Union Minister of Ayush Sarbananda Sonowal said, “We are proud to announce the Global Ayush Investment and Innovation Summit 2022 that will bring together the country’s leading start-ups, entrepreneurs, investors, policy-makers, and other national and international stakeholders for a specially curated event on innovation and entrepreneurship to help India become a Global Ayush Destination.” Sonowal said the present market size of the Ayush sector has grown by 17 per cent per annum during 2014-2020 and that he hopes to build the success of the sector even further through these flagship events and initiatives. The ground-breaking ceremony for the WHO Global Centre for Traditional Medicine will take place on 19 April, 2022, in Jamnagar in Gujarat.
