Dawn of Ayurveda during the reign of Nizam VII of Hyderabad.
Mir Osman Ali Khan Bahadur, the Nizam VII ruled the Hyderabad State for about 38 years. In those days Ayurveda was flourishing in the state due to efforts of many Ayurvedic physicians, scholastic teachers, distinguished patrons and well-wishes who worked together with devotional spirit to make Ayurveda available to the people of the state to provide care for the diseases. Nizam Ayurveda Vaidya Sangh started Nizam Ayurvedic college and Nizam Ayurvedic Sadar Dawakhana in Hyderabad city under their management in the year 1934 as a private institution, which was inaugurated in the same year by Azam Jah Bahadur, the Prince of Berar. Consequent upon the inauguration, the Nizam Government accorded sanction of an amount of Rs. 200/- per month for Ayurveda. Thus the seed of Ayurveda was sown during the reign of Nizam VII in the Hyderabad state.
