[[Ayurveda]], the science of life, is known for centuries in its original Sanskrit textual form. This science of lifecare, healthcare and disease care has not been updated since centuries. With increasing urbanization of societies, dietary habits, lifestyle patterns, social structures, geographical distributions of medicinal flora, etc. have enormously changed. However, still the ancient Ayurveda medical system is following same Sanskrit texts for defending the newer challenges. The principles of [[Ayurveda]] are universally applicable and have potential to help humanity to live healthy and happy life. Therefore, the edition of ancient compendium to make them contemporarily applicable in today’s era is need of the hour. [[Charak Samhita]] is the most referred text of [[Ayurveda]]. This attempt to update ancient text [[Charak Samhita]] was started with the help of [[Ayurveda]] experts in the year 2013. The methods followed and details of earlier phases can be read on the link of [[Charak Samhita New Edition (Wiki) Project|Charak Samhita New Edition Project]].

A separate section on such important concepts and their contemporary practices is developed in this edition and thirty monographs are published in this edition for better understanding. The monographs include literary review of concepts in Ayurveda texts, research done on the topic followed by contemporary practices. This can form a bridge between the two medical systems and lead to better symbiotic research.
