Overview

Uttarakhand Ayurved University (UAU), Dehradun is one of the recognized state universities dedicated to Ayurvedic and traditional healthcare education in India. Established by the Government of Uttarakhand, the university regulates and promotes education, research, and clinical training in Ayurveda, Yoga, Unani, and allied AYUSH disciplines through affiliated colleges and healthcare institutions. The university is known for preserving classical Ayurvedic sciences while integrating practical clinical education and modern healthcare-oriented training systems.
The Post Graduate Diploma Course in Kshar Karma is a specialized postgraduate-level para-surgical training program designed to provide advanced knowledge and practical expertise in Ayurvedic surgical procedures and Kshar Karma techniques. Kshar Karma is one of the important branches of Ayurvedic surgery described in classical Ayurvedic texts, especially in Sushruta Samhita, and is widely used for the treatment of anorectal and chronic surgical disorders.
The course focuses on therapeutic use of alkaline preparations (Kshara), Ksharasutra techniques, minimally invasive Ayurvedic procedures, wound care management, and non-invasive surgical approaches. Students are trained in patient assessment, diagnosis, operative procedures, post-operative management, sterilization protocols, and Ayurvedic surgical principles.
The curriculum combines theoretical education with extensive practical and clinical exposure under experienced Ayurvedic surgeons and para-surgical specialists. Students gain hands-on training in management of fistula-in-ano, hemorrhoids, fissure, pilonidal sinus, chronic ulcers, and related surgical conditions using Ayurvedic techniques.
The program also emphasizes preventive healthcare, rehabilitation support, dietetics, lifestyle modification, and holistic patient management according to Ayurvedic principles. Practical training in operation theater protocols, surgical instruments, Kshara preparation methods, and patient counseling forms an important part of the academic structure.
This postgraduate diploma program is highly beneficial for Ayurveda graduates seeking specialization in Ayurvedic surgery and para-surgical sciences. After successful completion, candidates may work in Ayurvedic hospitals, Ksharasutra clinics, Panchkarma centers, surgical Ayurveda departments, wellness hospitals, research institutions, and integrative healthcare facilities.
With increasing demand for minimally invasive and cost-effective healthcare solutions, Ayurvedic para-surgical procedures and Kshar Karma therapies are gaining significant importance in the AYUSH and integrative medicine sectors.
