The herbal garden on the MGAMC campus is a living teaching resource for students of Ayurveda. Medicinal plants described in the classical texts are grown, labelled and maintained here so that students can study them in their natural form rather than only from books and dried samples.
Dravyaguna, the study of medicinal substances, requires students to recognise plants reliably and to understand which part of a plant is used, at what stage it is collected, and how it is prepared. The garden supports this practical component of the BAMS curriculum, giving students regular contact with the species they will later prescribe.
Beyond identification, the garden is used for demonstration during classes, for collection of specimens for the college herbarium and pharmacy, and as a base for student projects. Visitors to the campus are welcome to see it; arrangements can be made through the college office.
