President Murmu to inaugurate Uttar Pradesh's first Ayush university in Gorakhpur today
The stage is set for the inauguration of Mahayogi Guru Gorakhnath Ayush University, Uttar Pradesh's first Ayush university, by President Droupadi Murmu here on Tuesday, which will be marked as Doctors' Day. President Droupadi Murmu in Gorakhpur on Monday. (PTI PHOTO) It will be the fourth functional university in Gorakhpur district, joining the ranks of the Deen Dayal Upadhyay Gorakhpur University, Madan Mohan Malaviya University of Technology and Mahayogi Gorakhnath University. Before the establishment of this university, various regulatory bodies separately oversaw the disciplines of Ayurveda, Unani, Homeopathy, Naturopathy, Yoga, and Siddha (Ayush). Now, all 98 government and private Ayush colleges across Uttar Pradesh will come under the jurisdiction of Mahayogi Guru Gorakhnath Ayush University. Located in Pipri, Gorakhpur, the Ayush University has been constructed on 52 acres at an approved cost of ₹ 267.50 crore. It is envisioned as a premier centre for traditional medical education and treatment across Ayurveda, Unani, and Homeopathy. Once fully functional, it is expected to significantly boost medical tourism and the commercial cultivation of medicinal plants in eastern Uttar Pradesh. Chief minister Yogi Adityanath, who played a pivotal role in bringing the project to fruition, aims to promote Ayush systems of medicine and create new employment avenues for the youth and farmers. The university is expected to enhance local incomes by encouraging herb collection and medicinal plant farming. The foundation stone for the university was laid by former President Ram Nath Kovind on August 28, 2021. Chief minister Yogi Adityanath inaugurated the Ayush OPD on February 15, 2023. Recently, evening OPD sessions have also commenced, serving around 300 patients daily. Following the official inauguration, IPD (In-Patient Department) and Operation Theatre (OT) services will be made available. A 28-cottage Panchakarma unit is also ready to offer specialised therapy services. Meanwhile, plans are underway for a fifth university in Gorakhpur — a Forestry University, as announced by chief minister Yogi Adityanath. Land identification, syllabus design, and construction processes for the same are currently in progress.

President Murmu to inaugurate Mahayogi Guru Gorakhnath AYUSH University in Gorakhpur on July 1
ANI Image GORAKHPUR: President Draupadi Murmu will inaugurate the Mahayogi Guru Gorakhnath AYUSH University in Gorakhpur on July 1, according to an official statement from the Uttar Pradesh government. The university has brought all Ayurveda, Unani and Homoeopathy colleges in the state under a single regulatory framework. According to the release, the foundation of the university was laid on August 28, 2021, by then-President Ram Nath Kovind following an invitation from Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath. The university is situated on 52 acres in Pipri, Bhathat, approximately 25 kilometres from the Gorakhpur district headquarters. The university is affiliated with 98 AYUSH colleges across the state. These include 76 Ayurveda, 10 Unani and 12 Homoeopathy colleges. Before the university's formation, these colleges were overseen by separate institutions. With the establishment of Mahayogi Guru Gorakhnath AYUSH University, regulation has been brought under a single system. The university has been in operation since the 2021-22 academic session and currently conducts examinations and manages academic activities for the following programs: BAMS, MD, MS in Ayurveda; BUMS, MD, MS in Unani; and BHMS, MD in Homoeopathy. The Chief Minister initiated the concept of the state's first AYUSH university after the central government grouped Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, and Homoeopathy under the AYUSH category. Along with Ayurveda, Unani, and Homoeopathy, the university will also include disciplines like Yoga, Naturopathy, Siddha, and Sowa-Rigpa in the future. A plan is being prepared to initiate academic and treatment activities in these streams. On the same day, President Murmu will also attend the first convocation of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Gorakhpur. AIIMS Gorakhpur, whose foundation stone and inauguration were laid by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has rapidly emerged as a vital healthcare hub for people in eastern Uttar Pradesh, as well as those in neighbouring Bihar and Nepal. As per the statement, the journey to establish AIIMS in Gorakhpur dates back to a prolonged public movement led by Yogi Adityanath, which began during his tenure as a Member of Parliament in 2004. After PM Modi came to power in 2014, this longstanding demand was met, and the foundation was laid on July 22, 2016, under the Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojana. Following Yogi Adityanath's ascent to the chief ministership in 2017, construction hurdles were swiftly cleared. The outpatient department (OPD) began operations on February 24, 2019, and the hospital was formally inaugurated on December 7, 2021, by the Prime Minister. Since its inception, AIIMS Gorakhpur has played a pivotal role in transforming the healthcare landscape of eastern Uttar Pradesh. Once marred by inadequate facilities and an overburdened BRD Medical College, the region has witnessed a dramatic revival in medical infrastructure under the leadership of CM Yogi. Today, the Gorakhpur and Basti divisions boast seven medical colleges -- five government-run (Gorakhpur, Deoria, Kushinagar, Basti, Siddharthnagar), one PPP model in Maharajganj, and one private college under Mahayogi Gorakhnath University. The addition of AIIMS, with world-class and super-speciality care, marks a turning point. What was once known for healthcare deficiencies has now emerged as a medical hub, owing to the focused efforts of the Yogi government and the Centre's continued investment in public health
