On October 23, the Regional Ayurveda Research Centre (RARC) Dimapur celebrated Ayurveda Day by holding a prakriti assessment camp and plantation drive at Government College, Dimapur. This year’s theme of encouraging environmental sustainability and holistic wellness was in line with the effort. According to a news release from RARC’s research officer in charge, the event began with a Prakriti evaluation camp where staff and students could get health checks.
