India’s first Integrated Ayush Wellness Centre is coming up on the outskirts of Guwahati.
Ayush Minister Sarbananda Sonowal on January 12 laid the foundation of this centre at Azara on the western edge of Guwahati along with that of the permanent campus of the Regional Research Institute for Homoeopathy (RRIH).
He also dedicated to the nation two projects that are a first for the northeast — a dedicated Panchakarma block at the Central Ayurveda Research Institute in Guwahati and a modern pharmacology and biochemistry lab for Ayush.

“The traditional system of medicine has been revamped under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to add strength to the healthcare delivery system in the country,” Mr. Sonowal said.
He said it was important to incorporate in the modern medical practice centuries-old healing systems such as Ayurveda, Yoga, Unani, Siddha, Homoeopathy, Naturopathy, and Sowa Rigpa because of their proven results.
