Unnat Bharat Abhiyan (UBA)

Ashtamgam Ayurveda Chikitsalayam and Vidyapeedham, Palakkad, has been selected under the prestigious Unnat Bharat Abhiyan (UBA), a flagship initiative of the Government of India aimed at connecting higher educational institutions with rural communities for sustainable and inclusive development.
Unnat Bharat Abhiyan envisions the holistic development of villages by leveraging the knowledge, expertise, and human resources of academic institutions. In alignment with this vision, our institution has adopted five villages—Nagalassery, Pattithara, Kappur, Chalissery, and Thirumittacode—and has been actively involved in understanding their health and lifestyle needs through extensive community-based surveys.
Our initiatives are closely aligned with the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3: Good Health and Well-being, with a strong focus on preventive healthcare, lifestyle modification, and long-term wellness through Ayurveda.
As part of these efforts, we recently conducted the Arogya Mitra Abhiyan – Jeevaneeya, a unique community outreach program that involved adopting individual families and providing them with personalized health counselling. The programme emphasized comprehensive healthcare based on Ayurvedic principles, guidance on healthy daily routines, dietary practices, and motivation to adopt an Ayurvedic way of living for longevity and disease prevention. The program was done in ward 5 of Nagalassery panchayat.
Through these initiatives, Ashtamgam Ayurveda Chikitsalayam and Vidyapeedham continues its commitment to community health, sustainable rural development, and the integration of traditional wisdom with public health goals.
