The AYUSH Ministry has become a known name after its record breaking success on International Yoga Day. However the ministry is in no mood to embrace the credit of its success stating that the entire praise for the event should go to the Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Ministry of External Affairs efforts for popularizing it outside India.

In a conversation with Bureaucracy Today the Secretary to AYUSH Ministry, Nilanjan Sanyal said that the AYUSH department came into the picture after December 14, 2014 when it was first declared by the Prime Minister. “It is only after that we conceived a plan and discussed it with the higher authority and the cabinet ministry about the general agreement and the main components of the celebration. The scale and the logistics part of it were both upgraded and started on a faster pace since April, 2015,”he adds.


A senior IAS officer of the 1979 Batch of the Odisha Cadre, Nilanjan Sanyal further tells Bureaucracy Today, “AYUSH is more than just Yoga. We want the world to know about the significance of its equally important components, including Ayurveda, Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homoeopathy.”

Since the ever- increasing popularity of allopathic drugs have gained impetus the components of Ayurveda, Naturopathy, Yoga, Unani, Siddha and Homeopathy has been on a down swing. Therefore, the Ministry of AYUSH has been decisively working on various ways to promote educational reforms as well upgrade its research sector.
Refurbishing the present state of the elements of AYUSH department, the Ministry has been rigorously engaged in advocating reforms in its educational and research segments. The senior IAS officer tells Bureaucracy Today, “We are working with the Law Ministry as well as Cabinet Ministers to carry out amendments in its present policy’s and have also recommended few newer ones which would enhance our performance further.”
