“India has immense potential to become the world’s health and wellness capital. The day is not far when, along with “Make in India,” the world will also adopt “Heal in India” as a mantra”, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said. The Prime Minister was talking after laying the foundation stone (virtually) of Central Ayurveda Research Institute in Rohini on Sunday.
He added that over the past decade, the AYUSH system has expanded to more than 100 countries. “To facilitate foreign citizens in availing AYUSH treatments in India, a special AYUSH visa facility has been introduced and in a short span, hundreds of foreign nationals have benefited from this facility,” the Prime Minister said.
Terming the upcoming Central Ayurveda Research Institute in Rohini as the ‘Ayurveda’s next big leap’, Modi said that the Government was focused on making healthcare accessible to the poorest of the poor by promoting traditional Indian medicine systems like AYUSH and Ayurveda. He also pointed out that the first World Health Organization (WHO) institution related to traditional medicine was being established in India.
The new facility, spanning 2.92 acres with an investment of ₹187 crore, will feature a 100-bed research hospital dedicated to advancing Ayurveda research and providing healthcare services to the community. The project, set to be completed within 30 months, is expected to further strengthen India’s leadership in traditional medicine.
