New Delhi, Nov 26 (PTI) A campaign launched by the Ayush ministry with the aim of empowering citizens to understand their unique "Ayurvedic Prakriti" (mind-body constitution) and adopt personalised, preventive health practices has already reached 6,828 participants.
    According to the ministry, 6,828 participants have completed their "Prakriti Parikshan" (assessment), while 11,608 have pledged to adopt Ayurvedic principles for better health, marking a promising start to this nationwide movement.

Every individual who takes part in the Prakriti Parikshan and embraces a personalised health approach is contributing to building a healthier India. This is just the beginning and together, we will transform the nation's health for generations to come."
    The "Desh Ka Prakriti Parikshan Abhiyan" aims at providing citizens with tailored health insights based on their "prakriti", facilitating the prevention of diseases and fostering holistic well-being.
    The campaign also seeks to break several Guinness World Records, including for the largest online photo album of "Prakriti" certificates and the most pledges for a health campaign, further amplifying its impact.
