Established in 1932 by Mahamahopadhyay Kj. Gananath Sen and inaugurated by Nobel laureate Sir C.V. Raman, Vishwanath Ayurved Mahavidyalaya and Hospital is a premier state government institution in Kolkata. Over its 90-year legacy, it has evolved into a vital hub for Ayurvedic education and holistic healthcare in West Bengal.
The institution is renowned for its Diploma in Ayurvedic Pharmacy (D.Pharm), offering 30 seats and modern facilities like a smart classroom and a dedicated drug-testing laboratory. Its clinical wing features a 20-bed hospital providing specialized treatments, most notably the Kshar-Sutra therapy for ano-rectal disorders. Patients benefit from free pathological and biochemical testing through government-partnered laboratories.
Operating from a restored 150-year-old heritage building near Sovabazar Metro, the facility blends tradition with modern updates, including solar-powered hot water systems and an elevator for patient accessibility. Affiliated with the Paschim Banga Ayurved Parishad, it remains a cornerstone for affordable, authentic Ayurvedic healing and professional training in the region.
