The International Grand Centennial Convention on Ayurveda and Ayurveda Health Expo -2008 (IGCC) organised in association with the Tamil Nadu Government, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare and the Department of Ayush marks the culmination of the yearlong birth centenary celebrations of AVP founder Dr P.V. Rama Varier.
