The state government of Andhra Pradesh has announced a proposal to earmark ₹257 crore for the expansion of AYUSH (Ayurveda, Yoga & Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, and Homeopathy) infrastructure.
The plan, presented by the health department, seeks to upgrade existing AYUSH centers and establish new facilities in underserved districts, thereby improving access to traditional medical services.
