Union Minister of State for Ayush Prataprao Jadhav on Tuesday, 19 May launched the Ayush Anudan Portal in New Delhi, a centralised digital platform designed to streamline the submission, processing, approval, and monitoring of funding proposals under various Central sector schemes of the Ministry of Ayush. The portal has been developed under the ministry's Ayush Grid initiative.
What the Portal Does
The Ayush Anudan Portal enables organisations and institutions to submit funding proposals entirely online through a structured, user-friendly interface, replacing the earlier manual, paper-based system. A scheme-wise application management system allows proposals to be categorised, processed, and monitored according to the specific requirements of different Central Sector Schemes.
A real-time application-tracking mechanism lets both applicants and officials monitor proposal status at every stage of processing, enhancing transparency across the grant lifecycle.
Integration with NGO Darpan
The platform is integrated with the NGO Darpan Portal, facilitating seamless authentication and verification of applicant organisations. According to the official statement, this integration is expected to make the validation process faster, automated, and error-free, while strengthening institutional credibility.
What the Minister Said
Highlighting the vision behind the initiative, Jadhav said, “Inspired by the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi on ‘Ease of Doing Business’ and ‘Ease of Living’, the Ayush Anudan Portal has been developed as a comprehensive digital platform.”
He added, “The primary objective of this portal is to ensure 100 per cent transparency, efficiency, accountability, and easy accessibility in the grant management process.” Jadhav also underlined the portal’s role in advancing the government’s vision of paperless governance.
Ayush Grid: The Broader Digital Push
The Ayush Grid initiative, described by the ministry as a digital ecosystem for the Ayush sector, is ABDM-compliant and already spans multiple domains including education, research, healthcare services, medicinal plant administration, drug regulation, capacity building, and global outreach. The Anudan Portal is the latest addition to this expanding digital infrastructure.
Officials Present
The launch event was attended by Ayush Secretary Rajesh Kotecha, Joint Secretaries Kavita Jain, Alarmelmangai D., and Monalisa Dash, along with senior officials of the Ministry of Ayush. With the portal now live, the ministry is expected to progressively migrate all grant management workflows to the digital platform.
Point of View
Not a policy shift — but process upgrades in grant management matter more than they get credit for. Paper-based proposal systems are a well-documented source of delay and discretion in Central scheme disbursements. The NGO Darpan integration is a meaningful safeguard, provided the ministry enforces it rigorously rather than treating it as a checkbox. The broader Ayush Grid now covers nearly every vertical of the sector; the question is whether adoption by smaller institutions and rural practitioners keeps pace with the infrastructure being built for them.
