Baba Ramdev's Patanjali Research Institute has moved to the Delhi High Court seeking integration of Allopathy, Ayurveda, Yoga, Naturopathy, Unani and other forms of medicine systems along with a common syllabus for all medical colleges. Patanjali Research Institute on Thursday filed an intervention petition in the Delhi High Court, backing a PIL filed by advocate Ashwini Upadhyay for integration of Allopathy, Ayurveda, Yoga, Naturopathy, Unani and other forms of medicine systems and a common syllabus for all medical colleges. Senior Advocate Inderbir Singh Alag told the bench of Chief Justice Satish Chandra that they have filed an intervention application in support of the prayers in the main PIL. He cited the Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during his address on August 15, 2022, had spoken about the adoption of a holistic approach in medicine. Agreeing to the submissions, the bench asked the parties whether they have filed their responses. The counsel then replied, "We have filed a reply already." The bench took note of the fact that the impleadment application was not on record and asked the Counsels representing Patanjali to place the same within one week and slated the hearing for November 11. Upadhyay in his plea has sought adoption of an Indian holistic integrated medicinal approach, rather than the colonial segregated one, by way of his petition and stressed that this would help in securing the right to health guaranteed under the Constitution.  As per Upadhyay, around 70 percent of India’s population was living in rural areas, but 52 percent of allopathic doctors were practicing in just five states. The plea further said that deaths due to prescription drug overdose between 2006 and 2014 rose by 123 percent globally, while serious but non-fatal prescription drug overdose outcomes also increased during the period.
