Vaidyan Gangadharan Nair
Chairman
Having been in the service of Ayurveda for the last six decades and proved to be a living legend following the footsteps of his Revered Guru (Teacher) Late Sri Chatharu nair, a Traditional Ayurveda vaidyan with special emphasize on Child health who was then, at the time of his living (1874-1967), adorned with the vernacular maxim, “ Daivam Paathi, Chatharu Nair Paathi “ (Half god will contribute and half Chatharu Nair), whenever a child was ailing. Such was his knowledge in child health.
Sri Gangadharan Nair underwent years of Gurukula teaching under his Guru and the deep relation as disciple turned out to become family relation, as good luck would have it, as Sri Chatharu Nair’s great grand daughter came to the life of Gangadharan Nair as his better half.
Ever since he took the reign of serving the ailing community he established an Ayurveda medicine manufacturing unit in a thatched hut, with a humble beginning, which became a modern Ayurveda medicine manufacturing unit by 2002 and gained good manufacturing certificate under the Drugs controlling Act and also got enlisted in the Approved list of pharmacies by Ministry of Health and Family planning, Govt. of India under CS (MA) Rules.
Sri Gangadharan Nair gained unlimited knowledge from his Guru in the eight branches of Ayurveda and mastery over Sanskrit, and above all Balachikilsa (Ayurveda pediatrics).
He started his career serving the ailing from the age of 16 and continues to be in mitigating the pain of the ailing, particularly many a children’s problems, thereby bringing back the smiles in the face their parents. In short, Vaidyan Gangadharan does not need any introduction as he has already been in the fourth estate as well as News medias.
