There is no institution, no school, college, university, to study these. They have medical college. Kṣetra means this body. Idaṁ śarīraṁ kṣetram ity abhidhīyate (BG 13.2). So they has little knowledge about this anatomical, physiological, condition of this body, but they do not know the kṣetra-jña. Kṣetra-jña they do not know.
