Govt. Ayuerveda College For Women And Children

At Govt. Ayuerveda College For Women And Children, things stay pretty busy. We are based in Poojappura, which is a well-known spot in Thiruvananthapuram. Being a government place, we handle a lot of people every single day. There are students learning about traditional medicine and there are patients coming in for checkups. You can smell the herbs and oils as soon as you walk through the gates. It is an old building with high ceilings and heavy doors. We don't have any fancy office furniture. Most of the desks are old wood. The students here work hard because the courses are not easy. You see them sitting in the hallways with their books or talking in groups. In the women and children’s sections, it is usually quite loud with babies crying or moms chatting while waiting for their turn. Kerala is a place where people really value this kind of medicine, so we get visitors from all over the city. The staff here has been around for years. We know the routines by heart. Sometimes the electricity goes out or the heavy rain makes everything damp, but the work continues. It is a place of learning and healing without any extra frills. We just do what needs to be done according to the old ways and the government rules. It is a steady life here in Poojappura and we are just part of the local scene every day.
