Naik said there are about 515 AYUSH institutions in the country where at least 27,000 students enrol every year. Even foreign students are keen to take up the course, he added.
AYUSH facilities are available from Primary Health Centres to AIIMS. "Our aim is to use AYUSH in primary health care and implement it in national health schemes to prevent and control non-communicable diseases," Naik said.
The minister said that India will sign MoUs on bilateral ties with other countries to set up Indian alternative medicine centres. So far, Hungary, Bangladesh and Nepal have signed MoUs.
Art of Living founder, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, said a survey conducted by Kerala's sports ministry found that of 100 students in a school, only one is physically fit. This can be addressed through AYUSH, and added that since India is becoming the diabetes capital of the world, AYUSH is the only way to good health.
Over 150 stalls have opened at the expo. Products such as honey, amla juice and over-the-counter drugs are being sold.
Simple yoga asanas for various ailments are also taught by experts at the stall put up by the Central Council for Research in Yoga.
