From the President’s office..

 

Mr. Ranjit Puranik,
President, Ayurvidya Prasarak Mandal

It’s a great honor to serve as President of Ayurvidya Prasarak Mandal, a Trust formed in the years 1948-49. Our start was a humble Ayurveda dispensary organized near Mukhbhatt locality in Girgaon, Mumbai. Stalwarts in Ayurveda in every era have graced their services for Ayurvidya Prasarak Mandal education and Ayurveda services. Politicians, Social reformers, leaders in diversified sectors, and scholars from multi-disciplinary sciences have been Trustees of Ayurvidya Prasarak Mandal. Late Shri T R Naravne, former Cabinet Minister in Maharashtra Government has been a central personality who instituted the campus in Sion Mumbai which was received by our Trust from Seth Ranchoddas Varjeevandas Madhavdas Sanatorium Trust and Seth Varjeevandas Madhavdas Charitable Medical Dispensary Trust through a consent Decree awarded by Hon High Court of Mumbai in 1949. Both the donor Trusts has started the activity in 1891 and 1895 on the Sion campus as a Sanatorium and Dispensary. They were convinced of the good word undertaken by Ayurvidya Prasarak Mandal, which resulted in this amalgamation of resources, and the campus, as a result, was donated to the current governing Trust and owner – Ayurvidya Prasarak Mandal.
