“Field Visit”
Organized by: Pharmacognosy Department
Highlights of the visit:
As part of the mandatory curriculum for Pharmacognosy, DCP I students undertook educational visits to Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Ropevatika and Nath Ayurved, Kagal, to gain practical exposure to medicinal plants and Ayurvedic formulations. A total of 34 students, accompanied by Mr. A. D. Patil and Miss J. S. Patil, participated in these visits. At the botanical garden, students studied various medicinal plants in their natural habitat, focusing on their identification, morphological features, and pharmacological significance, while also understanding the importance of biodiversity conservation. During the visit to the Ayurvedic medical shop, students observed the storage, categorization, and dispensing of herbal medicines, including powders, tablets, oils, and decoctions, and learned about their therapeutic applications. These combined experiences helped students correlate theoretical pharmacognosy knowledge with real-world applications, enhanced their understanding of traditional and modern medicine, and fostered a deeper appreciation for the role of plant-based drugs in healthcare.
