  • 04 Dec 2020

  • The Ministry of AYUSH is setting up a new campus of National Institute of Naturopathy (NIN), Pune called “Nisarg Gram”.
  • This decision has been taken to invoke recollections of Mahatma Gandhi's famous nature cure campaign of 1946 at the 'NisargUpchar' Ashram in UruliKanchan village near Pune.
  • The new institute’s curricula will be prepared in the light of National Education Policy, 2020. The curricula will be rationalised to bring about qualitative, pedagogical understanding of Naturopathy and allied disciplines at the UG and PG level.
  • Bachelors and Masters courses in Naturopathy and allied disciplines will be the focal programmes at Nisarg Gram.
  • The proposed Doctoral programs in Naturopathy at Nisarg Gram will be the first of its kind and will further strengthen the Naturopathy and Yoga education in the country.
  • The institution will place emphasis on the symbiotic relationship between research and teaching and the need to foster this relationship with respect to Naturopathy. The research activities at Nisarg Gram will provide scope for clinical, basic and literary researches.
