Reasons how these centres can act as a measure to uplift traditional medicines and its business

  • In a recent visit to China, External Affairs Minister S.Jaishankar signed an agreement with the Chinese delegates to look upon with the bilateral relations for the growth of traditional medicine in India and China. With this, and the PM's announcement, Indian Traditional medicine and "AYUSH' or Ayurveda will grow more. This step would enhance the importance of Ayurveda in India along strengthening overseas relations on the basis of traditional medicine.

  • According to PM Modi, government has decided to welcome more professionals in the field of Ayush, this will act as a dual sided developmental model which will increase employment in Ayush sector and will also evict isolation of Ayurveda in India.

  • Opening of around 1.5 Lakh health and wellness centres, equipped with AYUSH advanced and updated facilities will curb down the expensive medicinal treatments and will increase the demand of ayurvedic medicines in India and overseas. So, economic aspect will be taken into consideration.

  • Apart from traditional medicine growth, Ayush Centres will drive the attention of the Indian entrepreneurs towards Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homeopathy. With FDI in this sector and entrepreneurs' ideas, economic growth of the sector will rise and capitalize the medicinal sector.

Ministry of "Ayush' runs several healthcare programs primarily aimed at rural population of the nation. More than '60,000' children have been enrolled for "Homeopathy for healthy Child program' which raise general awareness about AYUSH and promote employment growth in the rural sector of the nation.
