Ans: Hello,
what are her interests, if you can share it would be easy to guide.

Ans: Hi Shyamal,

Congratulations on your daughter pursuing a career in Indian medicine! There are numerous opportunities available in various sectors, including academia, government, private practice, and entrepreneurship.

Here are some details regarding potential career paths:

**Academics:** She can find job opportunities in both government and private colleges.

**Physician:** Nowadays, there is a dedicated wing for physicians trained in Indian medicine or AYUSH (Ayurveda, Yoga, Unani, Siddha, and Homeopathy). These physicians can serve as drug inspectors for AYUSH medications.

**Industry:** Obtaining an approved BAMS (Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery) certificate is mandatory to start or operate an Ayush Pharma industry.

**Research:** AYUSH formulations have gained significant attention, especially after COVID-19, which opens up many research opportunities in this field.

Additionally, she could consider starting her clinic or launching an industry.
The current Indian government (BJP) supports young entrepreneurs in all aspects, especially women, who have advantages for growth in India. Grab this opportunity.
If she has any specific interests or questions, please let me know!

Wishing her all the best!
