To set up a Central Research Institute of Yoga & Naturopathy (CRIYN) at Bhubaneswar, Odisha with 100 bedded hospital, the Central Council for Research in Yoga & Naturopathy (CCRYN) has obtained 20 acres of cost free land from the State Government. Funds to the tune of Rs.157.88 lakhs have been released to the CPWD for construction of boundary wall, walking track etc. Demarcation of the allotted land has been completed in July, 2016. The Project is presently held up due to resistance of the residents of the locality.
