"The Government of India has approved the proposal for a directorate of AYUSH (Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homeopathy in Meghalaya," Hek said on Thursday.

He said the state''s health department has already written to the revenue department and the department of urban affairs requesting them for allotment of land for creation of necessary infrastructure.

The minister said the Union AYUSH ministry has also agreed in principle to sanction 13 AYUSH health and wellness centres for Meghalaya proposed during 2019-20.

"The state government has also proposed another 22 health and wellness centres for the current financial year 2020-21," he said.

The Union ministry had earlier this year decided to set up over 12,500 AYUSH Health and Wellness Centres across the country.

We will have standalone centres based on the availability of land."Shillong, Jul 31 (PTI) The Centre has approved the Meghalaya government''s proposal for setting up an AYUSH directorate in the state, a minister said.
