Raman govt to work with Baba Ramdev

The Union Health Minister might be at loggerheads with Baba Ramdev but the Chhattisgarh government is set to sign an agreement with Baba Ramdev8217;s Ayurvedic Institute at Hardwar for joint development and marketing of ayurvedic products in the country.

The agreement is the brainchild of Chief Minister Raman Singh, himself a qualified ayurvedic practitioner, and envisages the setting up of an Ayurvedic Development Institute in the state.

Under the agreement, Baba Ramdev8217;s institute would provide the expertise while the Chhattisgarh State Herbal Development Board would provide the raw material. The agreement is expected to be inked during the week-long visit of Baba Ramdev to the state capital from December 25.
