ITRA, Jamnagar, which observed its sixth Foundation Day as ITRA Day, is the first institute of which system of medicine to be granted the status of Institute of National Importance?

The correct answer is Ayurveda. The Institute of Teaching and Research in Ayurveda at Jamnagar is the first institute in the field of Ayurveda to be given the status of an Institute of National Importance, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi dedicated it to the nation on 15 October 2020. It functions under the Ministry of Ayush and marked its sixth Foundation Day as ITRA Day on 15 October 2026. Option B is wrong because, although the institute does run short and diploma courses in Yoga and Naturopathy, its national importance status is in Ayurveda and not in that stream. Option C, Homoeopathy, and option D, Unani, are other systems under the Ayush umbrella, but the release concerns an Ayurveda institute and no such claim is made for them. Candidates should link the institute with Jamnagar in Gujarat, with Ayurveda and with the date of its dedication to the nation.
