Prime Minister Narendra Modi virtually laid the foundation stone for the 100-bed Central Research Institute of Yoga and Naturopathy (CRIYN) in Raipur from the All India Institute of Ayurveda in New Delhi on National Ayurveda Day.
Speaking on the occasion, Prime Minister Modi stated, “The more healthy the people of the country are, the faster the progress of the country will be.”
He highlighted that the number of people from around the world seeking yoga and panchakarma treatments in India is expected to rise significantly in the future. He affirmed that the Government of India is working with sensitivity to improve health care.
The Central Research Institute of Yoga and Naturopathy is being established under the Central Council of Research in Yoga and Naturopathy (CCRYN).
The institute is set to be completed within 24 months at an estimated cost of Rs 90 crore, with the state government providing 10 acres of land for its development.
This will mark Chhattisgarh’s first yoga and naturopathy research center and hospital, offering treatment facilities for non-communicable diseases including obesity, prediabetes, metabolic syndrome, and arthritis.
The research center will have outpatient and administrative blocks, inpatient wards, staff quarters, a yoga hall, a diet centre, massage and physiotherapy sections, as well as dedicated research facilities.
It will also conduct training certification courses in spa and wellness therapy, alongside fellowship courses in research.
The opening of this institute is expected to enhance knowledge regarding the benefits of yoga and naturopathy.
Health Minister Shyam Bihari Jaiswal stated “India is constantly moving forward by preserving its old methods. Today, on the occasion of Dhanteras, the gift that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has given to the state in the form of the Central Yoga and Naturopathy Research Institute will be remembered by us and our future generations. The establishment of this research center will create self-employment opportunities for the youth, enabling them to receive training and promote entrepreneurship. India has always been a leader in yoga and Ayurveda, and the opening of such research centers will further enhance this tradition. Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai is committed to the comprehensive development of Chhattisgarh, with the expansion of health facilities being a top priority.”
The event at DDU Auditorium in Raipur was attended by MP Brijmohan Agrawal, MLAs Purandar Mishra Guru Khushwant Saheb, and Motilal Sahu, along with officials from the AYUSH department and students from the Ayurveda college.
