The All India Institute of Ayurveda, Delhi (abbreviated AIIA Delhi or AIIA) is a public Ayurveda medicine and research institution located in New Delhi, India.[1][2]
The proposal for the establishment of AIIA at New Delhi originated from then-Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee's declaration to establish a state-of-the-art National Ayurveda Hospital at the ceremony of Vaidya Ram Narayan Sharma Memorial Award Distribution on 5 May 2000, under the aegis of All India Ayurveda Congress.[citation needed]
The cornerstone of the institute was laid in 2007 upon approval of the Finance Ministry in 2003. The Government of India recommended the proposal to develop the institute focused on R&D, safety evaluation, and quality standards of Ayurveda medicines. The institute has been providing out-patient services since 2009.[3] In 2014, the Government of India established the Ministry of Ayush and AIIA Delhi, an autonomous institute under the Ministry of AYUSH.[4][3] AIIA was first inaugurated in October 2010.[5] Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, inaugurated the Institute for a second time in 2017.[5]
AIIA is the publisher of the Journal of Ayurveda Case Reports (AyuCaRe), a quarterly peer-reviewed journal.[6][7]
