In order to extend the benefits of Ayurveda to residents of Cantonments, including families of Armed Forces personnel and civilians, Ayurveda centres in 35 out of 37 Cantonment Board Hospitals and 12 Military Hospitals of Armed Forces Medical Services have been made operational.  This initiative would further popularize the traditional Indian Ayurveda system of medicines to a larger community.

Ministry of Defence and Ministry of AYUSH have worked in collaboration to make these Ayurveda Centers functional. In order to support this initiative, Ministry of AYUSH has provided Ayurveda Doctors to be deployed at these Ayurveda Centers.

As on date, Ayurveda centres have been made operational in 35 out of 37 Cantonment Board Hospitals and 12 Military Hospitals of Armed Forces Medical Services.  Remaining two Ayurveda Centers of Cantonment Boards at Shahjahanpur and Jabalpur are planned to be operationalized soon.
