Hanumakonda: In a significant boost to holistic health studies, the Vice-Chancellor of Kakatiya University (KU), K. Prathap Reddy, released 11 bibliography volumes dedicated to Naturopathy during a ceremony at the university Senate Hall on Friday. The volumes were compiled by Prof. G.

Why This Matters

BozokMedia analysis shows that the lack of structured, multilingual reference material has often hindered global research in natural medicine. By releasing these bibliographies in multiple languages and establishing an MoU for research scholars, Kakatiya University is bridging the gap between traditional wisdom and modern academic rigor.

The systematic documentation of naturopathic knowledge is essential for its recognition in mainstream global healthcare.

Prof. Rameshwaram highlighted that the bibliographies are available in Telugu, English, Hindi, and Marathi, making them accessible to a diverse scholarly audience. He also noted that the International Naturopathy Library and Research Centre is a treasure trove, housing approximately 8,000 rare manuscripts, books, and journals.
