The Institute’s health curriculum, culminating in this manual, has been developed over almost two decades and through
continuous consultation with trainees, trainers, health workers, professional and experienced social workers, doctors in
Ayurveda, Allopathy, Homeopathy and Naturopathy, academic experts in education, personnel working in the fields of
women and health, and staff and volunteers at the Institute. The process of developing this manual has also included rigorous
field studies, cooperation from national and international organizations, and various questions and queries asked by past
trainees. The staff of Barli has also been involved in the continuous collecting of indigenous knowledge from the trainees,
their families and communities. This includes the collection of local names of herbs, plants, food and diseases, as well as
everyday items such as clothes so that trainees can relate the manual to themselves. Special care has been taken to make the
language of this manual simple, understandable and accessible for the trainees.
