Swasthya Raksha
This is because alternative medicine systems like homoeopathy have come into focus, to provide high quality AYUSH facilities available to public. The programme is being implemented by the eleven institutes of the Central Council of Research in Homoeopathy (CCRH).
The Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homoeopathy (AYUSH) Ministry has undertaken an initiative on the lines of Swachh Bharat campaign to prevent and treat diseases related to poor hygiene and sanitation. Accordingly, ‘Swasthya Raksha Programme’ has been launched to promote health and health education in villages.

The programme is being implemented by the eleven institutes of the Central Council of Research in Homoeopathy (CCRH). CCRH has also designed a programme 'Homoeopathy for Healthy Child' with the aim to sensitise health workers, patients and care givers to deal with conditions such as diarrhoea, respiratory infections, dental conditions, skin conditions and others through homoeopathy.
