WORLD AYURVEDA CONGRESS AT KOCHI, KERALA ,INDIA FROM NOVEMBER1-4 2002

 

 

 

FOCAL THEME: AYURVEDA AND WORLD HEALTH.

 

 

 

WELCOME TO THE LARGEST INTERNATIONAL GATHERING OF PEOPLE HAVING A PASSION

FOR AYURVEDA

 

a..

WHY THIS CONGRESS?

 

Every nation has its own traditional wisdom, especially in health

care; but in many cases much of this has submerged in the overriding power

of modern system. Bharat is endowed with a spiritual power to have

developed the world's oldest system of health care popularly known as

Ayurveda - the science of life.

 

It has strong philosophical foundations, unquestionable scientific

veracity, everlasting practical methodology and eternally vibrant

innovativeness for modifications into allied systems such as Siddha and

Unani. In fact, its contributions to the growth and development of the

modern medical and surgical practices are equally commendable.

 

 

There is now renewed interest all over the world in the uniqueness

and the universality of Ayurveda. Hence this World Ayurveda Congress with

focal theme : Ayurveda and world health.

 

Ayurveda is the first medical system in the world to define the word

HEALTH as a balanced and coordinated functioning of the physical, mental

and spiritual faculties of any life form - microbes, plants, animals and

humans. As a universal science of health, Ayurveda emphasizes a holistic

way of life that considers the environmental factors of each region. A

dynamic and interactive bio-diversity is the basic approach of Ayurveda

towards sustainable world health. People of all races and continents are

now accepting the holistic approach. There is therefore a need to

strengthen the interface between Ayurveda and other systems of medicine.

It is imperative to evolve new methods and techniques, and to develop new

drugs and herbal formulations based on Ayurvedic principles and

nutraceutical concepts. We have to develop Ayurvedic criteria to meet the

special features of each region and each continent. A special session is

planned for this subject of adapting Ayurveda to the requirements of each

continent. Integration of Indian systems and globalization of Ayurveda as

a full fledged health care system, with a strong interface with modern

systems, would form a part and parcel of this attempt.

 

Our Mission

It is our endeavour to bring together as many delegates as possible

from different scientific discipline who work on the various aspects of

Ayurveda at the global level. The key themes are selected with a view to

stimulate deliberations and lively discussions among the participating

scholars, experts, scientists, Ayurvedic physicians, traditional healers,

manufacturers and dealers of Ayurvedic drugs.

INVITATION FOR SPONSORS The congress is expected to host around 2500

delegates from around 50 countries. Apart from Ayurvedic professionals,

experts from Siddha, Unani, Acupuncture, African and Japanese systems of

medicine will be participating in the event. The dignitaries will consist

of national advisors, senior policy makers, heads of manufacturing

companies and other well-known personalities. Don't be surprised to find

heads of major countries participating in inaugural & valedictory

functions of the congress because negotiations are on with the concerned

governments and as of now talks have been very positive. Renowned

spiritual leaders will be blessing the Dhawantari day celebrations on 2nd

November 2002.

 

EXHIBITION

 

There will be a mega exhibition along with the main events, giving all the

sponsors ample opportunity to exhibit their products. The exhibition will

4. Ayurvedic products.

 

5. Books and publications

ROLE OF SPONSORS

 

Although the primary source of financial support would be Central and

State Government agencies, considering the fact that this mega-venture is

budgeted around Rs. 11.5 million, private funding in the form of

sponsorships is inevitable. The active participation of private agencies

is crucial in deciding the success of this event. We are thus eagerly

looking forward to the business community to come forward in a big way to

make this huge event financially viable.

 

MILAGE FOR SPONSORS

 

This is a Golden opportunity for the entire Ayurvedic and allied business

community to address the big International market that has been left

waiting for quite some time now. And also, a huge opportunity to

consolidate the national market as the congress would be heavily attended

by the practitioners from all over the country. Every penny spend on

sponsorship is bound to yield the maximum returns and no sponsor will be

disappointed in terms of product mileage taking into consideration the

magnanimity of the event.
