Under NAM, as per the proposals received from State / UT Governments through their State Annual  Action  Plans  (SAAPs),  12,500  units  of  existing  Ayush  dispensaries  and  Sub-Health Centres have been approved for upgradation as AAM (Ayush) to provide holistic health care to the community through different Ayush Interventions. The State / UT-wise status of approved and functional AAM (Ayush) is furnished at Annexure .  Further, as per the proposals received from State Government of Uttarakhand through SAAPs, total 300 AAM(Ayush) including 16 in Haridwar have been approved and as reported by State all are operational.
