Kerala Ayurvedic medicine for city soon

By Our Staff Reporter

HYDERABAD, SEPT. 4. The blueprint for bringing the famous Kerala Ayurvedic medicine system to the people of Andhra Pradesh has been set into motion by the Tourism and Culture Department in collaboration with the Santhigiri Ayurveda and Siddha Vaidyasala, Thiruvananthapuram, with the setting up of a health village in a private resort on the city outskirts.

An MoU on the project coming up at Pragathi Resorts in the neighbouring Rangareddy district would be signed here on Thursday in the presence of the Tourism Minister, Mr. E. Peddi Reddy.

``We wanted to bring the famous medicine system of the Santhigiri Ashram closer home, and that too at an affordable price. As land acquisition was a time consuming process, we wanted to initiate the project immediately by roping in a private resort,'' the Director, Culture, Mrs. G. Rekha Rani, explained. Plans were afoot to set up a second unit of the health village in the city itself on September 20, she said.
