New Delhi,
Oct 17: Underlining that overlooking its history and heritage can be fatal
for a country, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday expressed his
government's commitment to achieve integration of Ayurveda, Yoga and other
Ayush systems in the public health care system. Speaking after dedicating the
first ever All India Institute of Ayurveda to the nation here, the Prime
Minister called upon the practitioners of Ayush to develop their own trust in
the system and work for its expansion with full devotion. 'Ayush integrated
into the public health care system will not be a decision just confined to
files,but will be a practical reality,' he said, and underlined that 'Ayush is
not just a system of medicine but it brings in its ambit social, public and environmental
health.' The Prime Minister also called for standardisation of the Ayush
education and modern packaging of its medicines. He also called upon Ayush
practitioners to go for research to develop medicines with immediate results
but without side effects, keeping in view the demands of the times. He said
under the foreign rule, there had been attempts to ridicule and lessen the
importance of Indian system of knowledge and achievements of its rishis and
scientists, and after Independence too not much attention was paid to reclaim
the country’s rich heritage. However, Mr Modi said that for the last three
years his government had been taking steps to reverse the trend. He said his
government’s main focus was on preventive healthcare and providing affordable
and easily accessible health care to the poor, and Ayush can take a lead in
this drive. The first ever AIIA has been set up under the ministry of AYUSH
along the lines of All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS). The
Institute was expected to bring synergy between the traditional wisdom of
Ayurveda and modern diagnostic tools and technology. UNI
