Modi lamented that the indifference led to foreign countries acquiring patents.
"The world now is not just content with curing diseases but there is more emphasis on wellness and preventive healthcare. The best way to ensure and promote preventive healthcare is cleanliness," he said.
"If we resolve to be clean, if we resolve not to litter or spread dirt and filth, we can save more lives than a doctor does. Cleanliness is the way ahead to make India disease free.
"Our ancestors spent their lives making innovations and turning these innovations useful for humanity.
"We must never forget that innovative spirit and continue making efforts to develop our traditional techniques and methods," Modi added.
The Prime Minister hailed Ramdev for revolutionizing yoga in the country and creating global awareness about it.
