How the exam will ask it
ପ୍ରିଲିମ୍ସ
- The All India Institute of Ayurveda is an apex institution functioning under the Ministry of Ayush, located in New Delhi.
- The acronym AYUSH stands for Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homoeopathy.
- Statement check: Public health and hospitals fall in the State List of the Seventh Schedule, so a new central institute in a State needs State cooperation on land and sites.
ମେନ୍ସ
GS-II (Health; traditional medicine): the issue is integrating AYUSH into mainstream health care through apex institutions. Policy instruments include the Ministry of Ayush, the National AYUSH Mission and institutes such as AIIA, which promote research, education and evidence-based practice. The implication is a need for quality standards, clinical evidence and Centre-State coordination; the way forward is rigorous research, regulation and integration with public health systems.
