The programme underscores governance's broader mission—making tangible impacts on citizens' lives. It seeks to foster a heightened sense of 'Seva Bhav', promoting accountability among the workforce.

Spearheaded by Dr. Subodh Kumar and coordinated by Ms. Shipra Singh, the sessions show significant participant engagement, providing an understanding of responsibilities and contributions of all stakeholders. Discussion points included the Ministry's role in India's national goals and advancements in traditional medicine.

The programme stands out with its interactive methodology, replacing traditional lectures with dynamic discussions and collaborative exercises. Through four concise sessions, employees reflect on roles, purpose, and contributions. The focus on self-motivation and leadership stories aids participants in drawing lessons from Ayush's successful initiatives, enriching the learning experience.
