I am happy to note about the establishment of “Sharad Saraf Ayurved and Indic Studies” in IIT Jammu. This would be a path breaking Research and education Centre introducing Ancient Indian Culture to the young students. IIT Jammu is the first among 23 IITs for establishing such a centre.
I am sure the students will benefit immensely from our heritage and knowledge. I wish the centre a great success and hope it will grow in times to come and become a premier Centre for Ayurved and Indic Studies not only in J&K but also whole India.
