Foreword It is my earnest wish to write foreword to the text book, "Research Methodology & Medical Statistics" authored by Dr. Anum Raj GR and Dr. Kavya Mohan. Both the authors have grown into highly competent academicians as well as practitioners with their never ending hard work and quest to explore the diversified fields of research in Ayurvedic literature. The first edition of this textbook is based exclusively on the NCISM syllabus for post graduate students of Ayurveda. In this book, the subject matter has been precisely explained keeping in mind the needs of Ayurveda students. Moreover the language used is simple and understandable to the post graduate scholars of Ayurveda. Hence I think that this book will definitely help the first year post graduate students to master the subject of "Research and Statistics and would help them in better preparation for exams.

Preface The Ayurveda system of health care is increasing in acceptance throughout the world. Like any other system of medical science, Ayurveda too have to stand the test of time. Research is one among the prime most tools that helps the system of Ayurveda to answer the challenging questions of today. The Textbook of Research Methodology and Medical Statistics syllabus advised by National Commission for Indian System of Medicine (NCISM) will be of precise aid in equipping the budding post graduate scholars of Ayurveda to meet with all sort of scientific questions as well as challenges. The whole book is divided into two parts (A and B)- Research Methodology (Part A) and Medical Statistics (Part B). There are a total of 30 chapters covering the entire syllabus with 15 chapters in each part. We have made the most conscious effort to detail Ayurvedic part pertaining to each syllabus point, wherever necessary. Even though this book is primarily meant for the first year post graduate students of Ayurveda, other scholars in Ayurveda as well as other specialties can also make use of the text.
