The Central Council For Research in Ayurveda and Siddha (CCRAS) currently has a website. Upon review it was found that the web site is lacking along several dimensions. Therefore it was decided that the web site needs to be reevaluated from the perspective of modern web site design and a redesigned according to modern standards. <br><br>
CCRAS is the official authority on Ayurveda and Siddha as per sanction from the government. The viewers of the web site include researchers, private companies, other government agencies, doctors and laypeople. The current website however does not target laypeople and its mission is not to disseminate knowledge on Ayurveda to lay people. Rather it is positioned as the government affiliated agency that has authority on conducting various types of research in Ayurveda and Siddha and presenting this research to the world.
