Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the Ayush Mark, a global quality certification benchmark for Ayush products and services, during the closing ceremony of the Second WHO Global Summit on Traditional Medicine at Bharat Mandapam. The mark aims to standardise and elevate the credibility of traditional Indian medicine systems on the international stage, supporting evidence-based integration into global healthcare. Modi also unveiled the My Ayush Integrated Services Portal (MAISP), a unified digital platform designed to streamline access and services across the Ayush sector.
The three-day summit (December 17-19, 2025), co-organised by the Ministry of Ayush and the World Health Organization under the theme "Restoring balance: The science and practice of health and well-being," brought together global leaders, scientists, practitioners, and policymakers to discuss research, innovation, regulation, and sustainable practices in traditional medicine. Modi addressed participants and released a WHO technical report on yoga training standards and the commemorative book "From Roots to Global Reach: 11 Years of Transformation in Ayush". He also issued a special postal stamp featuring Ashwagandha to highlight India's herbal heritage.
Additionally, the Prime Minister felicitated recipients of the Prime Minister's Awards for Outstanding Contribution to Yoga (2021-2025), honouring individuals and organisations for promoting yoga as a practice for physical, mental, and spiritual harmony. The awards underscore yoga's role in fostering a healthier society and its growing global acceptance.

Modi toured the Traditional Medicine Discovery Space exhibition, which showcased diverse knowledge systems from India and worldwide, emphasising contemporary applications and scientific validation. The summit advanced the WHO Global Traditional Medicine Strategy 2025–2034, focusing on equitable access, biodiversity conservation, and technology integration.
These initiatives reflect India's commitment to mainstreaming Ayush systems—Ayurveda, Yoga, Unani, Siddha, and Homoeopathy—through rigorous standardisation, digital empowerment, and international collaboration, positioning traditional medicine as a cornerstone of resilient, people-centric health systems.
