As 2025 draws to a close, the Ministry of Ayush marks the year as a watershed moment in India’s journey toward evidence-based, people-centric and globally integrated traditional healthcare.

Ayush has emerged as one of the most trusted and widely accessed healthcare pillars at the Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj, with over 9 lakh pilgrims benefitting from its services through OPDs, mobile health units, wellness halls, and yoga sessions. 

Building on the earlier milestone of 1.21 lakh beneficiaries, Ayush scaled its presence dramatically—deploying 20 OPDs, 90+ doctors, 150 healthcare workers, and dedicated mobile units to provide round-the-clock care across the Mela grounds. 

Therapeutic yoga sessions by MDNIY continued to draw international and domestic devotees, while Ayush Convention Halls in Sectors 2, 21, and 24 educated pilgrims on preventive health and disease management. 

Special screenings were conducted for saints in major Akharas, ensuring their well-being during peak festivities. The All India Institute of Ayurveda strengthened the preventive care ecosystem by distributing 10,000 Ayush Raksha kits and organising a week-long health camp for 15,000 pilgrims. 

Adding an ecological and livelihood dimension, the National Medicinal Plants Board distributed 25,000 medicinal plants, promoting natural healing and awareness on medicinal plant cultivation. Together, these efforts reflect the Ministry of Ayush’s comprehensive vision—making the world’s largest spiritual gathering not only meaningful but healthier, safer, and more connected to India’s traditional wellness heritage.
