The word “AYUSH” is an acronym and it stands for Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, Sowa-Rigpa and Homoeopathy.
It has been the focus of the Government to promote traditional alternate systems of medicines since these are time tested means of healthcare delivery which are low cost, easily available safe and prevalent in various regions of the country. For ease of administration, these systems have been kept under one umbrella which is growing.
