I Dr. Sampada S. Sant, welcome you to R.A. Podar Ayurved Medical College (Ayu) & M A Podar Hospital, Worli, Mumbai.

This is a premiere State Government Institute, established in the year 1941 by philanthropist Shri Anandilal Podar and handed over to the erstwhile Government of Bombay.

As Dean of this Institute, I along with my entire team of experienced and well trained teaching faculty, clinicians and supportive college and hospital staff are striving to impart quality education in Ayurveda to Undergraduate, Post graduate and PhD students and render quality Ayurved healthcare services to the public.

The rapid urbanization has significantly altered the diet and lifestyle patterns of people resulting in a rise in incidence of non-communicable, lifestyle related disorders like Diabetes, Obesity, Hypertension, Cardiac diseases, metabolic disorders and immunological disorders.

Ayurved, with its holistic approach to health promotion and disease prevention and management, offers a ray of hope to the entire humanity.
