Dr. S. P. Sardeshmukh Dean, Faculty Of Ayurveda

Dean Address

Welcome to the faculty of Ayurveda! The late Vaidya PG Nanal Dept. of Ayurveda was established on 1st December 1988.

Considering the needs of the society, the department of Ayurveda started with the course Dip. In Yoga & Ayurveda & then innovatively developed many courses such as Dip. In Ayurvedic Massage, Yoga Education, Dietetics & Lifestyle Management. Moreover, M.B.A. (Ayurveda Pharmacy), B. Pharm (Ayurveda) & Dip. in Ayurvedic Beauty Therapy have been started from July 07.

Considering the contribution made by the Vidyapeeth since its inception in the field of Ayurveda, UGC made a provision of a special grant for the development of the Dept. of Ayurveda. A historical, monumental & gigantic research project namely Ayurvediya Triskandha Kosha was initiated in 1989 through this. After eighteen years of continuous efforts, it is nearing completion now with printed versions of Lakshana Kosha & Hetu Kosha already published along with the first of its kind Ayurvedic Diagnostic Software. The Treatment Software & Aushadhi Kosha have been completed and will be raleased on 1st August, 2008.

Besides this, the department is also having an Ayurvedic Out Patient Department for general as well as Cancer patients.

Considering the globalization & scope for Ayurveda abroad, the Department of Ayurveda has made associations with institutes in UK, Austria & Germany and has started propogating Ayurveda beyond India through various courses.

I am sure that you would be able to make the best use of the available faculties, facilities and value-added inputs.

I would like to mention the views of Lokmanya Tilak regarding Education and Students, which will guide you in your journey towards excellence.

Education has been considered as a powerful instrument of change. Good Education is as pious as River Ganga. It should be reachable to all who possess the requisite merit.

Students should be knowledge seekers, should be promising, self confident and self-reliant.

I wish you a great success and a bright future !
