After setting up first Ayush village at Bhowali in Nainital district, Uttarakhand government has decided to develop seven more such villages so as to promote alternative therapies in the state.
A meeting chaired by Uttarakhand Health, Family Welfare and Ayush Minister Banshidhar Bhagat last evening decided that seven more villages in the hilly districts of Chamoli, Tehri, Champawat, Almora, Pauri, Bageshwar and Pithoragarh would be developed as Ayush villages, an official release said here.
Auli village in Chamoli district, Koti in Tehri, Abatmount in Champawat, Binsar in Almora, Kanwashram in Pauri, Garur in Bageshwar and Chandak village in Pithoragarh district have been identified to be developed as Ayush villages.
Bhagat said for setting up first Ayush village in Nainital district, Uttarakhand government entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Emami Limited.
He said Ayush villages would not only promote the use of alternative therapies like Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy among people but also create employment opportunities for the locals.
