As the country celebrated its 2nd National Ayurveda Day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the first ever All India Institute of Ayurveda in Delhi.

In efforts to integrate traditional medicinal practices and the modern healthcare, the Prime Minister said, “We respect every health system and want the growth of all. The government wants that the poor get access to get India’s healthcare system. ‘’

The first ever All India Institute of Ayurveda has been set up along the lines of All India Institute of Medical Sciences and will be managed by the Ministry of AYUSH.
