Under which ministry does the All India Institute of Ayurveda function as an autonomous institution?
- A.Ministry of Health and Family Welfare
- B.Ministry of Ayush
- C.Ministry of Science and Technology
- D.Ministry of Education
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the Ministry of Ayush. The All India Institute of Ayurveda in New Delhi is an autonomous institution under that ministry, and its stated work is healthcare, education, research and innovation in Ayurveda along with building recognition for India traditional systems of medicine. Option A, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, is wrong here: that ministry runs allopathic tertiary hospitals and national health programmes, and the institute is not placed under it. Option C, the Ministry of Science and Technology, is wrong because it funds scientific research councils rather than hospitals of traditional medicine. Option D, the Ministry of Education, is wrong since the institute is not a university under the education department even though it teaches postgraduate students. Candidates should note the pairing of AIIA with Ayush, and recall that the institute marked its Foundation Day by releasing a ten-year report of its patient services.
