Dr. Agus Indra Udayana of Indonesia, with the participation of senior officials from the Ministry of AYUSH and other dignitaries. The event emphasized international collaboration, research dissemination, and community outreach as essential pillars for the future of AYUSH systems.
CCRH’s participation at the Arogya Expo reaffirmed its role in promoting scientific research, public awareness, and integrative healthcare, reinforcing homoeopathy’s relevance within India’s evolving healthcare landscape.
