AYUSH Secretary and former Gujarat Ayurveda University Vice-Chancellor Rajesh Kotecha inaugurated a photo gallery set up by Kottakkal Arya Vaidya Sala as part of its Charitable Hospital’s centenary celebrations on Saturday evening.

Rajendran, head of materials Shailaja Madhavankutty, Charitable Hospital superintendent K. Lekah, medical advisor P. Balachandran, Ayurveda chief medical officer K.M.
