AIIA holds bike rally ahead of Ayurveda Day to promote health, sustainability

The All India Institute of Ayurveda (AIIA) on Wednesday organised a bike rally in the national capital as part of the upcoming Ayurveda Day 2025 celebrations, aimed at promoting holistic health and environmental sustainability.

Participants rode from AIIA to the Ministry of Ayush, carrying flags with the Ayurveda Day logo and theme. Officials said the rally symbolised collective commitment towards preventive healthcare and ecological well-being.

“The rally reflects Ayurveda’s timeless message of balance — not only for personal health but also for harmony with the environment. Through such initiatives, we aim to inspire youth and citizens to embrace Ayurveda as a way of life,” Prof. Prajapati said.

This year’s Ayurveda Day will be observed on September 23, coinciding with the autumnal equinox. The government recently fixed the date for uniform global celebrations, underscoring Ayurveda’s core principle of balance in nature.

The Ministry of Ayush and AIIA are conducting a series of outreach programmes, awareness campaigns, and collaborative activities to integrate Ayurveda into mainstream healthcare and encourage sustainable living.
