\nAs Rajya Sabha members across party lines sought more funding by the government for the Ministry of Ayush for encouraging traditional systems of medicine, the government said on Monday that it plans to set up 4,200 Ayush wellness centres in the country in FY 2019-20 across several states.

\u201cWe have received proposals from various state governments to open 50 more such integrated Ayush hospitals,\u201d Naik said while replying to the debate on working of the Ayush ministry. Highlighting the efforts of the Centre, Naik said the Modi government is trying to encourage traditional medicine systems. \u201cThe government is trying to modernise Ayush hospitals across the country and is increasing the number of doctors.
