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.
