Original manifesto wording
“We will organise regular Ayush camps to provide holistic healthcare solutions rooted in Ayurveda, Yoga and other traditional practices to promote active living and vitality of elders.”
Our Assessment
The promise was to organise regular Ayush camps for elders to support holistic healthcare, active living and vitality. Official evidence shows a direct eldercare campaign: the Ministry of Ayush first said 10,000 geriatric camps were being organised from June to September 2024, and later reported that 14,692 Ayush camps were organised against the 10,000-camp target within 100 days. These camps offered free consultations, therapies and guidance using Ayurveda, Yoga, Unani, Siddha and Homoeopathy. A February 2025 MoU between the Ministry of Ayush and the Department of Social Justice and Empowerment further committed to Ayush-based interventions for geriatric healthcare, including elderly-specific training modules, treatment protocols, yoga training programs and related health-promotion activities. This is ongoing rather than fulfilled because the promise is continuing in nature and requires repeated camps and maintained eldercare delivery, not a one-time count. Budget: direct mapped allocation exists through the National Ayush Mission, with Rs 1,275 crore in BE 2025-26, Rs 780.96 crore in RE 2025-26 and Rs 1,300 crore in BE 2026-27; no separate public utilisation figure only for geriatric camps was found.
