Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday, April 12, 2022, said India will soon launch the AYUSH mark to recognise traditional medicine products which will give the authenticity to quality AYUSH products of the country.

The Prime Minister also said that India will soon start the AYUSH visa category for those who come to the country seeking traditional ways of treatment.

AYUSH is the acronym for alternate systems of medicine — Ayurveda, Yoga & Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homoeopathy — and a separate ministry of AYUSH was formed by the BJP government to promote these systems.
