Institute of Teaching and Research in Ayurveda Jamnagar (ITRA) is the first AYUSH ‘Institute of National Importance’ (Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homoeopathy). The Indian parliament passed the ‘Institute of Teaching and Research in Ayurveda Act, 2020,’ and its provisions went into effect on October 15, 2020.
The Institute of Teaching and Research in Ayurveda (ITRA), Jamnagar, was established in October 2020 under the ITRA Act 2020 by combining three separate institutes, namely the Institute of Post Graduate Teaching and Research in Ayurveda, Jamnagar, Shree Gulabkunverba Ayurved Mahavidyalaya, Jamnagar, and Indian Institute of Ayurvedic Pharmaceutical Sciences, Jamnagar.
Furthermore, the Maharshi Patanjali Institute for Yoga Naturopathy Education and Research (MPIYNER), a constituent SFI college of the Gujarat Ayurved University, Jamnagar, is integrated with the ITRA under the Swasthavritta department.
Shri Gulabkunverba Ayurvedic Society established the Shree Gulabkunverba Ayurved Mahavidyalaya for Ayurvedic Studies on July 1, 1946. As Jamnagar grew in prominence as a centre of Ayurvedic learning, the “Central Institute for Research in Indigenous System of Medicine (CIRISM)” was established in 1952 at Dhanvantari Mandir in Jamnagar. On July 20, 1956, the ‘Centre for PG Studies and Research in Ayurveda’ was established as a Central Post Graduate Centre.
