New Delhi: The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) will create a new department dedicated to standardising Ayush practices. This initiative, announced by the Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution Ministry, aims to enhance the safety, efficacy, and quality of Ayush products. The department will cover Ayurveda, Yoga, Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, Sowa-Rigpa, and Homeopathy.
