The three-day ‘Ayur Expo 2007′, organised by Nepal Ayurveda Medical Students Council (NAMSS), started Friday at Tribhuwan University (TU).
Minister for Education and Sports Pradip Nepal inaugurated the exhibition and he said that the teachers and students of Ayurvedic science students should popularise the subject abroad. He said the Ayurvedic science has been ignored.
“In the Kathmandu area alone, there are 216 types of medicinal herbs and they are often overlooked,” he added.
Prof. Ramesh Kanta Adhikari, dean of the Institute of Medicine (IOM), said that the Bachelors in Ayurveda Medical Science (BAMS) had not yet given recognition by the Medical Council, so the students who have graduated after five-and-a-half year course are now facing problems in their career.
