Kaziranga: Ayush Minister Sarbananda Sonowal on Monday urged young researchers and scientists to explain the benefits of Ayush system of medicine to people in their native languages so that it reaches a larger section of society.
Ayush is pivotal to the ‘Heal in India and Heal by India’ ecosystem, Sonowal said while inaugurating a two-day ‘Chintan Shivir’ of the ministry at the Kaziranga National Park in Assam.
Considerable research needs to be done in this sector, and its benefits must reach a large section of society — both within the country and globally, he said.
Minister of State for Ayush Munjapara Mahendrabhai said now the world is realising the power of Ayush.
“With the help of digital and technological advances, the power of Ayush can be capitalised from primary healthcare to specialised health centers,” he said.
The two ministers along with senior officers took part in a yoga session during the programme.
