21 AYUSH Health & Wellness Centres launched in Jammu and Kashmir

Post-Harvest Management Centre for Medicinal Plants at Bhaderwah as well as 21 AYUSH Health & Wellness Centres in Jammu and Kashmir were jointly launched through a digital event on 25th September, 2020. The Post-Harvest Management Centre is expected to develop linkage with local Agro-Research Centre of Agriculture University to provide Research and Development backup in cultivation, post-harvest management and marketing including e-market support to farmers. Under Ayushman Bharat Scheme, the Ministry of AYUSH has been mandated to operationalise 12,500 Health and Wellness Centres across the country in a phased manner over a period of five years i.e. by 2023-24, by upgrading existing stand-alone AYUSH dispensaries and sub-health centres, at a total cost of Rs. 3399.35 Crore. The main focus of AYUSH interventions would be to empower masses for “self-care” on prevention of diseases through healthy lifestyle, food, Yoga and medicinal plants. Management of diseases through evidence-based approach is another component of the programme.
