Pandemic made the world reminded of the virtues of Yoga and Ayurveda: Jitendra Singh

As Ayurveda encourages every individual to take this pandemic as an opportunity to improve their daily lifestyle, eating, and hygiene practices to boost their immune system, as a precautionary measure to protect themselves from this pandemic and any future health epidemics to come. Union Minister Jitendra Singh said the coronavirus pandemic has enabled people to go back to the original Indian ethos, and practices like hand washing and ‘namaste’ have come in vogue with greater vigour.

He said COVID-19 has awakened in all the importance of healthcare as a national priority and also COVID-19 made the world aware of the virtues of social distancing, cleanliness, yoga, Ayurveda, and traditional medicine.

“Now they have come to trust this much more than earlier and there is a renewed interest in yoga and Ayurveda which have always been the thrust areas for Prime Minister Narendra Modi,” said Singh the Minister of State for Personnel.
