Yoga and Ayurveda are the gifts of ancient Indian civilization to humanity and we will increase the public investment to promote Yoga and AYUSH. We will start integrated courses for Indian System of Medicine (ISM) and modern science and Ayurgenomics. We will set up institutions and launch a vigorous program to standardize and validate the Ayurvedic medicine.

A correction to the version of this claim we imported. It described a 2019 promise about "AYUSH mainstreaming" and the WHO Global Centre for Traditional Medicine. The 2019 manifesto contains no such promise — its only related commitment is to promote Yoga globally, which we track separately. The AYUSH promise is in the 2014 manifesto, and this entry is filed against the 2014 term.

The 2014 text makes four commitments: increase public investment in Yoga and AYUSH; start integrated courses for the Indian System of Medicine, modern science and Ayurgenomics; set up institutions; and "launch a vigorous program to standardize and validate the Ayurvedic medicine."

The institutional commitments were met, and visibly. A separate Ministry of Ayush was carved out of the Department of AYUSH in November 2014 — the answers this entry relies on are signed by its Minister of State (Independent Charge). The National Ayush Mission funds state Ayush infrastructure, equipment and medicines through State Annual Action Plans; in West Bengal alone ₹9,997.86 lakh of central share was allocated over five years, against which the state reported spending ₹9,009.68 lakh, and 540 Ayushman Arogya Mandir (Ayush) units have been operationalised. The All India Institute of Ayurveda was established in New Delhi; Ayush Health and Wellness Centres, renamed Ayushman Arogya Mandir (Ayush), have been operationalised across states.

The integration numbers are real and worth stating precisely. As reported to the National Health Mission's management information system on 31 December 2025, Ayush services are co-located at 13,249 health facilities: 475 district hospitals, 3,191 community health centres, 244 other facilities at or above block level, 6,302 primary health centres and 3,037 facilities above sub-centre but below block level. Uttar Pradesh (1,500), Bihar (1,384) and Odisha (1,237) account for the largest shares.

Two things temper that.

The first is whose achievement it is. Asked about integrating Ayush with allopathy and establishing Ayush wings in district and block hospitals, the ministry replied that "Public Health being State subject" this "comes under the purview of respective State/UT Governments", and described the centre's role as a strategy of co-location with costs shared between the health ministry and the Ayush ministry. Co-location is a real policy; it is also a lighter thing than the integration the manifesto described.

The second is the distribution. Kerala and Himachal Pradesh are both reported at zero co-located facilities. Kerala has the country's most developed Ayurvedic sector. A zero there is far more likely to reflect how the state reports into a central information system than an absence of Ayurvedic care — which is itself the point: the 13,249 figure measures what states report to a central MIS, not what patients receive.

On the fourth commitment — standardising and validating Ayurvedic medicine — we found nothing to report. No answer in our corpus states how many formulations were standardised, how many clinical validation studies were completed, or what came of Ayurgenomics. That was the commitment that would have distinguished this promise from an expansion of facilities, and it is the one with no published outcome.

Partly delivered: the ministry, the mission and the money exist; the science the promise named is not accounted for anywhere we can check.
