01 July (HS): Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has said that after giving the

gift of the first Ayush University to the state, the government will build an

Ayush Health Wellness Center of at least 100 beds in every district for public

health. Important facilities like Panchkarma, Ksharsutra will also be made

available here. Along with this, the government has decided to build one Ayush

college at the divisional headquarters level in those six divisions of the

state which were deprived of the facility of such a college till now.

Chief

Minister Yogi was addressing the inauguration ceremony of Uttar Pradesh's first

AYUSH University (Mahayogi Guru Gorakhnath AYUSH University) on Tuesday.

Welcoming the chief guest of the ceremony, President Draupadi Murmu and the

very special guest, Governor Anandi Ben Patel, the Chief Minister said that the

central and state governments are constantly working towards comprehensive

health care. Before 2014, India's ancient health systems and facilities did not

Modi created the AYUSH Ministry by combining Ayurveda, Yoga, Unani, Homeopathy,

Naturopathy, Siddha and gave a new platform to traditional medical systems.

The

Chief Minister said that Mahayogi Guru Gorakhnath Ayush University is the first

Ayush University of Uttar Pradesh, built for complete health under the

inspiration of Prime Minister Modi. With the inauguration, the admission

process in this university will also move forward. People will get the benefit

of medical services of Ayurveda, Homeopathy, Unani, Yoga, Naturopathy, Siddha

etc. This university will also move forward as a big center of research and

development in the field of Ayush.

Yogi

said that Ayush University will also play a major role in providing employment

to farmers and youth on a large scale. Cultivation of medicinal plants through

this university will help in increasing employment. The Chief Minister said

that Ayush University will also prove to be decisive in attracting traditional

medical practices in a new form of health tourism. He expressed confidence that

Ayush University will become a new destination for health tourism.

Ayurveda's

Rasa Shastra is connected to the tradition of Navnath and 84 Siddhas: During his

address at the inauguration ceremony of Ayush University, Chief Minister Yogi

Adityanath also mentioned the mutual connection between Ayurveda and Nath sect.
