About BRKR Ayurvedic Govt. College and ESI Hospital

B.R.K.R. Govt. Ayurvedic College is located at a distance of 15 kilometers from S&P Capital IQ Hyderabad Office. B.R.K.R. Govt. Ayurvedic College has 350 Ayurvedic Students in under graduation and 94 students in post graduation courses, as well as 135 teaching & non-teaching staff. This institution also has a hospital in its premises with a capacity of 100 beds. More than 200 patients will come daily and few of them get admitted for a period of 15-20days for their treatment.

Current problems at the College and Hospital:

The college does not have proper water usage and disposal facilities, which in turn is resulting in hygiene conditions. The walls and floor of the hospital are also in bad condition and need renovation.

Impact of CIM project at BRKR Hospital ESI.

Construction of U shaped wall and repair of water filter enabled patients and students to consume water in a hygienic atmosphere. This construction divides drinking water taps and general purpose taps. This will help in maintaining hygienic atmosphere in the hospital premises as well. Cleaning of college premises and plantation work was undertaken by the volunteers, which brought happiness in the staff and students. Encouraged by our activities the college’s “National Service Scheme” volunteers also helped in cleaning and plantation work.
