This year, it has come up with a comprehensive text book under its ‘Ayurved Prabodhini Granthamala series’ on Research methodology especially in line with Outcome-based dynamic curriculum for the postgraduate scholars pursuing MD/ MS Ayurveda implemented by the National Commission For Indian System of Medicine (NCISM).

The syllabus for Research methodology has been designed keeping in view the utmost need to inculcate deep understanding and application of Ayurvedic fundamentals among the postgraduate students. The syllabus has been meticulously planned to offer students with a comprehensive insight into literature search, framing research questions, stating hypotheses, research design, data analysis, ethical considerations, and scientific writing.

There are twenty-one chapters in this book, designed to address the requirements as per different units of the respective six modules. This book is the outcome of joint effort of 34 scientists and 16 faculty comprising senior professors, domain experts and Research professionals from both Ayush and modern scientific streams. Each chapter has undergone through three stages i.e. structured drafting, peer review and phased editorial refinement.

This is the first of its kind effort of CCRAS to have a publication in this subject so as to ignite the postgraduate minds and make them competent with the research knowhow and associated skills for building a better career in Research in future.
