## ANSWER THE MINISTER OF AYUSH (SHRI SARBANANDA SONOWAL)

(a)  &  (b):  The  State/UT  wise  number  of  doctors  approved  for  deployment  under  Ayush Health & Wellness Centers and the number of Ayush doctors approved for deployment in 50 bedded integrated Ayush hospitals, upgradation of Ayush hospitals under Centrally Sponsored  Scheme  of  National  Ayush  Mission  (NAM)  are  furnished  at  Annexure-I&  II. Further, as Public Health is a state subject, the primary responsibility to fill up the posts of Ayush doctors and maintaining their status comes under the purview of respective State/UT Government.  However,  under  the  Centrally  Sponsored  Scheme  of  the  National  Ayush Mission (NAM), the components for setting up of upto 50 bedded integrated Ayush hospitals and  upgradation  of  exclusive  standalone  State  Government  Ayush  Hospitals  inter-alia  are having  provision  for  contractual  deployment  of  Ayush  doctors.  In  this  regard,  State/UT Governments  are  required  to  submit  their  proposals  through  State  Annual  Action  Plan (SAAP) as per the guidelines of the scheme.
