Mishra (National Vice President, World Hindi Council), Dr. D.C. Jain, Shri Shailesh Vats, and others.

Professor Sandhya Vatsyan, Chairperson of the Educational Wing of the World Hindi Council and Professor at Delhi University, expressed gratitude to all the distinguished guests and attendees.

She concluded by thanking Dr. Bipin Kumar and all the participants for their contributions.

Ayurvedic expert Dr. Himanshu Verma advocated for the adoption of Ayurvedic methods to prevent and treat diseases. He noted that allopathic medicine should be used only when we abandon the discipline of Ayurveda.

In the concluding session, Dr. Bipin Kumar highlighted that the root cause of diseases is the modern lifestyle, where people often prefer spicy and fast foods over sattvic (pure) food, contributing to the onset of illness. He expressed concern about the increasing stress among students and suggested that yoga could be a powerful tool to combat this issue.

Dr. Bipin Kumar concluded the conference by appreciating the efforts of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi in promoting AYUSH and thanked the Prime Minister, Union Health Minister Shri J.P.
