Experts to deliberate on child health through Ayurveda at 2-day seminar in Delhi

New Delhi, Aug 18 (PTI) Scholars, practitioners, researchers, and students will deliberate on traditional Ayurvedic approaches and contemporary evidence-based practices for promoting child health and wellness at a two-day seminar starting here on Monday.

Key features of the seminar include scientific research paper presentations on paediatric health in Ayurveda, poster presentations by young scholars and practitioners, and interactive sessions on preventive and promotive healthcare in children.

The Rashtriya Ayurveda Vidyapeeth (RAV), an autonomous organisation under the Ministry of Ayush, is organising the 30th national seminar on "Management of Illness and Wellness in Paediatrics through Ayurveda" at the Scope Complex Auditorium here.

"Ayurveda has always emphasised nurturing the health of children as the foundation of a healthy society. The seminar... is a timely initiative to highlight Ayurveda's holistic approach towards both illness management and wellness promotion in children," said Prataprao Ganpatrao Jadhav, Minister of State for Ayush and Health and Family Welfare.

Ayush ministry secretary Vaidya Rajesh Kotecha said the seminar is a valuable opportunity to bring together the Ayurveda fraternity on one platform.

"I am hopeful that the discussions will inspire new perspectives, strengthen evidence-based practices, and encourage greater collaboration in the field of paediatric Ayurveda. Such initiatives help bridge classical wisdom and modern healthcare needs," Kotecha said.

The seminar seeks to provide a comprehensive platform for advancing knowledge, sharing innovations, and encouraging collaborative research in paediatric Ayurveda, an Ayush ministry statement said. PTI PLB RHL RHL
