The All India Institute of Ayurveda (AIIA), under the Ministry of Ayush, has launched the six-week-long Ayurveda Day 2022 programme. The theme for the celebration is ‘Har Din Har Ghar Ayurveda’.

“‘Har Din Har Ghar Ayurveda’ stresses on the need to create an awareness of ‘Ayurveda for Holistic Health’ in every household. This will help our nation become healthy and strong,” said the Minister of Ayush Sarabananda Sonawal.

The AYUSH Ministry celebrates Ayurveda Day every year on Dhanvantari Jayanti and this time around, it falls on October 23. The Ministry has joined hands with all other ministries and government departments so that every citizen realizes the benefits of the traditional system of medicine. AIIA was chosen as the nodal agency for conducting the Ayurveda Day programme this year.

Pathak and NCSIM chairman Vaidya Jayant Deopujari.

“The six-week programme is a noble endeavor to take forward the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The success of this programme will be possible only if we can reach every citizen of India, and therefore, over the coming weeks, we will focus all our energies to interact with and sensitize people so that the message of Ayurveda can percolate down to all levels,” Sonawal added.

“By joining hands with other countries, we aim to take Ayurveda to every house and make true the vision ‘From a Healthy India to a Health World’, Dr. Mahendrabhai said.

The programme will see participation from various ministries with the aim of 3Js – Jan Sandesh, Jan Bhagidari, and Jan Aandolan.
