The Academy, founded in 1934, aims at promoting the progress and upholding the cause of science in pure and applied branches. Major activities include publication of scientific journals and special volumes, organizing meetings of the Fellowship and discussions on important topics, recognizing scientific talent, improvement of science education and taking up other issues of concern to the scientific community.

This document, authored by M.S. Valiathan, is 'an effort to place before the scientific community, especially that of India, the unique scientific opportunities that arise out of viewing Ayurveda from the perspective of contemporary science'. It was formally released by Academy President T. V. Ramakrishnan at the 72nd Annual Meeting at Indore on 10 November 2006.

Scientific values

The Council of the Academy had in 2003 constituted a Committee to consider and submit a report on ethical guidelines which the fellowship of the Academy should follow.

    A Panel on Scientific Values has been constituted to look into any complaints passed on to it by the President of the Academy.
