Crediting Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s monthly Mann Ki Baat with boosting traditional medicine, the Ministry of Ayush has launched a special edition of the Journal of Research in Ayurvedic Sciences (JRAS) focusing on the programme’s impact on the sector. Minister of Ayush Sarbananda Sonowal on April 28 launched the special edition of the journal, which is the official research publication of the Central Council for Research in Ayurvedic Sciences (CCRAS)
“Prime Minister’s Mann Ki Baat conversations have been instrumental in giving a positive trust to Ayush. With its innovative and unique interactive style of presentation, the radio program has carved out a niche for itself and has become popular among communities. The content of this special edition of the journal has taken inspiration from various thoughts of our PM on Ayush sector,” he said.
In his press conference, the Minister noted that Ayush has been mentioned in about 37 of the 99 episodes of Mann Ki Baat. The PM has used his platform to urge citizens to adopt a healthy lifestyle, practice yoga, adopt evidence-based Ayurveda, and imbibe the Ayurveda way of life into their lifestyle.
