New Delhi: The first meeting of the newly constituted Consultative Committee of the Ministry of Ayush is scheduled to be held on 19th August 2025 (Tuesday).

The meeting will facilitate meaningful dialogue between the Ministry and Members of Parliament, enabling review and consultation on key initiatives and future strategies in the field of Ayush. The Committee will be chaired by Shri Prataprao Jadhav, Minister of Ayush (Independent Charge) and MoS (MoHFW).

The Government of India has constituted a separate Consultative Committee for the Ministry of Ayush on 5th May 2025, recognizing the growing relevance of Ayush systems in India’s healthcare framework.

Earlier, matters relating to the Ministry of Ayush were addressed under the Consultative Committee of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. The formation of an independent Consultative Committee for Ayush marks a significant institutional step to ensure focused parliamentary oversight and engagement with Ayush-related policies and programmes.

The formation of the independent Consultative Committee for the Ministry of Ayush is in line with the Government’s commitment to strengthening traditional systems of medicine and holistic healthcare, under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. The Prime Minister has consistently emphasized the importance of integrating Ayush systems into the national health framework and promoting India’s traditional knowledge globally.

This development is the result of the persistent efforts of the Minister of Ayush (I/C) and coordinated action by the Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs, which notified the committee earlier this year.

The Ministry looks forward to productive discussions with the Committee members aimed at furthering the integration of traditional medicine systems and promoting holistic health across the country.

Medical Dialogues had earlier reported that two significant Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) has been signed by the National Medicinal Plants Board (NMPB), Ministry of Ayush, Government of India in the presence of Union Minister of State of Ayush (Independent Charge) and Minister of State for Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Shri Prataprao Jadhav, at Nirman Bhawan, New Delhi.
