Gorakhpur: The integrated regulation of Ayurveda, Unani, and homeopathy colleges in Uttar Pradesh will become a reality with the Mahayogi Guru Gorakhnath AYUSH University which will be formally inaugurated by President Droupadi Murmu on July 1.
The foundation of the state's first AYUSH University was laid four years ago. Before its inception, ayurveda, unani, and homeopathy institutions were governed separately by discipline-specific bodies.
"Following the central govt's initiative to unify traditional medical systems, such as Ayurveda, Unani, Siddha, Homoeopathy, Yoga, and Naturopathy, under the AYUSH umbrella, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath envisioned a single platform for integrated medical education and regulation in the state," a govt spokesperson said.
"This vision took shape in the form of the Mahayogi Guru Gorakhnath AYUSH University, which has been developed over 52 acres in Pipri, Bhathat, approximately 25 kilometers from the Gorakhpur district headquarters.
The foundation stone was laid by then President Ram Nath Kovind on Aug 28, 2021, at the invitation of the Chief Minister," he said.
The university currently oversees education and treatment in the disciplines of Ayurveda, Unani, and Homoeopathy.
Plans are underway to include Yoga, Naturopathy, Siddha, and Sowa-Rigpa in the curriculum.
Currently, 98 AYUSH colleges across the state, including 76 Ayurveda, 10 Unani, and 12 Homoeopathy colleges, are affiliated to the university. Since the 2021-22 academic session, the university has been conducting studies and examinations for courses such as BAMS, MD, MS (Ayurveda); BUMS, MD, MS (Unani); and BHMS, MD (Homeopathy).

Ayurveda gets the spotlight in new documentary, The Double Helix of Life
A powerful new documentary on Ayurveda—Ayurveda: The Double Helix of Life—just had its grand premiere in New Delhi. Clocking in at 90 minutes and shot in English, the film dives deep into how this ancient Indian system of medicine might just be the answer to some of modern healthcare's biggest challenges. The premiere took place at the Film Division Theatre. Union Minister of State for AYUSH and Health & Family Welfare, Prataprao Jadhav, and AYUSH Secretary Rajesh Kotecha were there to do the honors, alongside a lineup of dignitaries from the health and wellness space. The film, produced by Dr. A.V. Anoop under AVA Productions in collaboration with the Ayurvedic Medicine Manufacturers Organisation of India (AMMOI), is directed by Vinod Mankara. Attendees included major voices in the Ayurvedic and medical world—Dr. P Ramkumar (AMMOI President), E.T. Neelakandan Moos (AMMOI Treasurer), Prof. Rabinarayan Acharya (Director General of CCRAS), Padma Shri Vaidya Balendu Prakash, Sanjay Shrivastava of Maharishi Ayurveda , and Promod Sharma from Baidyanath. So, what's the big message? That Ayurveda isn't just about herbal powders and yoga poses—it's a holistic, preventive approach backed by actual research. The film busts common myths that Ayurveda is all belief and no science, and instead shows how it's supported by over a thousand peer-reviewed studies, modern lab testing, and real-world case stories. With chronic illnesses like diabetes, arthritis, and autoimmune diseases draining healthcare systems across the U.S., Germany, and Switzerland, The Double Helix of Life argues that Ayurveda offers something mainstream medicine often lacks—prevention. And when it's supported by evidence, it's not just effective—it's cost-efficient and low on side effects too. 'Ayurveda gives us tools to not just treat, but prevent disease,' says Dr. A.V. Anoop. 'It's time to shift from managing symptoms to addressing root causes.' Director Vinod Mankara adds, 'This film isn't just about looking back at tradition—it's about looking ahead. Ayurveda is already included in wellness insurance in countries like Germany and Switzerland. In India, it's part of the Ayushman Bharat mission. It can really ease the pressure on our public health system.'
