Between 2002 & 2010, three Ministries of Govt. of India viz., Environment and Forest, Department of Science and Technology (DST) and Ministry of AYUSH, recognized FRLHT-TDU as a National Central of Excellence.
In November 2003, the
Medical School in Columbia University, New York, awarded FRLHT with its first International award for cultural Leadership in Traditional Medicine.
In 2011, the Govt. of India conferred Padma Shri to the Founder Director of FRLHT
15.4 Any other information (including special achievements by the University which may be relevant for the University): The University for Trans-Disciplinary Health Sciences & Technology was established as an innovation centered University focused on designing and delivering research, outreach and education focused on social transformation aligned to emerging and futuristic needs. A first of its kind in India, University’s uniqueness stems from the fact that while the University itself has core strength in Ayurveda-Biology, Clinical medicine, Medicinal plants systematics, Plant Genomics, Data Sciences, Local Health Traditions, Theoretical Foundations of Ayurveda, Traditional Knowledge informatics and Manuscriptology, it has institutional academic relationships with outstanding knowledge partners in fields like Design (Srishti), Ecology and Environment (ATREE), Bioinformatics (IBAB), Conservation of Coastal, Marine and Mountain Ecosystems (Dakshin Foundation), Biological Sciences (NCBS-TIFR), Stem Cell Biology (InStem), Inter-disciplinary Studies (NIAS), Cinema (Suchitra), Public health (IPH), Education and Pedagogy (Poorna), Medical Research (SJRI), Policy Studies (Takshashila), industry research (Bugworks & PCI). Thus, the University’s ecosystem has the capacity to offer programmes that combine subjects related to natural and social sciences, design, cinema, education, health sciences, conservation and fine arts. Research at the University University provides uncommon opportunity to students and researchers to
30
learn and undertake research in areas that correspond to its core strengths and that of its knowledge partners in fields such as conservation, life sciences, integrative health sciences, policy, education, bioinformatics, cinema, public health, ethno-veterinary science, information technology, art and design. One of the unique features of research at University is that all of its focus is on combining improving knowledge and practice that is socially relevant and that provides the basis for national and international policy-making. The University aims to capitalize its unique methodology of co-constructing and co-creating new knowledge, and contribute to the education of a new generation of researchers and change agents in their own communities and on the world stage, through a focused and a large PhD program. The University have established centers. The main focal area of the important centers is given below: Centre for Ayurveda Biology: The Centre for Ayurveda Biology works with an aim of understanding concept and practices of Traditional Medicine (TM) through modern scientific tools and techniques. Thus, in real sense, it works for bridging the gap between SHASTRA and SCIENCE. Centre for Ayurveda Biology has two main focus areas,
Developing modern scientific evidence for Ayurvedic concepts and practices
Augmenting conservation of resources used in traditional medicine Centre for Conservation of Medicinal Resources: Botanical database - We have an electronic database on the medicinal botanicals used in the Indian health traditions, which is perhaps the most comprehensive database on the medicinal plants of India. It links the botanical names of more than 6,500 medicinal plant species with over 2,00,000 vernacular names in 30 different Indian languages along with tags of different Indian medical systems like Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani and Folk linked to each botanical entity. The entire data incorporated in this database has detailed published references. Ayurveda database - The Ayurveda database captures the Ayurvedic pharmacology of around 2000 medicinal plant species and incorporates interpreted “Shlokas” from the classical literature of Ayurveda spanning a period extending over 1500 BC to 1900 AD. Establishment of a network of Medicinal Plants Conservation Areas (MPCAs) - We have pioneered the innovative idea of establishing a network of Medicinal Plants Conservation Areas (MPCAs) across different states of the country to promote insitu conservation of wild medicinal plant resources, 108 insitu conservation sites are established across 12 states of the country so far. Establishment of a National herbarium of Indian medicinal plants -
31
Establishment of a National repository of Indian medicinal plants has been another unique and innovative initiative. It is the only medicinal plants herbarium in the country engaged in field collection, identification and systematic curation of dried plant specimens with more than 40,000 such specimens, representing, more than 3000 species, available for studies and reference. Centre for Functional Genomics & Bio-informatics: Recent advances in DNA sequencing, molecular cloning, and gene editing helped remarkably in understanding the biology of life forms in our nature. Reduced cost and increased speed of DNA sequencing have led to rapid growth of genomics. Functional significance of genomic elements (genes, RNA, proteins, small molecules and phenotype) are still being unravelled in many organisms. The data coming out from large-scale functional genomics studies need to be stored, analyzed and interpreted. This requires a high-end computing facility and data center to cater towards the scientific community. India being a country having the richest biodiversity hotspots in the world, there is huge scope to decode genomes, understand and harness functionality of biodiversity through functional genomics and bio-informatics approaches. The center aim to carryout large-scale studies in relation to conservation and traditional medicine. Centre for Traditional Knowledge & Informatics: To understand, conserve and propagate Traditional Knowledge on Indian Systems of Medicine, especially Ayurveda and its contemporary relevance in education, research and application.
To encourage collaborative programs/research projects to share Medicinal Plants related data with local, regional, national and international organizations.
To support medicinal plants research that will strengthen PhD studies. To develop well researched innovative educational tools (Web Portals,
Apps, CDs, Books) in the field of preventive, promotive and curative aspects of health.
To develop bioinformatics / predictive modeling tools for using various databases and network pharmacology.
To develop well researched databases in the field of medicinal plants, metals & minerals and medicinal fauna.
To digitize medical manuscripts and publish rare books, Dictionaries in Sanskrit, English And Regional Languages.
Centre for Holistic Nutrition: The Center for Holistic Nutrition engages in translation research to bring together molecular understanding of nutrition with Ayurvedic principles, systemic understanding of food and its customization based population traits or ‘prakritis’. The trans-disciplinary knowledge generated through this holistic approach is aimed at creating the next wave of nutritious, low cost foods that can impact health of millions.
32
Centre for Ethno-Veterinary Science and Practice: The excessive and indiscriminate use of antimicrobials and other veterinary drugs in dairy animals cause residues in animal products and a rising number of antimicrobial resistances. In addition to increasing drug resistance, these methods have led to avoidable side effects and allergic reactions on consumers who consume animal products such as milk and meat. In India in the past 5 years the annual rate of use of antibiotics is rising by 6-7 %. About 90% of the antibiotics given to humans, crops and the livestock end up in the environment. It is estimated that by 2050 the antimicrobial resistance (AMR) will cause 10 million deaths per year. Center for Clinical Research & Education:
Evolve inter-institutional networks and consortium projects in National and International space utilizing multi-disciplinary/trans-disciplinary approaches.
Apply integrative omics technologies to unravel the mechanism(s) of action of Ayurvedic formulations used for disease treatment at IAIM Healthcare Center.
Promote utilization of non-invasive methods in clinical research & education.
Complete the Clinic-Research-Community Axis to develop learning curves
Impart training and education: Adapt the novel learning curves developed from the above, to:
o Determine biomarkers that are o Enable precision delivery of preventive/predictive healthcare
Centre for Data Science and Education Innovation:
The focus of this centre is two fold: to look at the relevance of Data Science in modern day world and prepare students for a career in Data Science. Data Science spans across all domains and impacts every aspect of life - be it Natural Sciences, Medicine or Life Sciences or any aspect of technology today, Data Science plays a crucial role. This centre provides research support to other Centres in application of Data Science. The other focus of this centre is on Education Innovation. The centre is designing an innovative Course in Liberal Arts for post High School (10+2) students. This program will focus on education of students in all aspects of Human Development, through experiential learning. The students are expected to discover their interests through mentorship and shape their futures themselves. At the end of the program students are expected to become lifelong learners and contribute fresh thinking to the society. Centre for Public Health:

Traditional Medicine (TM) and community-based Traditional Knowledge (TK) have a significant scope in delivering the Public Health objectives as envisaged by the Health Systems and Policy framework in India. However this potential remains largely unexplored for want of insightful and robust implementation frameworks. The Centre for Public Health engages in academic, scientific, community and policy interventions that would strengthen efforts towards meaningful mainstreaming of TM and Local Health Traditions (LHT) in the policy and health service delivery landscape of our nation.
16. Strength and Weaknesses of the University
16.1 Strengths of the University The University for Trans-Disciplinary Health Sciences
& Technology is one of its kind in India. Its uniqueness
stems from the following factors:
The programmes and courses it offers have been
selected because they fulfill a societal need. Thus
students can expect to find placements, engage in
research or carve their own enterprises.
The content of every programme offers the learner
inter, multi and cross cultural perspectives with an
aim to make learning more holistic and enjoyable.
The form of programme/course delivery emphasizes
experiential learning, learning through project work
and interaction with mentors who are active
researchers and achievers.
University aims to provide an atmosphere of free and
fair learning opportunities – not based on one’s
economic background but intellectual inquisitiveness.
The University offers opportunities to students with
an interest and passion for learning, rather than just
examination based ranking systems. TDU offers its
programmes using advanced, responsive and
contemporary curriculum designed by national and
international experts and imparted through student-
centric learning tools.
16.2 Weaknesses of the University The current corpus of around Rs 49.67 cr needs to
34
be increased several fold to provide internal
financial resources for initial support to new staff,
greater flexibility during dry run periods and seed
support for new research ideas.
The University needs to enlarge enrollment in
PhD, Masters by Research and given its multi-
disciplinary research ecosystem, and it needs to
introduce liberal arts UG & PG programs
There is need to adopt new marketing strategies
to popularize the University programs, as the
courses offered by the University are unique in
nature.
University is situated 25 kms from the city limits
with limited access.
Certificate This is to certify that all the information provided above is true to the best of my knowledge and belief. The University will adhere to the rules, regulations and guidelines of the UGC, Central Government and relevant Statutory Council(s) and abide by all the provisions under the UGC Regulation.
