## ANSWER (SHRI PRATAPRAO JADHAV)

(a) & (b) Public Health being a State subject, establishment of Ayush Wellness Centres and Hospital in the country including North East Delhi and North Eastern States comes under the purview of respective State Governments. However, under Centrally Sponsored Scheme of National Ayush Mission (NAM), there is a provision of financial assistance to States/UTs for upgradation  of  existing  Ayush  Dispensaries/Sub  health  centres  into  Ayush  Health  & Wellness Centres now known as Ayushman Arogya Mandir-Ayush [AAM (Ayush)] and for setting up of 50/30/10 bedded integrated Ayush hospitals. Accordingly, as per the proposals received  from  States/UTs  through  State  Annual  Action  Plans  (SAAPs),  808  units  of Ayushman Arogya Mandir-Ayush have been approved in the North Eastern States. However, no such proposal was received from the UT Government of Delhi through SAAPs. The Statewise status of approved AAM  (Ayush) in the North-Eastern States is furnished as Annexure-I.

Further,  as  per  the  proposals  received  from  States/UTs through SAAPs, 40 units of Integrated  Ayush Hospitals have been supported  in the North Eastern States. However, no such  proposal  was  received  from  the  UT  Government  of  Delhi  through  SAAPs.  The

State/UT-wise status of approved Integrated Ayush Hospitals (IAHs) along with location and budget  allocation  in  the  North-Eastern  States  is  furnished  as Annexure-II .  Since,  the implementation of Scheme comes under the purview of respective State/UT Governments, expected timeline for the implementation of the proposals lies with the State/UT Governments.

(c) Public health being a State subject, assessment of the demand and need for Ayush services in the North East Delhi comes under the purview of UT Government of Delhi.

(d)  Public  Health  being  a  State  subject,  the  primary  responsibility  to  promote  AYUSH systems  of  medicine  across  the  country,  including  economically  weaker  sections  in  urban areas  of  North  East  Delhi  comes  under  the  purview  of  respective  State/UT  Governments. However, under NAM, Ministry of Ayush is supporting the efforts of State/ UT Governments for overall development & promotion of Ayush systems in the country by providing financial assistance to them under different activities as per the proposals received in their SAAPs with in the existing provisions of NAM guideline. NAM inter-alia has provisions for the following major activities:

(i)  Operationalization  of  Ayush  Health  &  Wellness  Centres  by  upgrading  existing Ayush  dispensaries  and  sub  health  centres,  now  renamed  as  Ayushman  Arogya Mandir (Ayush)

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