Shimla (Himachal Pradesh) [India], September 21 (ANI): The Department of AYUSH, Government of Himachal Pradesh, will celebrate Ayurveda Day on September 23 across the state. A series of activities, including outreach health camps, awareness lectures, and public sensitisation programmes will be organised in different districts to spread awareness about the benefits of Ayurveda and other traditional systems of medicine, said a release
The highlight of the celebration will be a one-day conclave, "Ayur Manthan: Ayush in Himachal - A Roadmap for Sustainable Growth", to be held in Shimla. The conclave will be chaired by the AYUSH Minister, Himachal Pradesh, Yadvinder Goma and will bring together senior government officials, subject experts, industry representatives, and community stakeholders.
