Earlier, Ayurveda Day was celebrated on Dhanvantari Jayanti (Dhanteras), the date of which is not fixed.

The decision to assign a fixed date marks a historic shift, an Ayush ministry statement said. Union Ayush minister Prataprao Jadhav, in the statement, said, "Ayurveda is not just a healthcare system, it is a science of life rooted in the principle of harmony between the individual and the environment."
