  "summary": "The Central government's Ayush Services Sector Report, released on Ayurveda Day 2026, reveals that women comprise 43% of the workforce in India's Ayush services sector, which supports 1.76 million livelihoods across healthcare, wellness, education, and allied services. The sector, encompassing Ayurveda, Yoga, Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, Sowa-Rigpa, and Homoeopathy, has seen a compound annual growth rate of 16.91% since 2022-23 and is projected to expand to between $216 billion and $318 billion by 2047. Women's representation is highest in spas and wellness resorts (exceeding 60%), followed by educational institutions (58%), day-care centres (57%), and hospitals (53%). The sector's revenue in 2024-25 was estimated at $36.92 billion, with standalone clinics generating $16.21 billion, or 43.9% of the sector's revenue, and day-care centres contributing another $10.13 billion.",
