President's Message

Dr. Sangamesh Hiremath

President,
Agastya Ayurveda Medical College & Hospital, Koppal

Since its founding eight years ago, Agastya Ayurveda Hospital Koppal has been a proponent of and active participant in the modernisation of ancient medical practices. We have given thousands of followers the opportunity to spread the word of Ayurveda on many levels, since we are an institution that is entirely supportive of both formal education and professional exposure.

We are distinct because we strictly adhere to our commitment to providing high-quality life-skills education together with formal schooling — bridging the wisdom of tradition with the rigour of modern medicine.

The Agastya Ayurveda Medical College, run by the Relief Foundation for Health and Rural Development, is one of the top colleges for undergraduate Ayurveda programmes. Our BAMS curriculum is carefully designed to nurture compassionate clinicians who understand the classical texts as deeply as they understand their patients.

We remain committed to the vision of making Ayurveda accessible to every community in the region — from the bustling outpatient wards of our hospital to the classrooms where tomorrow's practitioners are trained. It is a privilege to lead an institution grounded in service, scholarship and the timeless science of life.

Dr. Sangamesh Hiremath
