Highlighting the contemporary relevance of
Nadi Pareeksha as a classical diagnostic tool, All India Institute of Ayurveda
(AIIA), New Delhi, Director Prof (Vd) P K Prajapati, emphasised the importance
of its academic reinforcement and clinical validation besides strengthening Ayurvedic
diagnostic skills through practical, systematic, and evidence-based approaches.
He was speaking after inaugurating a one-day national workshop on Nadi
Pareeksha organised by the Department of Roga Nidan Evam Vikriti Vigyan (RNVV)
on February 6 on the campus.
He underscored the need for validation
through the incorporation of new technologies, such as the Nadi Tarangini app
and other emerging diagnostic tools.
Dr. R. K. Yadav, Dean (PG); Dr. Raja Ram Mahato,
Medical Superintendent (AMS); and Dr. Vivek Aggarwal, Head, Department of RNVV
were present.
Faculty members and scholars of 19 Ayurvedic colleges across Delhi-NCR and
neighbouring states, including Haryana and Uttar Pradesh were attended.
The workshop aimed to disseminate practical and clinical aspects of Nadi
Pareeksha at both scholar and faculty levels, ensuring its effective
integration into core clinical practice. Interactive sessions, live
demonstrations, and case-based discussions provided participants with rich
experiential learning.
Vaidyas who made remarkable contributions to the field of Nadi Pareeksha,
including Vaidya Basant Lad, Prof. R. K. Singh, and Prof. M. S. Baghel were
remembered.
Guest speakers Nadi Vaidya Dr Sudha Sharma and Dr Rajiv Sharma shared their
extensive clinical experience through practical demonstrations, hands-on
training, and in-depth discussions, offering valuable insights into the art and
science of Nadi Pareeksha. The sessions focused on interpretative techniques
and the integration of traditional Ayurvedic wisdom with modern diagnostic
understanding.
