A Message from the Principal

“Ayurveda is not just a system of medicine; it is the science of life and longevity.”
​It is a matter of great pride and privilege to welcome you to the Government Ayurvedic College & Hospital, Patna. Since our inception in 1926, this institution has stood as a beacon of traditional wisdom, dedicated to the preservation, promotion, and propagation of Ayurveda—the world’s oldest holistic healing system.
​Our mission is to bridge the gap between ancient Vedic knowledge and modern scientific temper. In today’s fast-evolving world, the relevance of Ayurveda has never been greater.

​Research & Innovation: We encourage our scholars to engage in evidence-based research to validate Ayurvedic principles for the modern era.
​To our students, I say: You are the torch bearers of this timeless heritage. Your journey here will be one of profound transformation—of the mind, body and spirit.
