The Governing Body Meeting of Haryana State AYUSH Society, chaired by Chief Secretary Sh. Anurag Rastogi, today approved a Rs 73.02 crore State Annual Action Plan for 2025?26 under the National AYUSH Mission (NAM). This marks a significant jump from last year's Rs 45 crore allocation, aiming to expand affordable and holistic healthcare by strengthening AYUSH services across the state.

The Chief Secretary emphasized the importance of expanding mobile AYUSH units to deliver healthcare services directly to citizens' doorsteps.

The meeting was attended by Additional Chief Secretary, AYUSH Department, Sh. Sudhir Rajpal, Secretary, Health Department and Mission Director, National Health Mission, Sh. RS Dhillon, and Director General, AYUSH Department, Sh. Sanjeev Verma.

A flagship project of the action plan is the establishment of a 50-bedded Integrated AYUSH Hospital in village Lalhari Kalan, Yamunanagar, with a budget of Rs 15 crore. This hospital will provide treatments rooted in Ayurveda, Yoga, Unani, Siddha and Homoeopathy, offering a cost-effective alternative to conventional medical care. Additionally, six Panchkarma Centres will be set up across Haryana with an allocation of Rs 3.6 crore, focusing on specialized therapies for detoxification, rejuvenation, and stress relief.
