Which one of the following is the latest addition to the AYUSH group of health care systems?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

The latest addition to the AYUSH group of healthcare systems is Sowa-Rigpa. While Ayurveda, Yoga, Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, and Homoeopathy were the original components, the Union Cabinet formally recognized Sowa-Rigpa by amending the 'Allocation of Business Rules' to include its development and propagation under the Ministry of AYUSH [1]. Sowa-Rigpa, commonly known as the Tibetan system of medicine, is practiced in the Himalayan regions including Ladakh, Sikkim, and Arunachal Pradesh. In 2019, the government further strengthened this inclusion by upgrading the National Research Institute of Sowa-Rigpa to a National Institute in Leh [1]. Today, the acronym AYUSH officially represents Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, Sowa-Rigpa, and Homoeopathy [2]. Reiki is not an officially recognized system under the Ministry of AYUSH framework.
