The sad demise of Dr. Radha Padhi, Homeopathic Medical Officer of GHD, Aroda, Dist. Bhadrak causes the uncoverable loss of the Directorate of AYUSH. We all pray her noble soul may Rest in Eternal Peace. She is always remembered for donating her body organs to medical science.
I express my disappointment on the #Budget2026 presented today by the Union Government. The budget has offered no noteworthy benefits to #Odisha and its people.
The anticipation from the people of Odisha was that the double engine government would offer a growth momentum with focus on infrastructure, job creation and additional allocation which is due to the state. The state has received very little.
I welcome the proposal to establish the Rare Earth Corridor in Odisha. Odisha is the leading producer of several key minerals and will always contribute to nation building through its rich resources.
It has again been announced to have National Waterways to connect mineral rich areas and industrial centres to the Ports. But this is a decade old proposal without any progress on the ground.
It is a huge disappointment for the people of Odisha that the announcement to develop seven High-Speed Rail corridors between cities as ‘growth connectors’ does not feature Odisha. Odisha BJP nipped the #BhubaneswarMetro project earlier and the neglect of people’s needs continues as usual.
And it’s quite baffling that the Tourism centric Scheme for Development of Buddhist Circuits has completely skipped Odisha despite having several very important Buddhist sites including our Diamond Triangle.
As seen from the entirety of the Union Budget, Odisha is getting allocations only for taking its natural resources away and completely ignored when it comes to resource allocation for benefit of people of the State.
It’s time the State BJP Govt takes responsibility for people of Odisha and ensure they get their rightful dues from centre. Odisha and its people deserve more and better from the Union Budget.
#Ayush students, driven by their dedication to their field, have rallied together in protest, seeking the attention of the Government of Odisha. Their aim is to initiate a constructive dialogue, urging the authorities to take heed of their concerns and considerations. @HFWOdisha
Let's talk about Ayurveda and its use of injections. You see, sometimes it's tricky to take medicine orally, so injecting it directly can be really important. At first, they started making Ayurvedic injections to help with this, but then the government stepped in and said 'no more,' by changing the rules in the drug & cosmetic act.
Now, why did they do this? Well, it seems like big pharmaceutical companies in the allopathic field might have had a hand in it, and maybe there wasn't enough appreciation for Ayurveda. But here's the thing - just because ancient Ayurvedic texts don't spell out the process of giving injections, that doesn't mean it's a no-go. There are references to using needles for stitching up wounds by Sushruta and medicines like SUCHIKABHARAN RASA.
So, it's only fair to ask, doesn't Ayurveda have the right to adapt and grow?
Ayurveda's getting recognized globally for its holistic approach to health, both on a personal and societal level. It's a bit sad though, that our own knowledge and traditions aren't acknowledged by our own name. Allopathic doctors even use Ayurvedic remedies and call them 'herbal medicine.'
Understanding the Drug & Cosmetic Act of 1940 and its changes is key here. Many legal experts say it doesn't actually ban the use of Ayurvedic injections in research. And even the wise Supreme Court has stated that Ayurveda has the right to make use of modern resources.
