New Delhi, Oct 23 (IANS) More than 150 countries across the globe have geared up to celebrate Ayurveda Day on October 29, the Ministry of Ayush said on Wednesday.

The ninth Ayurveda Day will be celebrated around the theme ‘Ayurveda Innovations for Global Health’.

“Ayurveda Day has now become a global movement. We are proud to learn that as many as 150 countries are expected to join Ayurveda Day celebrations in 2024,” said Prataprao Jadhav, Union Minister of State for Ayush (I/C).

We aim to promote Ayurveda globally as a robust system of medicine for the welfare of the public,” Jadhav said. He noted that the All India Institute of Ayurveda has initiated a month-long programme across the country.

Since its inception in 2016, Ayurveda Day has gained global significance. Currently, Ayurveda is recognised in as many as 24 countries across the globe, while Ayurveda products are exported to over 100 countries.

“Ayush focuses on integrating Ayurveda with contemporary science to address critical health issues including non-communicable diseases, mental health, antimicrobial resistance, and geriatric care,” said Vaidya Rajesh Kotecha, Secretary, Ministry of Ayush.

“Ayurveda knowledge is made conveniently accessible to the public through digital platforms under the umbrella of Ayush Grid including major initiatives such as Ayurgyan Scheme, Ayush Research Portal, and Namaste Portal,” he added.
