The event highlighted NIA's journey from its establishment in 1976 as an Ayurveda college to its present status as India's first Ayurveda Deemed-to-be University, contributing significantly in the areas of education, training, research, manuscriptology and patient care.

The Chief Minister of Rajasthan, Bhajan Lal Sharma, while addressing the Golden Jubilee celebrations of the National Institute of Ayurveda (NIA), Jaipur, said that the institute stands as a living bridge between India's ancient medical wisdom and modern scientific inquiry. He stated that the completion of 50 years marks not merely a milestone in time, but a journey of dedicated service, research and commitment to public health through Ayurveda.

The Chief Minister highlighted that Rajasthan has historically been a fertile land for Ayurveda, enriched with medicinal biodiversity and traditional knowledge systems. He said that the State Government is working continuously to strengthen AYUSH systems and integrate Ayurveda, Yoga and traditional medicine into the mainstream healthcare framework for the benefit of the masses.

Commending the National Institute of Ayurveda for its national leadership in education, research and patient care, Bhajan Lal Sharma said that NIA has emerged as one of the premier Ayurveda institutions of the country. He assured full support of the State Government for the expansion of infrastructure, academic excellence and future-oriented growth of the institute.

Calling the Golden Jubilee a moment of renewed resolve, the Chief Minister said that collective efforts are required to transform NIA into a global centre of Ayurveda education and research in the coming decades. He congratulated the faculty members, students, researchers and alumni for their invaluable contribution to the institute's legacy.

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.

Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma and Union Minister Prataprao Jadhav also launched and inaugurated several important programmes and facilities as part of the Golden Jubilee celebrations.
