Panaji, August 8, 2026: Bilvadal Parivar celebrated its 13th Foundation Day at the Institute Menezes Braganza Hall in Panaji, recognising distinguished service in medicine and honouring traditional herbal healers from across Goa.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The highlight of the programme was the presentation of the Goa Bhushan Award to renowned spine neurosurgeon Dr Premanand Ramani. Several \u201cVaidya Mitras\u201d were also felicitated for their contribution to traditional herbal healing practices and community healthcare.<\/p>\n

Addressing the gathering, Chief Minister Dr Pramod Sawant praised Bilvadal Parivar for its contribution to Goa\u2019s literary, cultural and social life.<\/p>\n

\u201cIndian culture has always viewed health as an integral part of society\u2019s well-being. Ayurveda and traditional healing practices occupy an important place in this heritage,\u201d Sawant said.<\/p>\n

He noted that the Vaidya Mitras honoured at the function had served society without seeking publicity. Recognising their contribution, he said, was an important step towards preserving traditional knowledge.<\/p>\n

The Chief Minister called for a combination of modern science and traditional knowledge to build a healthier society. He also encouraged the younger generation to scientifically study medicinal plants, home remedies and traditional Indian lifestyles and apply that knowledge for the benefit of the community.<\/p>\n
