The Ministry of AYUSH has accelerated efforts to modernise traditional healthcare systems by launching digital platforms like the Ayush Hospital Management Information System (AHMIS) under the Ayush Grid. The initiative aims to digitise inventories and enable real-time tracking of medicine availability across AYUSH health facilities by doctors and pharmacists.
Digital Push Under Ayush Grid
The AHMIS platform is designed to streamline hospital operations, improve transparency, and ensure better availability of medicines in Ayurveda, Yoga, Unani, Siddha, and Homeopathy (AYUSH) centres. This move is expected to strengthen healthcare delivery and reduce shortages in public facilities.
Awareness Campaigns Through NAM
Under the National Ayush Mission (NAM), the government is supporting State and Union Territory administrations to run Behaviour Change Communication (BCC) and Information, Education, and Communication (IEC) campaigns. These initiatives focus on raising public awareness about the benefits of AYUSH systems using mass media and community outreach.
Community Outreach and Public Health Programmes
Structured AYUSH Public Health Programmes are being implemented to conduct health camps and address local health concerns. These programmes promote preventive, promotive, curative, and rehabilitative care, either independently or alongside conventional medical systems.
12,500 Ayushman Arogya Mandirs Operational
The government has operationalised over 12,500 Ayushman Arogya Mandirs (AAMs) across the country under NAM. These centres serve as grassroots hubs for delivering AYUSH-based healthcare services and spreading awareness about preventive health practices.
Training Healthcare Workers and Strengthening Capacity
To enhance service delivery, the ministry has conducted Training of Trainers (ToT) programmes for healthcare workers, including ASHA and ANM staff. These workers play a key role in educating communities about simple AYUSH-based remedies and wellness practices.
Additionally, in collaboration with the Central Health Education Bureau (CHEB), the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS), and the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, master training programmes were conducted in 2024 and 2025. These focused on managing musculoskeletal and metabolic disorders through AYUSH systems and included participants from all States and Union Territories.
Financial Assistance and AYURGYAN Scheme
Under NAM’s flexible component, financial support is provided for capacity building of teaching staff, medical officers, and paramedical personnel. States and UTs can access funds by submitting proposals through State Annual Action Plans (SAAPs).
The ministry is also implementing the AYURGYAN scheme, which offers financial assistance for training programmes and Continuing Medical Education (CME) for AYUSH professionals.
Government Commitment to AYUSH Growth
The government reiterated its commitment to strengthening AYUSH systems nationwide through coordinated efforts with State and UT governments. Financial assistance is being extended for awareness campaigns and infrastructure development to promote holistic healthcare.
The information was shared by Prataprao Jadhav, Minister of State (Independent Charge) for AYUSH, in a written reply in the Lok Sabha.
