Abstract

In Ayurveda, involvement of pharmaceuticals science is not new but the concern is to whom we are assigning the
responsibility of Ayurvedic drug manufacturing and research. In current scenario, this responsibility was carried by
BAMS professional (unaware about pharmaceutical science) and graduates from modern science (do not know
Ayurveda). Author want to draw attention toward registration, recognition and monitoring of Ayurvedic Pharmaceutical
science [B. Pharm (Ayurveda) & M. Pharm (Ayurveda)] by either existing Regulatory bodies/council or establishment of
new council.This courses are running since starting of 21st century by reputed University and produce skilled Ayurvedic
pharmacy professionals but still there is no council for its regulation and monitoring. Students are regularly coming out
having degrees (Graduates, Post graduates and Doctorates) but still they are searching of respect, recognition and
opportunity to work in government organizations.In 2016, Indian Medicine and Homoeopathy Pharmacy Central Council
Bill, 2016(IMHPCC Bill, 2016) is in public domain and invite comments but it lightens a hope among Ayurvedic
pharmaceutical graduates. Author thought it is best time to discuss how to nourish Ayurvedic pharmaceutical sciences so
that it can strengthen the backbone of Ayurveda (Ayurvedic pharmaceutics and related research) and how this IMHPCC
Bill will act as water for newly grown plant in draught.
