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

(a) Public health being a State subject constitution of a separate AYUSH Ministry in States comes under the purview of the respective State Government. However, 03 States (Rajasthan, Uttar  Pradesh  and  Uttarakhand)  have  reported  that  a  separate  AYUSH  Ministry  has  been constituted  in  their  States.  The  States  of  Andhra  Pradesh,  Assam,  Arunachal  Pradesh, Chhattisgarh,  Gujarat,  Goa,  Karnataka,  Maharashtra,  Punjab,  Sikkim,  Telangana,  UT  of Jammu & Kashmir, UT of Andaman & Nicobar Islands and Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi reported that they have not constituted separate AYUSH Ministry.

(b)  to  (d)  The  Ministry  of  Ayush  is  implementing  the  Centrally  Sponsored  Scheme  of  the National AYUSH Mission (NAM) through States/UT Governments and providing financial assistance to them as per the proposals received in their respective State Annual Action Plans (SAAPs) and as per the NAM guidelines. The State wise details of the budget allocated to the States by the Ministry of Ayush under the NAM during the last three years and the amount spent  by  States/UTs  out  of  the  allocated  budget  are  furnished  in Annexure .  Some  of  the States have reported the expenditure of a substantial amount against the grant-in-aid released under NAM during the last 03 years. However, many of the States/UTs have faced problems in the implementation of the approved activities on the ground due to the Covid-19 Pandemic and accordingly they were unable to utilize some amount of grant-in-aid released.
