Background: Central Research Institute for Siddha was established in the year 1971 in a rented building at Chennai.  Subsequently the Government of Tamil Nadu has consented to provide a rent-free new building in order to impulse the research in Siddha system of medicine.  In the year 1975, this institute was shifted to the current rent free building and also established the Department of Clinical Research (DCR) along with the departments like Pathology and Bio-chemistry.

            The department of Clinical research carries out the clinical trials with 50 bedded hospital facilities.  Department of Biochemistry and Pathology laboratories also support the clinical research.  Pharmaco-vigilance cell also functions effectively for the betterment of the society and the system.
