Genesis of I-AIM

I-AIM is a multi-disciplinary research, education and outreach arm of a public trust called Foundation for Revitalisation of Local Health Traditions (FRLHT). FRLHT was founded in 1993 by Mr. Sam Pitroda and Darshan Shankar. Sam Pitroda, continues to be the chairperson of the governing council of FRLHT.

In 2008, the FRLHT governing council resolved to subsume FRLHT initiatives developed during 1993-2008 into an Institute of Ayurveda and Integrative Medicine (IAIM) in order to execute a bold strategy to upscale and diversify FRLHT‘s education, research and outreach programs to demonstrate an innovative Institutional model for the promotion of Ayurveda for the new millennium.
