Rewari to get 5 new AYUSH dispensaries to expand rural healthcare
AYUSH Dispensaries Approved
Rewari: Rewari district has received approval for the establishment of five new AYUSH dispensaries in the villages of Lisan, Karawara Manakpur, Rohrai, Jaisinghpura, and Jhabua, in a move aimed at expanding access to traditional healthcare services across rural areas.
Each dispensary will be constructed at an estimated cost of Rs 60 lakh, taking the total project outlay to Rs 3 crore. The initiative is expected to benefit not only residents of these villages but also people living in nearby hamlets and smaller settlements by improving access to primary healthcare services closer to their homes.
The proposals for the dispenseries were submitted by the respective gram panchayats and subsequently assessed by the concerned department. Feasibility studies confirmed that no AYUSH dispensary exists within an 8-kilometre radius of the selected locations, which became a key factor in securing government approval, reports Amar Ujala.

The development follows a broader decision by the state government to establish 26 new AYUSH dispensaries across five districts, with Rewari being one of the beneficiaries. At present, the district has 18 operational AYUSH centres. However, several of these facilities are functioning with limited staff, particularly due to a shortage of pharmacists, as only nine centres currently have full-time pharmacist support.
Officials stated that each new dispensary will require a minimum built-up area of 512 square feet, which will be arranged by the respective gram panchayats. These facilities will include outpatient departments (OPD), medicine distribution units, and designated consultation spaces for doctors to ensure smooth service delivery.
The dispensaries will provide treatment through Ayurveda, Yoga, Unani, Siddha, and Homeopathy, offering affordable and low-risk healthcare options. In the long term, these centres are expected to be upgraded into Health and Wellness Centres, focusing on preventive care, wellness promotion, and community health awareness.
