Medicinal plants form an integral cornerstone of traditional healthcare systems, especially within Ayurveda, which relies extensively on chemical-free, plant-based formulations. In response to the global surge in demand for organic and safe cosmetic alternatives, our institution maintains a comprehensive **Herbal Garden** on campus. The facility safely protects and houses approximately **50 distinct botanical varieties cultivated across 200 organized, highly accessible tubs**. This garden serves as a vibrant, functional living laboratory, bridging academic biological research with direct medical support channels.
