Develp Srinivasa Ayurveda Pharmacy into A Model Laboratory - TTD JEO((H&E)

The TTD Joint Executive Officer (Medical & Education), Dr. A. Sharath, has instructed officials to develop the Srinivasa Ayurveda Pharmacy, which is being run under TTD, into a model laboratory. He visited the pharmacy located at Narasingapuram near Srinivasa Mangapuram on Monday.

Speaking on the occasion, he stated that the pharmacy is spread across 19 acres. He suggested establishing a comprehensive herbal medicine plant within the premises. He directed the officials to prepare a detailed report on the medicines required for various diseases, the plants needed for their preparation, the resources currently available, and the medicinal plants being procured from outside.

He emphasized reducing dependency on externally sourced medicinal plants and instead cultivating them within the pharmacy land in a planned manner. This would help produce high-quality raw materials locally. He also instructed that the entire land of the pharmacy should be fully utilized and developed into a herbal medicine hub.

He further advised collecting data on the plants currently being cultivated and those being brought from outside, and preparing a plan to minimize external procurement. The land should be developed like a laboratory, where essential medicinal plant parts such as leaves, roots, and bark are grown on-site.

After the review, he inspected the products being manufactured at the pharmacy and the functioning of the machinery, and offered several suggestions.

AP Medicinal and Aromatic Plants Board CEO Sri A. Chandrasekhar, Pharmacy In-charge Dr. Renu Dixit, SE Sri Narasimha Murthy, DE Sri Damodar, and other officials and staff were present.
