\"Ayurveda-Future<\/p>\n

UPSC Syllabus Topic:<\/strong> GS Paper 2-<\/strong>Issues relating to development and management of Social Sector\/Services relating to Health.<\/p>\n

Context<\/strong>: India fixed Ayurveda Day on 23 September via a 23 March 2025 Gazette Notification. The 2025 theme\u2014\u201cAyurveda for People & Planet\u201d links wellness with sustainability.<\/p>\n

Why was Ayurveda Day 2025 fixed, and what does it signify?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Policy decision and theme: Ayurveda Day is fixed on 23 September each year.<\/strong> The theme \u201c<\/strong>Ayurveda for People & Planet\u201d<\/strong> presents Ayurveda as a timeless and progressive healthcare system, strengthened by education, research, and partnerships<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  2. Equinox symbolism and philosophy: <\/strong>The autumnal equinox<\/strong> reflects near-equal day and night. This symbolises harmony and balance<\/strong>, mirroring Ayurveda\u2019s focus on equilibrium of mind, body, and spirit<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  3. From variable date to global rhythm: <\/strong>This replaces the earlier Dhanteras-based variable date<\/strong>. A fixed, symbolic date supports global resonance<\/strong> and the ethos of \u201c<\/strong>One World, One Family.\u201d<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    What infrastructure is shaping Ayurveda\u2019<\/strong>s future in India?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
      \n
    1. Anchor institutions: AIIA (New Delhi, 2017)<\/strong>, on the AIIMS model, holds NAAC A++<\/strong>. ITRA (Jamnagar)<\/strong> is the first INI in Ayush<\/strong>, and NIA (Jaipur)<\/strong> is a Deemed-to-be University<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
    2. Recent expansion at AIIA: <\/strong>In 2024<\/strong>, AIIA added a Panchakarma hospital<\/strong>, sports medicine unit<\/strong>, Ayurvedic pharmacy<\/strong>, start-up incubation centre<\/strong>, and international guest facilities<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
    3. Standards and research ecosystem: CCRAS<\/strong> advances evidence-based research<\/strong>. PCIM&H<\/strong> sets quality benchmarks<\/strong>, creating a cohesive R&D and standards<\/strong> framework.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      How is India globalising Ayurveda?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
        \n
      1. International Cooperation Scheme outcomes: <\/strong>India has 25 country-level MoUs<\/strong> and 52 institutional MoUs<\/strong>. There are 43 Ayush Information Cells in 39 countries <\/strong>and 15 Ayush Chairs<\/strong> in leading foreign universities.<\/li>\n
      2. WHO-linked validation: ITRA, MDNIY, and CCRAS-NIIMH<\/strong> are WHO Collaborating Centres<\/strong>. This elevates standards and credibility<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
      3. Diplomacy and technology: <\/strong>The 2023 Group of Friends of Traditional Medicine<\/strong>, initiated by India, advances policy dialogue. A WHO brief on AI in Traditional Medicine<\/strong> highlighted India<\/strong>\u2019<\/strong>s pioneering AI applications in Ayush<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        What is the economic footprint, and what lies ahead?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
          \n
        1. Industry scale and growth: <\/strong>Ayush has 92,000+ MSMEs<\/strong> and a market of USD 43.4 billion (83.6 lakh crore)<\/strong>. Manufacturing grew nearly six-fold (2014\u20132020)<\/strong> and almost eight-fold by 2022<\/strong> (projections).<\/li>\n
        2. Detailed growth metrics: RIS studies<\/strong> show manufacturing rose from 721,697 crore (USD 2.85 billion) in 2014\u201315<\/strong> to 71,37,800 crore (USD 18.1 billion) in 2020<\/strong>. The services sector generated 71,66,797 crore<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
        3. Exports and recognition: <\/strong>India exports USD 1.54 billion (811,400 crore)<\/strong> in Ayush and herbal products to 150+ countries<\/strong>. Ayurveda is recognised in 30+ nations<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
        4. Outlook: Rooted in tradition<\/strong>, strengthened by science<\/strong>, and expanded through global collaboration<\/strong>, Ayurveda supports holistic, affordable, sustainable healthcare<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Question for practice:<\/strong><\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Discuss why Ayurveda Day is fixed on 23 September and how this decision supports the 2025 theme Ayurveda for People and Planet.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
