Question

Accepted Answer

Yes, I agree with the statement. The Government of India has taken vital steps to revive and popularize Indian System of Medicine (ISM).

Justification:
1. Ministry of AYUSH was established to promote traditional medicine systems
2. National AYUSH Mission was launched to provide affordable and accessible AYUSH services
3. AYUSH educational institutions have been expanded across the country
4. Research and development in traditional medicine has been increased
5. Integration of AYUSH with modern healthcare system has been promoted

These steps have helped in reviving traditional Indian medicine systems like Ayurveda, Yoga, Unani, Siddha, and Homeopathy. The government has also promoted research in these systems and established dedicated institutions for their development. This has not only preserved traditional knowledge but also made it accessible to a larger population, contributing to human capital formation through improved healthcare.
