Sri Vijaya Puram, Dec. 11: The Prime Minister has launched a nationwide campaign ‘Desh Ka Prakriti Parikshan Abhiyaan’, which aims to assess Prakriti (based on Ayurveda principles) of over one crore citizens of the country through a dedicated mobile application. Prakriti Parikshan is an Ayurvedic examination to identify a person’s natural constitution, which is a combination of physical, mental and emotional characteristics. Prakriti determine an individual’s reaction to environmental circumstances, lifestyle choices, medications and illness susceptibility, making it one of the earliest known concepts in preventive and personalized genomic medicine. A person’s natural state is referred to as their Prakriti. Every person has a fixed Prakriti that is created by the situation of Tridosha at the time of the union of the sperm and ovum inside the uterus, according to Ayurveda, which categorizes people based on their Prakriti. The increasing incidence of lifestyle diseases has become a significant public health concern and continues to be the leading cause of death worldwide. Ayurvedic concepts can be used effectively in the prevention and treatment of lifestyle disorders. This approach aligns with modern P5 medicine principles-predictive, preventive, personalised, participatory and precision medicine.
The month long Prakriti Parikshan campaign is being implemented in A & N Islands by the AYUSH Wing of DHS and National Ayush Mission through Medical Officers/Practitioners (Ayush) as Prakriti assessors. Following the assessment, participants will receive on-going Health advice aimed at promoting positive Health outcomes. Participants will pledge to adopt a healthier lifestyle and have an opportunity to be part of setting several Guinness World Records, including the largest online photo album of individuals with Prakriti certificates, the most pledges for a health campaign, and the largest video album of participants sharing a campaign message. This campaign is your chance to understand your Prakriti, adopt personalized health practices, and join a nationwide movement for wellness.
People are appealed to contact the nearest AYUSH Centres situated across the Islands to get their Prakriti (based on Ayurveda principles) assessed. Desh ka Prakriti Parikshan App can be downloaded through following links and QR Code:
