Samhita, Siddhanta and Sanskrit department aims at imparting the knowledge of Samhita (classical texts) such as Charaka Samhita, Ashtanga Hridaya etc. 

Samhita, Siddhanta and Sanskrit department emerges as the root through which the other branches of science evolve.

• To explore the Samhitas in a systematic and scientific manner.
• To implement the basic principles and the knowledge of Samhita in clinical practice.
• To encourage and entitle the students to learn, understand, practice and propagate Ayurveda.
