The celebrations for Ayurveda Day 2024, themed “Ayurved Innovation For Global Health,” were held at the High Commission of India in Bangladesh on Tuesday. As part of the event, the Indira Gandhi Cultural Centre organized lectures and exhibition stalls on Ayurveda, followed by a Sitar Sangeet performance in Dhaka.

Speaking on the occasion, the acting High Commissioner of India to Bangladesh, Pawan Badhe, emphasized the importance of collaboration and knowledge sharing between India and Bangladesh in the field of Ayurveda and other traditional medicines.
