## ANSWER THE MINISTER OF STATE (IC) OF THE MINISTRY OF AYUSH (SHRI PRATAPRAO JADHAV)

(a) As per the proposals received through State Annual Action Plans (SAAPs) from the State Government of Chhattisgarh under Centrally Sponsered Scheme of National Ayush Mission (NAM) from  year  2014-15  to  till  date,  Ministry  of  Ayush  has  released  an  amount  of  Rs. 139.36 crore for implementation of different approved activities.

(b) Public Health being a State subject, setting up of Ayush hospitals and Ayush dispensaries, comes under the purview of respective State/UT Governments. However, under NAM, there is  provision  of  financial  assistance  to  States/UTs  including  Chhattisgarh  for  setting  up  of 50/30/10 bedded integrated Ayush hospitals and establishment of new Ayush dispensaries in the  area  where  there  are  no  Ayush  facilities  available.  Accordingly,  as  per  the  proposals received  from  State  Government  of  Chhattisgarh  through  SAAPs,  13  units  of  Integrated Ayush Hospitals and 6 units of Ayush Dispensaries have been approved for establishment.

(c)  Ayush  Gram  is  a  concept  wherein  villages  are  selected  for  adoption  of  principles  and practice of Ayush way of life and interventions of health care. As per NAM guideline, there is a provision of financial assistance of Rs. 3.0 lakhs per unit covering 2000-3000 population in 2-3 villages in a block.  As per the proposals received by the States/UTs through SAAPs, 1494 number of Ayush Gram units has been supported under Ayush Gram in the country from year 2014-15 to 2024-25 but district-wise data is not being maintained in the Ministry. Further, as reported by State Government of Chhattisgarh three villages of Durg constituency have  been  approved  under  Ayush  Gram  unit  in  SAAP  2024-25  as  proposed  by  State Government of Chhattisgarh. The State/UT-wise status of approved Ayush grams is furnished at Annexure .
