BIS Pushes Quality Standardisation Across Ayurveda, Yoga And Sowa-Rigpa
BIS held national discussions to advance quality standards across Ayurveda, yoga and Sowa-Rigpa traditional medicine systems.
What happened
The Bureau of Indian Standards organised two national programmes in Belagavi and Leh, drawing more than 600 researchers, industry leaders, academics and practitioners. Discussions focused on Indian standards for Ayurveda, yoga and Sowa-Rigpa, alongside India’s role in global standardisation through ISO. BIS also offered online portals for new standardisation proposals.
Why it matters
Clear standards are intended to improve patient safety, consumer confidence, research reliability and regulation, while helping India’s traditional medicine systems gain international recognition.
