Chhattisgarh has achieved remarkable success in the Prakriti Parikshan Abhiyan organized under the aegis of the National Commission for Indian System of Medicine (NCISM), New Delhi. The state secured 3rd place nationwide in the strike rate target and 9th place overall in Prakriti Parikshan standards.

For this achievement, Union Minister of AYUSH (Independent Charge) Shri Pratap Rao Jadhav awarded Chhattisgarh with a certificate of appreciation and a trophy. The award was received by the state coordinator of the campaign, Dr. Sanjay Shukla, at the closing ceremony held at Jehangir Bhabha Theatre, Mumbai.

Health Minister Shyam Bihari Jaiswal also extended his congratulations, reaffirming the state government’s commitment to expanding and enhancing AYUSH-based healthcare services.

Chhattisgarh’s Strong Presence in the National Campaign
The Prakriti Parikshan Abhiyan was conducted from November 26 to December 25, 2024, during which over 1.29 crore citizens across the country underwent Prakriti testing. Chhattisgarh made a strong impact at the national level, successfully testing more than 4.45 lakh citizens.

Additionally, recognizing the importance of this initiative, over 40,000 officers and personnel of the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF), under the Ministry of Home Affairs, also underwent Prakriti testing in Chhattisgarh. This reflects the growing awareness and trust in AYUSH medicine.
