The ministry is promoting Ayush-based diet and lifestyle and is working in convergence with the women and child development ministry in the Poshan Abhiyaan (nutrition campaign) to realise the ultimate goal of 'Suposhit Bharat' (nourished India). The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) in convergence with the Ayush ministry has also released draft guidelines on 'Ayush Aahar', which will facilitate standardisation.
