India to introduce Ayurveda education in schools and colleges nationwide.   NCERT and UGC are collaborating to design new modules that weave Ayurvedic principles into health education curricula.    Several states- Goa, Madhya Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, have already begun integrating elements of India’s traditional knowledge system into their school syllabi.    To build credibility, the government is pushing for evidence-based research, with clinical trials led by CCRAS and efforts to align Ayurvedic methods with global standards in partnership with WHO.    The goal, as stated by the Ayush Ministry, is not to pit allopathy and Ayurveda against each other, but to let them complement one another in a more holistic healthcare framework.    If executed well, this could transform how young people understand wellness, prevention, and shifting part of the conversation from “treatment when sick” toward “living in balance.”   I find this move deeply hopeful. It’s a signal that when tradition and science choose to converse rather than compete, education gains depth and we might better equip the next generation with a fuller sense of health.

From pulse to possibilities ... ** Day 3 of Nadi Pariksha for Common People ** We met a wide spectrum of people in last 2 days — Ayurveda enthusiasts, skeptics, critics, doctors, and even data scientists. Each interaction taught us something valuable, and we are noting down some key learnings here: 👉 One lady mentioned that she had done her nadi pariksha with a well-known Ayurvedic doctor just last week. She was slightly disappointed that our device did not give her something “extra.” But for us, this was a win, because our AI-powered report matched her doctor’s findings perfectly. 👉 A curious couple wanted to test their pulses again: This time on the other hand (we usually test right hand for male, left for female). They wanted to see how results differ. This was a wonderful suggestion and yes, our AI should eventually be able to combine pulse data from both hands for richer insights. 👉 Failure stories are also learnings: – Some people wanted the device to confirm specific diseases or conditions they believed they had. When those didn’t appear in the report, they were disappointed. Managing such preconceived expectations is a challenge. – In one case, a wife decided not to go ahead with her test after seeing her husband’s report. Whether it was the details, the time taken, or fear of the findings, we may never know. But these are gaps we must bridge. 👉 The most heartwarming part? Friends encouraging friends, young bringing in elders, women bringing their groups, everyone wanted to be a part of this journey. 👉 A young Ayurvedic doctor visited along with his parents, keen to test the accuracy. Impressed, he ended up buying the device on the spot. 👉 Data science professionals were fascinated with our AI/ML approach. While they were disappointed to know the device is currently B2B for Vaidyas, they were quick to say they’d love to do quarterly or half-yearly checkups at nearby Nadi Tarangini clinics — just like preventive health checkups today. 👉 Many users requested a downloadable PDF report to share with their doctors or vaidyas — just like they do with lab tests. We’re excited by this — people see our reports as credible enough to be part of a medical discussion. 👉 The most satisfying feedback? People requested that we come to their societies and homes to test their parents, families, and communities. They were even ready to pay, just as they do for home blood tests. This shows a clear demand for preventive health at the doorstep. Every interaction reinforced one truth: fast, non-invasive, AI-powered pulse analysis is not just being accepted — it’s being welcomed. This is not just about building a product. This is about sparking a health awareness movement. #ayurveda #DigitalHealth #healthtech #PreventiveCare #NadiPariksha #naditarangini #WellnessInnovation #AIinHealthcare #AyurvedicScience
