Govt Working On Setting Up Nationwide ‘AYUSH Grid’

The prime minister had pitched for connecting technology with tradition in the practice of AYUSH.

The AYUSH Ministry is in the process of setting up a nationwide 'AYUSH Grid' connecting all hospitals and laboratories so that case histories and observations can be collated to generate evidence about the efficacy of the traditional systems of medicine, including Ayurveda, sources said.

The move is in line with the government's digital India motto. Prime Minister Narendra Modi too had last week at a Yoga Awards ceremony emphasised on the need to create a homogenous system by setting up 'AYUSH Grid' on the lines of one nation, one tax and one nation, one mobility card.
