History
In 1940, the erstwhile royal family of Nawanagar State established the Shri Gulabkunverba Ayurveda Society in Nawanagar (now Jamnagar). The Society had translated Charaka Samhita into English, Hindi and Gujarati languages. The society built the Dhanwantari Mandir, a large palatial building, in 1944. The society founded Shri Gulabkunverba Ayurveda Mahavidyalaya, the first Ayurveda college of India, in 1946. Following the independence of India in 1947, the Government of India focused on revival and reorganisation of Ayurveda. On recommendation of the committees established by the government, the Central Institute for Research in Indigenous System of Medicine (CIRISM), the first Ayurveda research institute of India, was founded at Dhanwantari Mandir in 1952. The Centre for PG Studies and Research in Ayurveda (CPGS&RA), the first post-graduate Ayurveda college of India, was established in July 1956. In 1963, Shree Gulabkunverba Ayurveda Mahavidyalaya, CIRISM and CPGS&RA were integrated to create the Institute for Ayurvedic Studies and Research (IASR).
