He appreciated the efforts of the centre in this period of crisis to initiate such informative lecture series. 
 
The first lecture in the series was delivered by Prof.Akshay Anand, Editor in Chief of Integrative Medicine case reports and Professor at the Department of Neurosciences, PGIMER, Chandigarh. Prof. RenuThakur, Coordinator, ICSVS introduced the speaker. Prof Anand spoke on The Effect of Diabetic Yoga Protocol on COVID Risk Reduction. He highlighted the need to publish data that facilitates the evidence based integration of modern and traditional medicine useful for COVID prevention and treatment, also outlined by honourable Prime minister in one of his speech. While explaining the published research data emerging from India Yoga Association-SVYASA multi centric NMB trial, and his own research he emphasised that the Diabetic Yoga protocol in the study can be helpful in reduction in stress, hypertension and delayed conversion of pre diabetes into diabetes enabling risk reduction for COVID and other infections. At a time when drug development efforts haven’t yielded any positive results, the benefits of Diabetic protocol and SVYASA COVID Yoga protocol can be tested in current pandemic. In this respect he appealed all professionals to join hands in overcoming the barriers of integration including those at educational, regulatory, funding, publishing and management level.  The multi-disciplinary research can help us to form a strategy to fight these pandemics in future.
