PRAYATNA is a flagship initiative of the Central Council for Research in Ayurvedic Sciences (CCRAS) to foster scientific writing skills among Ayurveda PG/Ph.D Scholars. The scheme is aimed at improving the quality of publications in the Ayurveda sector for effective dissemination and high-impact publications.

In this scheme, the colleges / Institutes apply through the expression of interest (EoI) followed by the two online orientation sessions focusing on the basics of scientific writing, followed by individual manuscript assistance to the Scholars. After the review, a physical workshop of 3 days is conducted at the Institutes to provide hands-on support to the Scholars and culminating in publication-ready manuscripts. 

CCRAS Digital Initiatives Dashboard has been developed by Central Council for Research in Ayurvedic Sciences (CCRAS) as an integrated platform for showcasing the Council's web-based and digital resources to improve their accessibility and for facilitating dissemination of research outputs and institutional resources on a single web-based platform. The dashboard is available at dashboard.ccras.org.in.

The dashboard has various sections such as Office suite, CCRAS Institute Websites, CCRAS Internal applications, Web portal - Informatics & Point of Care applications, Web portal - Knowledge & Literature, Web portal – Schemes, Web portal – Others, Mobile applications, Project specific applications, Applications under testing, CCRAS Journals, Social media pages and Web portal - legacy version long with a search functionality.

There are twenty-one chapters in this book, designed to address the requirements as per different units of the respective six modules. This book is the outcome of joint effort of 34 scientists and 16 faculty comprising senior professors, domain experts and Research professionals from both Ayush and modern scientific streams. Each chapter has undergone through three stages i.e. structured drafting, peer review and phased editorial refinement.
