NEW DELHI — In a major step toward strengthening digital governance and eliminating bureaucratic delays in the traditional medicine sector, Shri Prataprao Jadhav, Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Ayush, officially launched the Ayush Anudan Portal at Kartavya Bhawan, New Delhi. Developed under the government’s flagship Ayush Grid initiative, this advanced platform acts as a comprehensively revamped, end-to-end digital version of the previous Ayush NGO portal. It is specifically engineered to streamline the online submission, processing, validation, approval, and monitoring of funding proposals across all Central Sector Schemes.
Launching the portal, Minister Jadhav stated that the platform directly embodies Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s core governance visions of “Ease of Doing Business” and “Ease of Living”. By migrating the entirety of the grant lifecycle onto a unified online space, the ministry is introducing a transparent, citizen-centric, and entirely paperless ecosystem powered by modern cloud technology.
NGO Darpan Integration Eradicates Bureaucratic Bottlenecks
A major highlight of the newly deployed Ayush Anudan Portal is its direct, real-time integration with the central government’s National NGO Darpan Portal. Historically, non-governmental organisations, educational clinics, and research bodies seeking central funds faced lengthy verification delays. Manual credential checks across multiple state departments often created administrative bottlenecks.
The new framework resolves these challenges by introducing automated, cross-platform credibility checks. The instant link guarantees that applicant details are authenticated against central registries immediately. This makes the initial screening process automated, error-free, and highly secure, while effectively preventing fraudulent or unverified groups from siphoning off public resources.

Real-Time Tracking and Sector-Wide Alignment
The functional setup of the portal shifts accountability directly to the reviewing authorities. It features an open real-time application tracking mechanism, enabling institutional applicants and ministry officials to monitor the precise status of any funding proposal at every operational step. This eliminates the need for physical follow-ups or administrative inquiries.
Furthermore, the portal divides applications scheme-wise. This ensures that whether an institution is applying for clinical infrastructure, research capital, or dynamic public awareness initiatives, the request is filtered directly to the correct department according to the unique mandates of different central sector guidelines. The entire operational architecture is accessible directly via the My Ayush Integrated Services Portal (MAISP), establishing a true single-window experience for sector stakeholders.

The Broader Ayush Grid Vision
The Ayush Anudan Portal is the latest expansion of India’s larger Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM)-compliant Ayush Grid project. Officials highlighted that the ministry has already deployed cloud-based IT networks across several operational streams, including the Ayush Health Management Information System (AHMIS) for patient care, digital licensing for drug regulation, centralized scientific case registries for research, and consumer-facing tools like the Ayush Sanjivani app and Yoga Locator.
The launch event was attended by Ayush Secretary Vaidya Rajesh Kotecha, alongside Joint Secretaries Dr. Kavita Jain, Smt. Alarmelmangai D., and Ms. Monalisa Dash. Minister Jadhav concluded by stating that by bringing financial transactions under the secure, audited architecture of the Ayush Grid, the government is successfully building a highly accountable and innovation-driven environment for traditional systems of medicine throughout the country.
