Our eorts are to tap real

potential of Ayurveda, other

AYUSH systems in imparting
preventive, promotive, holistic
healthcare to people

ayurveda can make a

global impact, like Yoga.
Honble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi
at 6th WAC Valedictory address

Shri Shripad Naik

Honble Minister for AYUSH

Govt. of India

It is with great pride and pleasure that I look forward to the 7th World Ayurveda Congress &
AROGYA Expo 2016 being held at the Science Centre, Kolkata. I trust this will turn out to be
one of the most significant events in the realm of Indian medicine, poised to make waves at a
global level.
I congratulate the World Ayurveda Foundation and the Ministry of AYUSH for organising the
event on a grand scale. Over the years we have seen the World Ayurveda Congress emerge
as a powerful platform for Ayurveda. Scholars, students, policy makers and practitioners are
known to congregate at the Congress for an update on evolving trends in the practice of Indian
medicine.
Students, industry representatives and Ayurveda practitioners benefit from the interactive
sessions, skill development workshops and symposia organised at the Congress. The Plenary
sessions dwell upon the efficacy of traditional life science and discuss the scope of integrating
Ayurveda into the realm of mainstream medical practice. Senior faculty and distinguished
Gurus of Ayurveda impact young minds, encouraging them to explore and experience the
vital benefits of Ayurvedic medicine for a safer and the healthier future. The World Ayurveda
Congress aims to nurture Ayurveda as a Way of Life and the AROGYA Expo elucidates the
viability of Ayurveda and natural medicine as a robust and thriving source of alternate medicine.
I wish the upcoming Congress the very best, and invite Ayurveda stakeholders from India and
abroad, to take advantage of this mega event. Welcome, all!

Shri Ajit M Sharan

MESSAGE
Anticipation soars high, as the 7th edition of the World Ayurveda Congress (WAC), being
organized by the World Ayurveda Foundation coming up. Ever since its inception in 2002, the WAC
has been one of the largest forums available to the Global Ayurveda fraternity, to converge on a dynamic
and interactive platform of knowledge and experiential wisdom. The previous editions were attended
by a number of international delegates and I expect an even greater participation this time round. The
6th WAC & AROGYA organised in New Delhi in November 2014 generated unparalleled response
from all stakeholders. The presence of Shri Narendra Modi, Honble Prime Minister of India, at the
valedictory function of 6th WAC bears testimony to this fact.
2.
The AROGYA Expo, supported by the Ministry of AYUSH as part of WAC, has been a major
attraction during every single WAC, with the general public thronging the stalls. Quite obviously,
Ayurveda is making a steady foray into mainstream medicine.
3.
This year, as Kolkata hosts the prestigious event, I invite Ayurveda enthusiasts from across India
and abroad, to participate in large numbers, and benet from this purposeful event. The Ministry of
AYUSH actively supports the 7th WAC & AROGYA towards propagation of Ayurveda, and looks
forward to an eminently successful Congress. I wish the Congress all success.

MESSAGE
The World Ayurveda Foundation proudly presents the 7th edition of World Ayurveda Congress (WAC), a
knowledge festival in all its grandeur, thanks to the active support of the Ministry of AYUSH, Govt. of India
and numerous volunteers who make it happen. A mammoth event such as this entails coordinated efforts
of the organizers, supporters, facilitators and the public at large.
Ayurveda is not just a system of medicine, but in context of the WAC platform, a scientific update for all
concerned with holistic health. WAC seeks to establish Ayurvedic concepts duly validated for the benefit of
the scholar and practitioner and facilitate the progressive nuance of Ayurveda as a distinctively recognized
discipline of mainstream medicine. WAC provides a forum for initiatives, innovation, research, experiential
understanding of basic Ayurveda fundamentals applicable for practice and therapy. WAC brings together
scholars, guides, practitioners, therapists, policy makers, public health officers, industry, the global
Ayurvedist and above all students. A knowledge festival in every way, it facilitates a global movement for
progressive studies and dimensions as an Ayurveda update in every way. WAC is a network facilitating new
dimensions to the delegates quest for a wider scope of study and practice.
In this 7th edition, I take the opportunity to especially invite modern medicine practitioners and biomedical
researchers to observe ancient Ayurveda interventions, in the interest of public health and work towards
promoting Ayurveda and allied forms of complementary medicine for prevention and the treatment of
diseases where applicable. Placing the interest of our patients first, let us together actively participate in
the 7th World Ayurveda Congress and contribute towards strengthening a safe and sustainable form of
integrated medical practice.

World Ayurveda
Congress
Advancement in modern sciences and paradigm shift in assessing
the therapeutic value of old and exisitng medical practices
often lead to the questioning of traditional approaches. Hence,
sustenance of traditional sciences requires strong advocacy. Forums
and groups that bring out the continued relevance and nuances of
traditional therapies such as Ayurveda create a sure-footed impact
over time.
Ayurveda - the science of life is the source of most health care
systems. However, like all things ancient and traditional, the
practice of Ayurveda was beset with challenges, especially at the
turn of the 20th century. At this point of time there was a strong
felt need for a credible platform that would potentially disseminate
authentic, unbiased, comprehensive information to national and
global audiences. Acknowledging this need, Vijnana Bharati, as
part of its Swadeshi Science Movement organized the first World
Ayurveda Congress (WAC) in 2002 at Kochi. WAC was to grow
into a potential platform to propagate Ayurveda during the new
millennium. It is to be noted that despite the stated challenges,
global awareness of Ayurveda was on the rise during this period.
Increasingly, people across the world were re-discovering Ayurveda
as a panacea for lifestyle-related and chronic diseases. Also, there
was new evidence to validate Ayurvedic scriptures, thus piquing
interest in this science.
Over 12 years and through six Congresses, the WAC has emerged as
a global platform for all stakeholders for networking and engaging
in intellectual exchange to strengthen the Ayurveda sector, reaffirm
their sense of purpose and envision the future. WAC showcases
advances in relevant fields, orients students and facilitates
interaction between professionals and consumers, thus boosting
Ayurveda commerce.

GOALS OF WAC
Having established itself as a vital platform for Ayurveda, WAC has set itself the
following goals for the future:
To facilitate acceptance and recognition for Ayurveda as a complete
health system adoptable in all countries across the world
To create appropriate platforms for scientific backing of Ayurveda
along with suitable infrastructure to popularize the outcomes
To make Ayurveda an integral part of health-care management
Within the larger objectives, the specific key achievables identified
are as follows:
To create interest groups in 30 countries including those
in the European Union, Association of South-East Asian
Nations, the United Arab Emirates and North America
To formulate international peer-review panels
in basic and medical sciences for credible
guidance and validation of research
To initiate the creation of a network
of medical institutions, laboratories,
and universities across the world for
aiding joint research and creating a
database of management efficacy
of Ayurveda

Ayurveda Congress &
AROGYA Expo 2016
The 7th World Ayurveda Congress and AROGYA Expo, opens yet
another window to a healthier future. The previous editions of
WAC, held at Cochin, Pune, Jaipur, Bengaluru, Bhopal and Delhi,
had witnessed a highly welcoming response. The highest number
of delegates, numbering more than 4200 attended the WAC at
Bengaluru. The largest number of visitors who participated in the
AROGYA Expo was at Pune where more than 500,000 individuals
took advantage of the Forum. The highest number of foreign
delegates numbering 264 attended the Bengaluru Congress.
The 7th WAC, scheduled be held at Science Centre, Kolkata from
1 - 4 December, has further fanned the expectations of stakeholders,
Ayurveda practitioners and enthusiasts. Anticipating a huge
response, the WAC Secretariat has made a booking for the venue
through the Science City authorities.
Well, mere numbers do not make up the whole story, yet they
speak volumes about the significance and magnitude of an event.
The 7th WAC will hold 5 plenary sessions, 25 parallel sessions and a
huge number of paper presentations, complemented by a series of
associated events. Welcome, one and all!

Ayurveda, the centuries-old, tried and trusted form of

Indian medicine has been growing popular amidst global
nations in recent times. The World Ayurveda Congress
and AROGYA Expo, held in various Indian cities since the
year 2002, brings together an astounding number of
Ayurveda practitioners, scientists and researchers
from India and abroad, as well as teachers,
students and health care professionals seeking
safe and efficient treatment for a wide range of
ailments and health conditions.
Ayurveda has a unique form of medicine,
surgery, pathology and several other
disciplines concerned with health care
and curative medicine.

7th WAC Focal Theme

Strengthening
the Ayurveda Ecosystem
In Charaka Samhita, the sage physician, Charaka illuminates that Ayurveda, the Knowledge of Life shall never attain finality.
He advises that therefore, humility and conscientious endeavor should characterize its approach to knowledge. He upholds
that the entire world consists of teachers for the wise and therefore, knowledge, conducive to health, longevity, fame and
excellence, coming even from an unfamiliar source, should be received, assimilated and utilized with earnestness. With
this philosophy of relentless reinvention ingrained, Ayurveda has rejuvenated itself, several times over during its 5000 year
history, to keep-up with advances in human knowledge and abreast with changing social necessities, though never digressing
from its core philosophies of Panchamahabhoota siddhanta and Tridosha vichar.
Yet another time has come, another dawn and another era, when humans y to moon and strive to find the God particle,
when genes are cut and pasted so that bacteria produce human hormones, when brain implants of silicon drive a car on the
road, when the relevance of the time tested knowledge is again questioned, by a society blinded in the brightness of material
science. Yet another time has come, for us to contemplate, reinvent and revitalize the Knowledge of Life. This time, it also
needs to rejuvenate the environment, so that it can ourish again and bestow greater good for Life. It is a humongous task.
From the congregation of intelligent minds and timeless wisdom at the 7th World Ayurveda Congress, we hope, shall evolve
the nidus, for such a renaissance movement, which shall form a wave that sweeps and unifies the far corners of human
knowledge and social intelligence and create yet another glorious age for Ayurveda and human health.

The 7th World Ayurveda Congress will be conducting exclusive
Scientific Sessions to showcase the recent advances in research
made in the field of Ayurveda.

the abstracts submitted as per guidelines outlined below.
The decisions of the Scientific Committee are final on all matters
pertaining to the presentation and publication with regard to
the Congress.
The abstracts must be submitted only through the online
submission module at www.ayurworld.org

General Recommendations
The title of the abstract should clearly indicate the subject of
the research, the method and purpose of the study. If selected,
it will also be the title of the presentation. The target group of
practitioners, planners, manufacturers, consumer groups and
traders. Scientific abstracts should not be considered as a means
to advertise products. The World Ayurveda Congress provides
alternate opportunities for promotion of products.
To submit abstracts and papers, use the online module by visiting
www.ayurworld.org. Abstracts submitted in any other mode will
not be accepted. It is the responsibility of the authors that the
papers are written in correct British English. The editors will not do

Signature

MINISTRY OF AYUSH
GOVERNMENT OF INDIA

Created in 1995 as the Department of Indian

Systems of Medicine and Homoeopathy, it was
renamed as Department of AYUSH (Ayurveda,
Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and
Homoeopathy) in November 2003.
The department has become a full-edged
Ministry in November 2014. The Ministry
focuses on upgrading AYUSH educational
standards, implementing quality control and
drug standardization, improving the availability
of medicinal plant material, aiding research and
development and generating awareness about
the efficacy of the systems, within the country
and overseas. Its declared objectives are as
follows:
Upgrade the educational standards in the Indian
systems of medicine and in homoeopathy
colleges in the country.
Strengthen existing research institutions and
ensure a time-bound research programme on
identified diseases for which these systems have
an eective treatment.
Draw up schemes for promotion, cultivation
and regeneration of medicinal plants used
in these systems. Evolve pharmacopoeial
standards for Indian systems of medicine and
homoeopathic drugs.

Founded in 2011, the World Ayurveda Foundation

(WAF) is an initiative by Vijnana Bharati aimed at
global propagation of Ayurveda. As part of a larger
intellectual movement under the aegis of the
Swadeshi Science Movement undertaken by Vijnana
Bharati, WAF is a platform that would take Ayurveda
to the world for all the benefits mankind can draw
from traditional health sciences.
The objectives of WAF reect global scope.
Propagation and encouragement of all activities
scientific and Ayurveda-related are the core
principles. Support to research, health-care
programmes through camps, clinics and sanatoriums,
documentation, organization of study groups,
seminars, exhibitions and knowledge initiatives to
popularize Ayurveda in the far corners of the world
are the broad latitudes of focus at WAF. Ayurveda as
a sector requires the kind of stewardship and voice
that genuinely bring out the ethos of Ayurveda in
matters that govern policy and planning with State
and Central government administration in India and
the world over. WAF is positioned to provide this
much-needed leadership with its wide participation
of various stakeholder groups.
The impact of WAF encompasses the areas of policy,
action, public health, trade, practice, science and,
above all, global outreach for the benefit of society
and mankind.

Vijnana Bharati or VIBHA is a national

movement dedicated to the integrated
development of Bharat through the
intervention of science, engineering and
technology. Launched in 1991 by a group of
thinkers and scientists, VIBHA has, today, 29
active units and 6 overseas units.
Eminent scientists, academicians, policy
makers and social workers are the torch
bearers of this movement.
VIBHA takes the spirit of Swadeshi along
with the ethos of our culture. It emphasizes
that science and spirituality should go
hand in hand. VIBHA works towards rural
development, technology transfer, and
social empowerment so as to bring the fruits
of advancement of science and technology
for the benefit of the society. It has received
two national awards for popularizing science
and technology: one in 2006 from Dr
Manmohan Singh, Honble Prime Minister
of India, and the other in 2007 from Mr
Kapil Sibal, Honble Minister for Science and
Technology, Government of India.
VIBHA works towards national self-reliance
and a developed India. Towards this mission,
VIBHA adopts, adapts, and assimilates the
best from everywhere and associates with
the best of universities, R&D organizations
and other movements.
