Acknowledgements When Part I of this report was written I had acknowledged the contribution of scores of people who had helped me in big ways and small. What follows are a few repetitions but many more additions. Under the Presidentship of the Honourable Minister for Health and Family Welfare, Shri Ghulam Nabi Azad as the President of CCRUM I continued to receive whole-hearted support from the Department of AYUSH and the Research Councils particularly from Unani Medicine and Ayurvedic Sciences. Headed by the Union Secretary (AYUSH), Shri Anil Kumar the Department’s officers gave me access to data and information without which it would not have been possible to have delved down to the root of so many subjects. The Secretary was always accessible whenever I requested to meet him and shared his thoughts with candour. I am grateful to stalwarts like Prof. Valiathan, Prof. Ranjit Roy Chaudhury, Prof. RH Singh who gave me the benefit of their valuable advice which has been acknowledged in the report. I must also mention the part played by Dr. SP Aggarwal, the former Director General Health Services, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare who grounded his remarks in down-to-earth wisdom on what was possible and practical. Shri Bala Prasad (then the only Joint Secretary in the Department), put me in touch with the right persons which facilitated my work greatly. In particular Dr. DC Katoch was one person who provided information by return e-mail within minutes. Of greatest value were the official letters of introduction sent to the State Governments which enabled me to observe and record the ground realities. The Director-General of CCRUM Professor Shakir Jamil continued to extend the support of the whole institution and enabled me to hold two joint meetings of the two Research Councils for Unani and Ayurvedic medicine where numerous experts, faculty members and practitioners of both systems gave me the benefit of their advice. Dr. KM Siddiqui, Deputy Director in CCRUM did the behind the scenes work for the meetings and also drew up and time-tuned the travel itineraries for my visits to different States. Without this, it would have been difficult to have synchronised meetings with so many people at so many places. He also provided me the services of a statistician Shri Zameer Ahmad who assisted me in assembling the statistical portions of the report. Dr. Ramesh Babu Devalla, the Director General of CCRAS continued to extend invaluable support, chiefly by finding the right person at each juncture who could give the technical support that I needed. Because of this I was able to get useful base papers prepared by Dr. N Srikanth, Dr. Sarada Ota and Dr. Pradeep Dua - all from CCRAS who helped me to assemble the facts for three chapters. The role of several officers from the National Institutes under the Department of AYUSH must also be placed on record. Among these I recall Dr. V V Prasad, Director, Rashtriya Ayurved Vidyapeeth because of his brevity with words but capacity to deliver on promises.

Dr. Ajay Kumar Sharma, the Director of the National Institute of Ayurveda was good enough to assign four faculty members to help me to get a study on selected State pharmacies done, when I was about to abandon the idea. Shri Otem Dai, the Director of the North-Eastern Institute of Folk Medicine went out of his way to help me to prepare the chapter on folk medicine in the North-East with enthusiasm. He assigned a resourceful Senior Research Officer Shri Hemen Hazarika to coordinate the work. The work was organized despite many parts of the North-East being affected by torrential rain and floods and the Internet system remaining out of commission for several weeks at a stretch. Before the work relating to the interface of AYUSH and NRHM was undertaken, I had requested Dr. Ritu Priya, Professor, Center of Social Medicine & Community Health, Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), former Advisor, Public Health Planning (NHSRC) to help unravel her own report on 18 States. Dr. Priya gave me the benefit of briefing me through her experience and introduced me to Dr. Shweta also an Ayurvedic doctor who walked me through the report with enthusiasm. A very special mention needs to be made of the Principal Secretaries in charge of AYUSH Shri K Ratna Kishore in Andhra Pradesh, Shri J P Sharma in U.P., Shri Ashok Shekhar in Rajasthan, Shri Ali Raja Rizvi in Himachal Pradesh, Smt Anu Garg in Odisha and Shri M K Dwivedi in Jammu and Kashmir, all of whom went out of their way to make my visits to their States as meaningful as possible. In Andhra Pradesh Dr. Srivasuki held charge as the Commissioner AYUSH and accompanied me during most of my visits to the facilities in Hyderabad. The State Directors of Ayurveda/Unani/ ISM who gave me immense support in different ways include Dr. KR Kohli from Maharashtra, Dr. Raksha Goswami, Director Ayurveda and Dr. Shoeb Qasmi, Director (Unani)-both from Uttar Pradesh, Dr. PS Draik from Himachal Pradesh and Dr. Kabir Dar from Jammu & Kashmir. All of them wanted to see the project succeed in the interest of the systems and used their personal contacts and initiative to pack in as much as possible, including gracious hospitality . Several other State officials from the departments of Ayurveda and Unani medicine looked after me and their resourcefulness must be acknowledged. Among these I will always remember Dr. Narendra Hota, the State Research Officer for AYUSH in Odisha, Dr. Ramanna, Regional Deputy Director, AYUSH in Andhra Pradesh along with Dr. Satya Prasad, the Principal of BRKR Ayurvedic College, Hyderabad for arranging the visits with enthusiasm and imagination. I also recall with warmth the tremendous support given by Dr. A.A. Hashmi, Deputy Director Unani in Uttar Pradesh. Dr. Nuzhat Manzoor and Dr. Shabeer Ahmed Gaffari from J&K accompanied me to innumerable health facilities with meticulous planning. Although the programme included several scheduled meetings and the distances to be covered to different districts were long, they took care of every detail so that I could spend limited time fruitfully. Likewise, Dr. Om Raj Sharma, Research Officer of CCRAS at Mandi accompanied me during my entire visit to Himachal Pradesh and his personal contacts and friendly approach provided me with rare insights. Thanks must be given to numerous people who helped me at the back end without whose help this report could never have been completed. To start with, I am grateful to Dr. Sathyanarayana Dornala who coordinated the amalgamation of the chapters using his dexterity with computer

applications and knowledge of people, places and happenings to make useful suggestions. That most of the work could be done on e-mail across the country and also across continents and oceans (when I was overseas) reflects his quick understanding. I was assisted throughout by a young BAMS graduate Dr. Anubha Yadav who despite her youth and relative inexperience made up through her quick comprehension, willingness to learn despite being buffeted with constant instructions. That she could measure up to the most exacting standards which I laid down and also maintain enormous documentation systematically, speaks volumes for her potential. She is a gem of a girl. Behind the scenes, Shri Dilawar Singh, Administrative Officer at CCRUM, his assistant Shri Arya, Accountant maintained all my accounts and rid me of so many tedious but essential responsibilities. Shri Humayun, the ever-helpful PA to the DG asssisted me in innumerable ways, always smiling and never putting off anything he could accomplish even to the next minute! A rare virtue. I also acknowledge the support of Shri Ajay Nirwal who looks after the office of the Chairman of the Delhi Public Library - a position I hold in an honorary capacity. In the end, I depended on Shri Mehr-e-Alam Khan, Consultant (Portal) at CCRUM, who enabled me to turn sheaves of unruly paper into an organized report despite his several pressing commitments. If editorial mistakes remain, I am at fault. I hope the report will be found useful and will be disseminated to the State Governments along with copies of Part-I of the Report. The findings and recommendations given in the Report are my own and do not reflect the views of the Department of AYUSH. This has been an exciting learning experience for me and one that I will always treasure. My grateful thanks to all those who made it possible. Shailaja Chandra Principal Investigator and Former Secretary, Government of India & Former Chief Secretary, Delhi

* Explanatory Note on the alternate use of ASU, AU, AYUSH and ISM&H in Parts I and II of the Report. •

In Part I the term ASU was used because that report dealt with specific aspects of the Ayurvedic, Siddha and Unani systems of medicine in relation to research, education, practice and drug manufacture. The acronym ASU referred to the three systems and was also used to distinguish them from Homoeopathy, Naturopathy and Yoga.

In Part II there is practically no mention of the Siddha system. This is because the PI has based most of the findings upon observations and interviews held in States where the Siddha system is not being practised. Hence when referring to the medical systems, the term AU has been used.

The acronym AYUSH has been used mainly in the context of integration of health delivery envisaged by NRHM. The term AYUSH has therefore been used in a generic sense as used in Government parlance and refers to its role in service delivery.

The term ISM has been used occasionally in keeping with this nomenclature which continues to be used in States like Jammu & Kashmir.
