Gujarat Ayurved University located in Jamnagar city, situated on the western part of Gujarat state is a unique and the only statutory University of its kind.  It offers advanced courses on all aspects of Ayurveda. Taking into consideration the rapid increase of world wide interest and demand for the plant based drugs in the last few decades, which has lead to large scale commercial production of both classical and proprietary herbal formulations in the country; it has introduced several courses designed in the context of the present situation. The offered courses cover different aspects of Ayurveda and allied traditional systems of medicine.

Introduction of these multidisciplinary courses in the present times is considered most opportune, since the global demand for herbal preparations is growing in an exponential manner. India has a rich treasure of medicinal plants and can become the main source for supply of herbal drugs to the whole world but lack of or inadequate quality standards of raw material has been one of the major impediments in wider acceptance of Indian herbal drugs. Various international agencies like World Health Organization have been emphasizing the importance and need of standardization of herbal raw materials. Skilled technical manpower possessing the knowledge on all aspects of medicinal plants is needed for this. Sensing its urgency, an effort was made to fulfill this requirement by establishing two institutes- namely Institute for Ayurvedic Pharmaceutical Sciences (IAPS) and Institute for Ayurvedic Medicinal Plant Sciences (IAMPS) in the year 1999-2000. The former offered D.Pharm (Ayu), B.Pharm (Ayu) and M.Pharm (Ayu); M.Sc. (Medicinal plants) degree was offered by IAMPS till 2005.

In conformity with the convention that IPGT and RA should be the only agency to impart PG education in the University - PG courses offered by IAPS and IAMPS were transferred to IPGT and RA. To take care of this necessity PGT-Self Finance Course Cell was established in 2006. M. Pharm (Ayu) course was merged with the Department of RSBK and IAMPS was merged with Department of Dravyaguna of IPGT and RA to take up the responsibility of offering M.Sc (Medicinal Plants) course.

Some of our alumni’s have joined research institutes as research Associates, while many others have joined reputed Ayurvedic Industries of India. It is gratifying to note that the courses have been recognized by various, well-known government organizations like ICMR (Indian Council of Medical Research) CCRAS (Central Council for Research in Ayurveda and Siddha) etc. for their fellowship award and staff recruitment.
