Ministry of Ayush is organizing a traditional healing fair in Shegaon, Maharashtra's Buldhana from February 25–28, 2026, when the four-day National Arogya Fair 2026 opens to the public. The Ministry of Ayush and the All India Ayurvedic Congress are putting up the exhibition, which will be opened by President Droupadi Murmu at Visava Maidan of Sant Gajanan Maharaj Sansthan.

The first event is expected to be attended by the Governor of Maharashtra, Union Ayush Minister Prataprao Jadhav, and other high-ranking state officials. People will be able to get free health exams and medicines from a number of ancient systems, such as Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, Sowa-Rigpa, and Homoeopathy, over the course of four days.

These are medical systems that have been used in India and the Himalayas for hundreds of years. Ayurveda, for instance, stresses balancing the body through diet, herbs, and way of life. Yoga and naturopathy focus on natural routines, exercise, breathing, sunlight, and water therapy. Unani and Siddha use plant- and mineral-based formulae, while homoeopathy uses tiny amounts of ingredients to help the body repair itself.

Researchers in public health agree that preventive healthcare, or actions done to avoid getting sick before it happens, is crucial for lowering the long-term burden of disease. Government data indicates that individuals in India are increasingly funding their own health care. In that situation, a free, large-scale platform that offers consultations and increases knowledge about diet, daily routines, and natural remedies is guaranteed to get a lot of attention.

There will be subject exhibitions, professional talks, yoga demonstrations, and live treatment booths during the event. Ayush pharmaceutical and wellness companies with a favourable reputation will talk about quality standards and new research. At the same time, a medicinal plant expo will teach people about simple home remedies for common illnesses. The fair's focus on the well-being of farmers is one of its best qualities.

Prataprao Jadhav, the Union Minister, has asked farmers to come to a special meeting called "Ayurvedic Farming, Production, and Marketing" on February 27 at 3 p.m. The programme will teach farmers how to grow trees and crops together, which is called agroforestry, and how to grow therapeutic plants to add to their regular crops. Officials believe that farmers will get professional help in processing, adding value, and selling their goods.

Value addition is the process of cleaning, drying, grading, or packaging a crop effectively before selling it so that it is worth more on the market. The idea is to help farmers get a steady, well-paying job while simultaneously improving the supply chain for herbal raw materials used in traditional medicine. The National Arogya Fair 2026 is asking people from Maharashtra and nearby states to take part. The fair has two main goals: to improve access to health care and to improve the lives of those living in rural areas.

The fair is part of a wider national initiative to bring together preventive care, community awareness, and agricultural opportunities on one platform. Shegaon is getting ready to host what could be the largest free traditional health gathering in the country.
