Ayush Minister Prataprao Jadhav highlighted Ayush as not just a medical system but a movement for social change and global health leadership at the ‘National Arogya Fair 2026’ in Maharashtra. Stressing Ayush’s role in tackling lifestyle disorders, he recommended disciplined routines like early sleep to combat conditions such as diabetes and hypertension. Jadhav advocated for preventive healthcare through simple Ayurvedic home remedies like “Aaji Bai ka Batua” for village-level self-care.
The Minister underscored the need for structured market linkages and quality standards to position India as a reliable global supplier of medicinal plant raw material. The Ministry’s pavilion at the fair showcased research achievements, academic programs, and public health initiatives across Ayush systems. Various Information, Education, and Communication materials were distributed to raise awareness about flagship schemes and research outcomes.
The event featured interactive displays on medicinal plants and herbal products, attracting visitors of all ages and backgrounds. Qualified practitioners from various traditional medicine systems offered free medical consultations. An exclusive segment promoted region-specific dietary practices based on Ayush principles, emphasizing the crucial role of diet in preventive healthcare and overall well-being. The fair served as a vital platform for engaging with citizens, healthcare providers, farmers, and industry stakeholders.
