This state-of-the-art centre will be developed within the campus of Central Ayurveda Research Institute, Bhubaneswar.
Speaking at the event, the Union Minister, Sarbananda Sonowal said, “Ayush movement has gained a lot of prominence under the dynamic leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji. Thanks to Modiji’s untiring effort to leverage our ancient and rich heritage of traditional medicine, we are moving towards an integrated medicine approach where an empowered Ayush system of medicine will be used along with modern medicine in building a robust patient care delivery system in the country. As we begin the journey of the Ayush Diksha Centre here today, this centre will enable the Ayush professionals to hone their skills and upscale their dexterity in providing world-class patient care services to the people of the country. It will prove to be a catalyst to the powerful Ayush movement and its attempt at global movement towards a healthy and happy life experience.”
The institution will offer training programmes for Ayush professionals, especially those from Ayurveda, as it aims to collaborate with national institutes of prominence for capacity development, strengthening human resources, facilitating research and development, and achieving self-sustainability with the objective of generating revenue. The Ayush Diksha Centre is being built with a budget of ₹30 crores. It will be equipped with state-of-the-art facilities including two auditoriums, 40 modern rooms with all amenities, suites for VIPs, dedicated space for a natural library, discussion rooms, a modular kitchen, dining lounge, among other amenities.
Adding further, the Union Minister, Sarbananda Sonowal said, “Under the inspiring leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji, our rich heritage of Ayurveda has received due attention which was lacking, or conspicuously absent, from earlier Congress-led governments. Today, the Ayush movement has regained strength as it marches towards reclaiming its glory. The resurgent Ayush movement has become a pioneer in the rejuvenation of traditional medicine from across the world. We know how Yoga has revolutionised the world towards a healthy living movement. With a focussed approach to enable and empower other traditional medicines of India, we are confident that Modiji’s vision of a Swastha Bharat will be achieved. The integrated medicinal approach will prove a boon for the people of the country as they can move towards healing their ailments as well as enriching their quality of life by empowering their physical and mental well-being.”
The event was also graced by the MP (Lok Sabha) for Bhubaneswar, Aparajita Sarangi, the Director General of CCRAS, Prof Vaidya Rabinarayan Acharya, among other senior officials of the ministry, students and Ayush professionals.
