Owing to fast paced world that we are living in, we are getting far from the nature. While the lifestyle that we live can have adverse effect on us, it is important to know that by introducing small changes in our daily life can go a long way in keeping us healthy and energetic. Therefore, the importance of Ayurveda holds true in today’s life as it is based on the principal of bringing us close to nature and relying on its natural powers to cure us and keep us healthy without any side effects.

Thanks to the use of natural ingredients and medicinal herbs, Ayurvedic medicines and products today have become a symbol of safety in contrast to synthetic drugs that are considered unsafe and hazardous for overall health.

One way of understanding the basic fundamentals of Indian Ayurved is to spend more time with nature and observe the plants and herbs. Each plant or herb has a specific quality and can be used to treat multitude of ailments and diseases. Medicinal plants like aloe, turmeric, tulsi, pepper, elachi and ginger are commonly used in a number of Ayurvedic home remedies and are considered to be the best aid among fighting ailments related to throat and skin. As a rich source of nutrients, anti-bacterial and antioxidant properties, ayurvedic herbs are non-toxic in nature and so the products or remedies made using them are often recommended for their high therapeutic value.

Treatment with herbal medicinal plants also hold a strong ground because these plants are considered to be safe and have no side effects. Since they are in sync with nature, they hold greater advantage over chemically treated products and synthetic medicines. As opposed to other drugs and medicines, Ayurvedic herbs are known to treat the disease from the root and thus aid in keeping you healthy and fit in the long run.

To fulfill the vision of Reneble Energy Development, the Institution represents the best opportunity regardng solar energy for welfare of our Society & Nation. But, it is necessary to know about what is solar energy ? And how to realise it ? In short lines “Solar energy is an energy from the Sun in the form of radiated heat and light. It drives the climate & weather and supports life on the Earth.” Thus, our fundamental-life and technical-life will be more affected in absence of sun light. The ambitions of the Institution is to elaborate solar-technique in rural and
scheduled areas, specially. The Institution wants to make solar-technique very easy for all as to much far form urban area’s. We can remove energy backwardness of rural area’s by adopting solar-system in our practical-life.

In other word — The Institution has brought-up an energy welfare scheme for rural consumers under title of – “Fundamental Institute of Solar Energy”. This programme will be entertained through Voluntary Co operative Development System. So, it has been decided to begin under mico and macro level of development with a view to personal and community energy improvements. It will be extended either on co-operative or individual system for six qualifying years. Its every stage will be of sixty months. One qualifying year has five years, only.
