Gorakhpur: Chief Minister on Tuesday announced that every district in UP will soon have a 100-bed AYUSH Health & Wellness Centre to provide comprehensive healthcare through traditional systems like Panchakarma and Ksharsutra. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Addressing the inauguration ceremony of the Mahayogi Guru Gorakhnath AYUSH University, Yogi said govt would also establish AYUSH colleges in six divisional headquarters. Yogi highlighted how traditional Indian medical systems received global attention only after 2014, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi created ministry of AYUSH, integrating Ayurveda, Yoga, Unani, Siddha, homeopathy and naturopathy under one umbrella. The CM said that the new university would not only offer quality education in all AYUSH disciplines but also become a major centre for research and development. "It will significantly boost employment by promoting medicinal plant cultivation and supporting health tourism," he said. Highlighting the link between Ayurveda and the Nath sect, the CM said 'Ras Shastra' — the science of metals and minerals in Ayurveda — traced its roots to traditions of the Navnath and 84 Siddhas, with Mahayogi Guru Gorakhnath credited for systematising it. "The university will emerge as a key destination for health tourism," said Yogi. Targeting previous govts, the CM said that India's ancient medical traditions did not receive due recognition on the global stage until 2014. Giving credit to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he said, "We are grateful to our visionary Prime Minister, who, after assuming office, gave a national platform to Ayurveda, Unani, Homeopathy, Naturopathy and Yoga by creating the Ministry of AYUSH." Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Describing President Droupadi Murmu as "an inspiration for crores of Indian women" and "a symbol of the journey from ground to summit", the CM said her life reflects how one can rise above adversity with determination and a nation-first spirit. "President Murmu embodies the journey from the grassroots to the highest constitutional post. Her life is a living example of overcoming adversity with resolve and working selflessly for the nation and the welfare of the underprivileged," Yogi said. Adityanath quoted poet Ramdhari Singh Dinkar to compare Murmu's tireless spirit to that of a true national leader. "She never sought rest, worked amidst challenges and is truly the embodiment of service, strength and sacrifice," he said. Speaking about Mahayogi Gorakhnath University, Yogi said that the institution represents an integrated model, combining allopathic, ayurvedic, nursing, paramedical, pharmacy and agriculture education. "It is not only a hub for academic learning but also research and innovation," he said.

Launch ‘One Village, One Medicinal Plant' campaign: UP Governor to farmers
1 2 Gorakhpur: Speaking at the inauguration of Mahayogi Guru Gorakhnath AYUSH University, the first AYUSH university of Uttar Pradesh, Governor Anandiben Patel called on farmers to initiate 'One Village, One Medicinal Plant' campaign to boost herbal farming and rural income. The Governor emphasized that the newly launched university would serve as a major centre for Ayurveda in Purvanchal. She encouraged farmers in villages surrounding the campus to cultivate specific medicinal plants, noting that different villages could specialize in different herbs, promoting diversity and ensuring better marketability. Such efforts, she said, would not only generate economic benefits but also contribute to the production of safe, side effect-free medicines. Stressing the importance of inclusive healthcare, the Governor called for Ayurvedic and homeopathic treatments to reach all sections of society. She proposed leveraging Anganwadi centres as distribution points for herbal remedies, with the active participation of doctors, social workers, and public representatives. "Despite advancements in modern medicine, we must ask whether every individual truly has access to healthcare," she noted. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like San José: Por qué está en boca de todos esta inteligencia artificial que hace dinero?

Healthy India must to fulfil dreamof ‘Viksit Bharat' by 2047: Prez
Gorakhpur: Emphasizing the role of traditional Indian healthcare systems and lifestyle in the country's progress, President Droupadi Murmu on Tuesday said that the dream of making India a 'vishwaguru' by 2047 can be realized only if the citizens are healthy. Inaugurating Uttar Pradesh's first AYUSH University, Mahayogi Guru Gorakhnath AYUSH University, in Gorakhpur, the President said: "Today, India's voice is being heard across the world, but every citizen must contribute to sustain that momentum. We say health is wealth. If we remain healthy, our dream of making India a Viksit Bharat and a 'vishwaguru' can be realised by 2047." She said that institutions like AYUSH university would play a crucial role in the journey by advancing education and healthcare. "People must adopt the Ayurvedic and nature-based lifestyle alongside the modern medicine. It is important to follow our age-old traditions to maintain health, even after taking conventional medicine," she said. Praising the infrastructure at the newly inaugurated university built at a cost of Rs 268 crore, Murmu said that around 100 AYUSH colleges would benefit through affiliation with it. She said the university will undertake education and research to align AYUSH practices with international standards and scientific credibility. "Special emphasis will be given on research to build trust and global acceptance of AYUSH systems," she said, thanking Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for his vision of the first such university in the state. She said, "Today we have resources and facilities, but we must use them wisely for the well-being of our bodies." Acknowledging Prime Minister Narendra Modi's role in promoting yoga and endorsing its implementation in modern life, the President said, "To empower ourselves physically and mentally, we must practice yoga. If done regularly, yoga can reduce the need for eight hours of sleep to just three hours. Yoga may not be essential for those doing hard physical work, but it is a necessity for officegoers who do not perform physical activities. " "Since 2014, the central govt and, from 2017, the Uttar Pradesh govt have established dedicated AYUSH departments to actively promote these beneficial traditional systems both in India and abroad with renewed energy," she added. She expressed confidence that Mahayogi Guru Gorakhnath AYUSH University will become a confluence of tradition and modernity and play a decisive role in enhancing the scientific credibility and global popularity of Indian traditional medicine systems. "Such institutions will help AYUSH systems gain international acceptance and strengthen India's soft power in the world," she added. Highlighting the spiritual and historical legacy of the Gorakhpur region, she said: "This land of penance, meditation, and spirituality is also the foundation of self-respect and national pride. From the 18th-century monk-led revolts to the 1857 freedom struggle, the yogis of the Nath sect from Gorakhpur have played a key role in public welfare and India's fight for independence." The President lauded 'Gita Press', which she described as a sacred institution that has kept India's spiritual roots alive for over a century. "Their publications, including editions in Odia like the 'Bhagavata Purana', have spiritually nourished millions," she said, recalling her visit to Gorakhnath Temple where she received Odia translations of 'Shiv Purana' and 'Bhagavata' as mementoes.
