Abstract
The Central Council for Research in Ayurvedic Sciences (CCRAS) under the Ministry of Ayush is the apex body in India for formulating, coordinating, developing, and promoting research on scientific lines in Ayurveda. Since its foundation in 1969, it has been engaged in the areas of Clinical Research, Medicinal Plant Research (Medico-Ethno Botanical survey, Pharmacognosy, and Cultivation), Drug Standardization, Pharmacological Research, Literary Research and Documentation, and various outreach activities through its 30 peripheral institutes/centers/units across the country and also through collaborative studies with various academic and research institutes in India and abroad. The present paper aims to highlight the contributions of CCRAS in the field of research and development in Ayurveda since its inception. Data related to research and development in different domain areas were compiled from the respective sections. This paper provides information on the significant achievements of the Council in the various areas of research and development along with public health care services for Ayurveda scholars, researchers, academicians, and other stakeholders in the field of research and development in Ayurveda.
