## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE (IC) OF THE MINISTRY OF AYUSH

## (SHRI PRATAPRAO JADHAV)

- (a) Ministry  of  Ayush  is  implementing  Centrally  Sponsored  Scheme  of  National  Ayush Mission (NAM) through State/UT Governments for overall development and promotion of  Ayush  systems  including  Ayurveda  and  traditional  medicines  across  the  country which also includes urban area of Delhi. Under NAM, Ministry supports the efforts of State/UT  Governments  by  providing  financial  assistance  to  them under  different activities as per the provision of NAM guidelines against their submitted State Annual Action  Plans  (SAAPs).  The  Mission inter-alia makes  provision  for  the  following activities: -

(i) Operationalization of Ayush Health and Wellness Centres now renamed as Ayushman Arogya  Mandir  (Ayush)  by  upgrading  existing  Ayush  dispensaries  and  Sub  health Centres.

(ii) Co-location of Ayush facilities at Primary Health Centres (PHCs), Community Health Centres (CHCs) and District Hospitals (DHs).

(iii) Upgradation of existing standalone Government Ayush Hospitals.

(iv)Upgradation of existing Government/Panchayat/Government aided Ayush Dispensaries/ Construction of building for existing Ayush Dispensary (Rented/ dilapidated accommodation)/ Construction of building to establish new Ayush Dispensary in the area where there are no Ayush facilities available.

(v) Setting up of 10/30/50 bedded Integrated Ayush Hospitals.

(vi)Supply of essential drugs to Government Ayush Hospitals, Government Dispensaries and Government/Government aided Teaching Institutional Ayush Hospitals.

(vii) Ayush Public Health Programmes.

(viii)  Establishment  of  new  Ayush  colleges  in  the  States  where  availability  of  Ayush teaching institutions is inadequate in Government Sector.

(ix)  Infrastructural development of Ayush Under-Graduate Institutions and Ayush PostGraduate Institutions/ add on PG/ Pharmacy /Para-Medical Courses.

As  per  the  proposals  received  from  the  State/UT  Governments  through  SAAPs under NAM, Ministry of Ayush has released an amount of Rs. 4534.28 Crores from the year 2014-15  to 2023-24. After implementation of NAM  Scheme,  the  scale  of achievement  for  development  of  Ayush  system  of  medicine  in  the  States/UTs  has increased significantly. Accordingly, budget allocation of NAM enhanced gradually from Rs.  75.28  Crore  (in  2014-15)  to  Rs.1200.00  Crore  (in  2024-25)  for  implementation  of different activities of NAM Scheme through States/UTs. Under NAM, Ministry of Ayush has approved 167 integrated Ayush hospitals from 2014-15 to 2022-23. Out of approved integrated Ayush hospitals, 46 hospitals are functional and providing treatment to public at large. Further, Ministry of Ayush has also approved 12500 Ayush Health & Wellness Centres (AHWCs) now known as Ayushman Arogya Mandir (Ayush) to be operationalized by upgrading Ayush Dispensaries and Sub Health Centres. As reported by State/UT  Governments,  12250  AHWCs  are  functional  and  providing  holistic  Ayush services at the grass root level to the community.

(b) to (f) Public Health being a State subject, establishment of new Ayush  institutes in the country including North-Eastern States, Madhya Pradesh, Jalgaon district of Maharashtra and the North-East Delhi constituency of Delhi comes under the purview of  respective State/UT Governments. However, under NAM, there is a provision of financial assistance to State/UT Governments for setting up of 50 /30 /10 bedded integrated AYUSH hospitals in the country. Accordingly, as per the proposals received through SAAPs, 167 units of integrated  Ayush  Hospitals  have  been  approved  in  different  parts  of  the  country.  The State/UT-wise, district-wise and budget-wise status of approved integrated  Ayush hospitals is furnished at Annexure.

As  per  the  provision  of  NAM  guidelines,  State/UT  Governments  are  required  to furnish  Detailed  Project  Report  (DPR),  Land  ownership  rights  and  commitment  for creation  of  regular  posts  for  proposed  hospital  for  identified  posts  while  submitting  the proposal of 10/30/50 bedded integrated AYUSH hospitals. This would facilitate State/UT for long term running of the hospital beyond  schematic  assistance from  Central Government.  Further  50  bedded  Integrated  AYUSH  Hospitals  in  the  district  should  be located  in  such  a  place  where  adequate  connectivity  is  available  and  will  function  as referral hospitals to the AYUSH Dispensaries, AHWCs and Primary Health Centres etc. The  patients  requiring  further  diagnostics  and  specialized  treatment  like  panchakarma/ marma/specialized  procedures  under  ilaj  bil-Tadbir  like  Hijama  bil  Shart  (cupping  with scarification),  Fasd  (Venesection),  Ta'liq  (Leeching)/physiotherapy  or  surgery  will  be referred to these AYUSH Hospitals.
