The Ministry of Ayush has announced that the 10th Ayurveda Day will be celebrated on 23rd September 2025 at the All India Institute of Ayurveda (AIIA), Goa.

A Landmark Celebration in Goa
Goa has been chosen as the venue for the main event, underlining the state’s growing importance as a hub for wellness tourism and international health conferences. The All India Institute of Ayurveda (AIIA), Goa, a state-of-the-art facility under the Ministry of Ayush, will host the celebrations. This event is expected to attract global participation, including international delegates, researchers, and practitioners of Ayurveda.

The theme resonates with global concerns about sustainable development, climate change, and eco-friendly healthcare solutions.
Union Minister’s Vision

We are not just celebrating a tradition; we are taking Ayurveda to the world as a sustainable solution for modern healthcare challenges.”
Global Outreach and Nationwide Participation
In line with previous years, the Ministry of Ayush will organize events across all states and union territories and collaborate with Indian Missions abroad to engage international audiences. Ayurveda Day 2024 saw participation from over 150 countries, and this year aims to expand outreach further by partnering with global universities, wellness organizations, and Indian diaspora networks.
Strengthening India’s Global Leadership in Ayurveda
The celebration aligns with India’s broader diplomatic and cultural outreach initiatives, promoting Ayurveda not just as a cultural heritage but as a scientifically backed, holistic, and planet-friendly healthcare solution. The event will include knowledge-sharing sessions, wellness camps, research presentations, and collaborations with international experts to strengthen evidence-based Ayurveda research and practice.
