New Delhi: The Ayurveda Training Accreditation Board (ATAB) has accredited 113 Ayurveda training courses in three countries, including India, since its establishment six years ago, according to an official statement.

As many as 99 courses from 24 Indian institutions and 14 international courses in two foreign countries were accredited by ATAB, significantly contributing to the standardisation and credibility of Ayurveda education on a global scale, the Ministry of Ayush said on Friday.

In addition, ATAB has implemented a structured endorsement scheme to formally recognise qualified Ayurveda professionals practising abroad. This ensures that practitioners meet rigorous benchmarks in skills, knowledge, and ethical standards. A total of 41 Ayurveda doctors practising overseas have been formally endorsed under this initiative, creating a trusted global network of accredited practitioners.

The statement followed a review meeting held by the ministry to assess ATAB's performance and ongoing efforts to expand the global footprint of Ayurveda through course accreditation and professional endorsement. The meeting was chaired by Prataprao Jadhav, Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Ayush and Minister of State for Health.

ATAB was established by the Ayush Ministry under the administrative framework of Rashtriya Ayurveda Vidyapeeth (RAV), through a gazette notification issued in December 2019. It was created to accredit Ayurveda training courses in India and abroad that are not regulated by existing statutory bodies, ensuring quality, credibility and global outreach of Ayurveda through institutional mechanisms, the statement said.
