Congratulating the awardees, Modi said, “Today, I have the opportunity to give prizes to yoga seekers, those who serve yoga, and to colleagues and organizations who are promoting yoga in the world.” [caption id=“attachment_7067831” align=“alignleft” width=“380”] Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Modi also said that during all his foreign visits, he makes it a point to begin conversations on yoga with world leaders “no matter how big they are”. “There will hardly be any world leader who has not spent 5-10 minutes with me talking on yoga,” the prime minister said. Stressing on the need to develop more AYUSH centres, Modi said that the BJP government has set a target to build 12,500 AYUSH centres across the country. “Our aim is that 4,000 such AYUSH centres should be set up this year,” Modi said after inaugurating ten AYUSH centres on Friday.

हमारे देश में परंपरा ऐसी बनी है कि बड़े-बड़े नाम जो टीवी पर चमकते हों या जो नेता कहे जाते हों, उन्हीं पर डाक टिकट बनते हैं।

To provide comprehensive primary healthcare, AYUSH components have been integrated into health and wellness centres under Ayushman Bharat. “These centres will be complementing the National Health Policy, 2017 that insisted upon integration and mainstreaming of AYUSH services in conventional health care delivery system. It would be a historic beginning in mainstreaming of holistic, preventive, curative, rehabilitative and palliative AYUSH care for achieving comprehensive health care,” an official release said. The main focus of these AYUSH centres would be empowering the community for ‘self-care’ by imbibing AYUSH-based healthy food and lifestyle, social behaviour and use of medicinal plants for primary healthcare. “Provisions will also be made for diagnostics and medicines for a wide range of health problems. These services will be in addition to the currently ongoing national health programmes,” read the release. Modi also released 12 commemorative postage stamps to honour eminent scholars, practitioners and great master healers of AYUSH systems. “These commemorative postal stamps highlight the great work and acknowledge the achievements of the great master healers of AYUSH systems,” the release said.
