The North Eastern Institute of Ayurveda & Homeopathy was inaugurated here today to produce quality medical graduates, provide healthcare to the people of the region and promote research in traditional medicine.
The institute, an autonomous body under the Union ministry of Ayush, was inaugurated by Union minister for ayurveda, yoga & naturopathy, unani, siddha and homoeopathy (Ayush), Shripad Yesso Naik, at Mawdiangdiang on the outskirts of this city. […]
He hoped it would also provide quality and inter-disciplinary researches in plant-based medical sciences such as ayurveda and homeopathy.

Currently there are 31 research centres across the country dealing with ayurveda and homeopathy.
