The state-of-the-art facility aims to promote overall health and wellness, leveraging the expertise of the All India Institute of Ayurveda.
This initiative is part of a broader effort by the Supreme Court, in cooperation with the AIIA, to establish holistic and integrated wellness centers. Similar to other AIIA centers located at various prestigious institutions like LABSNA and Safdarjung, the Supreme Court’s Ayush center is a testament to the judiciary’s commitment to the health and well-being of its members.
