NONGSTOIN: The Society for Promotion of Indigenous Knowledge and Practice (SPIKAP) convened an awareness programme at Rambrai on Wednesday. The programme was aimed at making the traditional healers and practioners aware of the benefits of getting registered in the society.
Shri John F Kharshiing Chairman SPIKAP, at the programme said most of the villages nearby have been practicing traditional health-care. Owing to its successes, most of these villagers do not feel the need to visit hospitals and rely on the next best option. Kharshiing educated the gathering that through this venture, all those people who practiced these age old health-care traditions would benefit enormously as their practice would be recognized by the govt. Also, these traditions through this registration would ensure its preservation and promotion. Kharshiing added that the project required 100 species of the most widely used medicinal plants in the state for documentation and promotion at the national level.
