It did not begin with buildings or big budgets. It began with a belief. Yoga guru Baba Ramdev says the work he leads today is not just about yoga mats or herbal medicines. According to him, it is a people’s movement. A mission, he says, that aims to make India strong from within.
Not an organisation, but a national service
Speaking about his work, Baba Ramdev described the entire effort as a “service ecosystem” created for the country. He stressed that the goal is not business or branding. Instead, it is about building self-reliance through health, education, research, social work.
“This is not one institution,” he said. “It is a mission of selfless service.”

The real strength of this movement lies in people, not structures. Baba Ramdev shared that nearly 5 lakh karmayogis and over 1 crore yoga volunteers are actively working across India.
These volunteers connect directly with communities, villages, towns, and cities spreading awareness about yoga, wellness, and healthy living. With close to 1 crore touchpoints, the movement reaches people at the grassroots level often where healthcare awareness is limited.
Tradition meets modern science
Baba Ramdev made it clear that this mission does not depend only on ancient wisdom. He said modern science plays an equally important role.
More than 5,000 doctors and around 500 senior scientists are involved in the work. Together, they aim to create a balance between Ayurveda and modern medicine. The goal is to offer treatments that are effective, affordable, easy to access.
This coordination, Ramdev said, helps bring traditional Indian knowledge into today’s scientific world without losing its essence.
Building infrastructure for public health
The scale of the initiative is large. According to Baba Ramdev, over 5,000 centres are currently operating across the country. These centres focus on yoga, Ayurveda, research, and education.
Running this vast system costs nearly ₹5,000 crore every year. Ramdev stressed that this money is not spent for profit. Instead, it is an investment in long-term nation-building, especially in strengthening public health.
