Greater Noida: General VK Singh, the minister of state for road transport and highways, on Sunday underlined the importance of alternative medicine for overall well-being. He was speaking after inaugurating the third edition of the Ayuryog Expo Arogya Fair at the India Expo Centre and Mart in Greater Noida.
“Ayurveda, yoga, unani, siddha and the homeopathy system of medicine look for the root cause of problems and not only the symptoms.

It is being organised by the Centre in association with the state government and the Export Promotion Council for Handicrafts (EPCH).

PK Pathak, special secretary in the ministry of ayush, also spoke of various guidelines issued by the government regarding the use of traditional medicine and the launch of the Ayush app during the pandemic.
