The Department of Dravyaguna is pivotal, owing to the fact that one of the main tools of treatment is dealt with in this department. The division has been aesthetically designed with charts and models placed all over, with the purpose of repeated viewing and reinforced learning. The knowledge of the branch aids in identification of dried and fresh plant species, along with their properties and therapeutic uses. The department is staffed with experts who are well-versed in the field.
Vision
The department envisions developing a folklore research facility in the institute, in collaboration with staff members and alumni. The knowledge of therapeutic use of single drugs from various sources would be pooled to create a larger database, which would then be tested and validated scientifically — providing growth opportunities for graduates, with the results devising overall development of Ayurvedic science.
Mission
The Department of Dravyaguna is pledged to enable students to identify plant species and use them therapeutically to cure disease, thus reducing the burden on patients, and to be versatile in clinical practice by switching to alternative drugs in the absence of a particular drug.
