Testimonials

"

With deep respect and heartfelt gratitude, I express my sincere appreciation to my respected teachers and the Department of Rasashastra and Bhaishajya Kalpana at Bharati Vidyapeeth (Deemed to be University) College of Ayurveda. My postgraduate journey here was a transformative phase that shaped not only my academic knowledge but also my ethical values, scientific temperament, and professional confidence.
A defining highlight of my MD training was my experimental animal study. Undertaking this project was initially challenging, yet the constant encouragement, technical guidance, and moral support from my teachers gave me the confidence to pursue it with dedication and integrity. From study design, ethical approval, and experimental execution to data interpretation, my mentors stood firmly by me, enabling me to successfully complete the project with scientific rigor. This experience deeply strengthened my research mindset and instilled in me a sense of responsibility towards ethical and evidence-based Ayurvedic research.
The department offered excellent infrastructure and research-oriented facilities, including a well-equipped quality control laboratory and dedicated pharmaceutical sections for processing and incineration of metals and minerals. Interactive teaching methods, academic discussions, and educational field visits, along with one-month hands-on training at a GMP-certified pharmacy, provided valuable practical exposure and strengthened our understanding of contemporary practices.
An open academic environment that encouraged freedom of expression and critical thinking was a unique strength of the department. Opportunities to teach undergraduate students helped refine my communication and teaching skills.
I remain deeply indebted to my teachers for their unwavering guidance and inspiration. I feel proud to be an alumnus of the Department of Rasashastra and Bhaishajya Kalpana, Bharati Vidyapeeth College of Ayurveda, which laid a strong research-oriented foundation for my professional journey and continues to guide my work through Vriddhi Garbhasanskar.

It gives me immense pleasure to talk about my teachers at Rasashastra and Bhaishajya kalpana of BVDUCOA. I owe my entire research approach and mindset to them. They put in all their efforts to inculcate values of work ethics, discipline, and research orientation within us. We had a spacious department which was designed to suit out post graduate curricular activities. There were specific sections; viz quality control lab with well-equipped instruments for analysis of physicochemical parameters of raw herbs and processed formulations..A separate section for incineration of metals and metalloids was provided. The teaching techniques were very engaging and thought provoking. Power point presentations were helpful tool as many topics were made simpler and interesting. Field trips were arranged to different pharmacies. Besides, a one month- hands on training in a GMP accredited pharmacy provided us a platform to visualize and experience current practices. Conducting demonstrations of drug processing for undergraduates helped us acquire teaching skills as a futuristic career approach. Freedom of expression was a distinct feature given by our teachers which helped us grow. I am totally indebted to my wonderful teachers and proud to be a part of RSBKV.
