The collaboration between the Ministries of Ayush and Tribal Affairs will help to explore the areas of collaboration, convergence and synergy between both ministries for tribal development while preserving the tribal cultural heritage through evidence-based planning and capacity building.
This year’s 7th Ayurveda Day was celebrated with the theme “Har Din Har Ghar Ayurveda” to propagate the benefits of Ayurveda to the larger and grass root community.
The six-week-long celebration witnessed huge participation from across the country, where more than 5000 events were organized by Ministry of Ayush institutes/councils with the support of more than 26 ministries of the Government of India and Ministry of External Affairs India missions and embassies.
Tribal Affairs Minister Arjun Munda said, “Ayurveda is India’s ancient tradition and wealth. Ayurveda can be nurtured in association with the people living in the forests. Ayurveda is the only medical science that talks about prevention of disease, not treatment after getting sick.”
Munda said, under the dynamic leadership of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi research and development works are being taken up to promote Ayush system.
