The Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for AYUSH, Prataprao Jadhav, said that the 50-year journey of the National Institute of Ayurveda reflects the unwavering dedication of generations of Ayurvedic scholars, physicians and researchers who have preserved and advanced this ancient science. He described NIA as a cornerstone institution in India's holistic healthcare ecosystem.

Jadhav stated that under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, AYUSH systems have been firmly integrated into the national healthcare framework. He referred to key budgetary announcements, including the establishment of three new All India Institutes of Ayurveda and the upgradation of the WHO Global Centre for Traditional Medicine at Jamnagar, as transformative steps for the sector.

The Minister emphasized that the Government's objective is to position AYUSH as an evidence-based, scientifically validated and globally accepted healthcare system.

The Deputy Chief Minister and Minister for AYUSH, Rajasthan, Prem Chand Bairwa, said that the Golden Jubilee celebrations of the National Institute of Ayurveda are a matter of pride for both Rajasthan and the nation. He noted that the transformation of the institute from an Ayurveda college in 1976 to a nationally and internationally recognized institution reflects its academic excellence and service ethos.

Bairwa reiterated the State Government's commitment to strengthening Ayurveda, Yoga and traditional medicine for public health promotion. He assured that Rajasthan would continue to extend full support to develop NIA as a world-class centre of Ayurveda education, research and patient care.
