Abstract
In Ayurvedic embryology, various interesting concepts of conception, formation of zygote and foetus and various different organs and system formation are explained. Among that concept of cell division and differentiation in conscious foetus (Chetanayukt Garbha) is mentioned. The role of Panchmahabhutas and Tridoshas in the formation and development of Garbha is mentioned. Among them most important is “Vayu â€which is responsible for cell division .Vayu is vital force which divides zygote into different limb buds and organs. Thus main function of “Vata“ is incomprehensible like formation of foetal shape. But perturbations in “Vata†is responsible for formation of various congenital anomalies i.e Garbhavikruti.
 In modern concepts of developmental biology, important area is “Morphogenetic fieldâ€. It was first introduced in 1910 by Alexander G. Gurwitsch. He analyzed the embryonic development of the sea urchin as a vector field, As it is the proliferation of cells into organs were brought about by putative external forces. It is the set of process that generates shape and form in the embryo. Morphogenetic movement is caused by large scale and dynamic movement of embryonic cell which is under control of Vata. Failures in any step of process can lead to birth defects.
 Ancient Acharyas have mentioned various measures under Garbhini Paricharya for pregnant women from first day of conception till parturition. It restores the Vayu to its normal course and condition. Thus it helps the morphogenetic movement occur without any failure to have healthy foetus and progeny.Thus prevalence of congenital anamolies can be reduced by understanding Vayu as Garbhakrutinam ,Morphogenetic field and following Garbhini paricharya.

Summary
A substantial 41 percent, i.e around 450 milion ,are children.The development of the country depends upon the number of healthy children in that country .Most developed countries have large number of healthy children. It is important to prevent births with congenital anomalies. Because congenital anomalies are a major cause of still births and neonatal mortality in India. More of the birth defects can be prevented by following healthy regimen during pregnancy. This article is about the role of Vata in embryogenesis according to Ayurveda, what is morphogenetic field, and how congenital anomalies occurred and their prevention by following Ayurvedic measures during pregnancy (Garbhini Paricharya) to control Vata. To study the concept of morphogenesis w.s.r to Ayurvedic embryogenesis AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: 1. To study the concept of morphogenesis w.s.r to Ayurvedic embryogenesis
