Organizational Profile
Background
The genesis of shree baidyanath ayurveda bhawan ltd. dates back to 1918 when this company
was founded at Baidyanathdham(Bihar) by late Pt. Ram Dayal Joshi and Vaidya Ram Narain
Sharma with a small capital at their disposal.
The overall response was so encouraging that soon after it became difficult to meet the full
requirements of the people due to non availability of raw materials .Keeping this factor in
mind the concern had to be shifted to Kolkatta where comparatively better facilities were at
disposal.
After many years of constant struggle the company made a tremendous progress. How its
progress was handicapped by the second would war when transport and communication
become difficult. lt become difficult to effect the distribution of baidyanath medicines. The
only panacea to this problem was to open three more manufacturing centres at Patna , Jhansi
& Nagpur in the years 1940, 1941 & 1942 respectively. The company now has 5 large and
well equipped factories situated in Patna , Kolkatta ,Jhansi, Nagppur & Naini.
