Modern medicine or allopathic medicine has, over the past few decades, made significant strides in the area of disease management. However, in spite of the significant breakthroughs that it has witnessed, modern medicine continues to be primarily an “offense strategy” for managing ailments. It does not stress upon disease prevention because the etiology of chronic diseases is unknown. In contrast to this, Ayurveda (or Knowledge of Life) system primarily utilizes the “defence strategy” in health management- as detailed and described in the treatise. Ayurveda prescribes a holistic approach towards managing health, and diseases and is very pertinent in today’s world. However, the treatise in its existing form needs to be updated in today’s context, and for a wider audience. Realizing this critical need, Dr. Gopal Basisht, MD in alliance with Ayurveda scholars in India like Prof.R.H.Singh, Prof.M.S.Baghel, Prof. V.K.Joshi, Prof. H.M.Chandola, conceptualized the Charaka Samhita New Wiki Edition and Update initiative in 2013. Dr.Yogesh Deole, Ph.D. co-ordinated this project with the able support of India’s leading authorities in the field. Mr.Pallav Mishra operated the project technically and linguistically since 2016.
