Zvm Unani Medical College

Zvm Unani Medical College has been a part of the Azam Campus for a long time. If you walk down K B Hidayatullah Road in Pune, you’ll find us in the New Modikhana area. The campus is usually full of life, with students from all the different departments walking around. Our building is dedicated to Unani medicine, so there is a lot of history and traditional learning happening within these walls. It’s not like those modern, glass-walled hospitals you see in the new parts of the city. Our place has a more lived-in feel, with old wooden desks and the smell of various herbs and preparations. The students here work hard, often staying late into the evening to finish their studies or help out in the clinics. Pune weather can be a bit unpredictable, but the campus has enough trees to keep things relatively cool during the summer months. We have a lot of staff who have been here since they were students themselves, so there is a real sense of continuity. The local shops and tea stalls around Azam Campus are where most of the talk happens between classes. We don't have a lot of fancy equipment, but we have the books and the experience that matters. It’s a busy, functional place where the focus is always on the next generation of doctors learning the old ways of healing. There is always a lot of paperwork to do and schedules to manage, but that's just how it goes here.
