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. He noted that institutions like NIA are playing a critical role through advanced research, digital health initiatives, international collaboration and patient-centric models of care.

Appreciating the consistent support of the Rajasthan Government, Jadhav sought continued cooperation for land and infrastructure expansion of the institute. He expressed confidence that NIA would emerge as a global hub for holistic wellness and significantly contribute to the "Heal in India" vision.

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.
