Jiva’s manufacturing unit now an HACCP-certified institution

Jan. 1, 2009 - PRLog -- Jiva’s commitment, to manufacture quality products conforming to GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) norms of the government and meeting international standards, received a fillip with the recent HACCP certification.

With a range of over 200 beauty and healthcare products that include tablets, syrups, powders, Chyawanprash, soaps, shampoos and toners, Jiva has successfully helped millions of people to lead healthy, balanced life. It has a global presence with a customer base spanning 100 countries, five continents including the U.S., Mexico, France, Germany, Poland, Lithuania, Croatia, Latvia, South Africa and Japan, besides India.

“This [HACCP certification] is going to reassure the faith that patients across the world repose on Jiva’s quality medicines and health products”, emoted Dr. Partap Chauhan, Director, Jiva Ayurveda, reacting to the latest feather in his organisation’s cap.

Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points or, in short, HACCP certification is an internationally-recognised systematic preventive approach to food and pharmaceutical safety. It involves monitoring of the daily work in the manufacturing process to prevent hazards caused by physical, chemical and biological means. It is opposed to a majority of other quality control systems that involve finished product inspection.

Jiva is an idea--that India's traditional knowledge systems can provide valuable answers to solving modern problems. Whether it's science, healthcare, education, or technology, the scholars of India have evolved comprehensive understandings of life over the millenia that demonstrate how people can remain balanced and how we can help keep balance in our world. Unfortunately, much of this great wisdom has been lost through the years. It is our goal to revive this knowledge and make it accessible to people in this era through relevant programs, products, and services. The cornerstone of our work is Jiva Culture, led by Dr. Satya Narayana Dasa who collects and translates traditional Vedic scriptures. This information is infused into educational projects by Steven Rudolph, and into Ayurvedic projects by Dr. Partap Chauhan. To carry out our activities, we have establish a number of companies and non-profit organizations that are headed by Rishi Pal Chauhan
