Eight new Ayurveda-Yoga centres now serve central government employees, their families, pensioners and CGHS card holders in Delhi-NCR in a new AYUSH push of Modi government.

Seventy-one-year-old Savitri has been suffering from cervical pain and right arm stiffness for the past three years. She was treated in many private hospitals in New Delhi, but there was no relief. Then in July, during a satsang session with elderly neighbours she came to know about new Ayush day care private therapy centres for central government employees and pensioners.

She searched online and found a centre just 10 minutes from her home in northwest Delhi’s Rani Bagh. The Tulsi Ayurvedic & Yoga Centre and a handful of others are becoming a pensioners’ paradise in the capital this year. It is the newest frontier for the oldest healthcare system in India. And it is creating quite the buzz among retired government employees – with each posting the news of joining the Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS) panel on WhatsApp groups, other social media sites and through their whisper networks. For pensioners’ Panchkarma (Ayurvedic treatment) is the hot new favourite.
