Vyasa Taranga is the official Students’ Club bi-monthly magazine of A.L.N. Rao Memorial Ayurvedic Medical College, launched in April 2025. It serves as a vibrant reflection of campus life, creative expression, and academic engagement — celebrating both Ayurvedic tradition and youthful innovation. Initiated under the aegis of the Aroor Educational Trust (R.), guided by Smt. Aroor Namitha Rao (Managing Trustee), Vyasa Taranga was envisioned as a common platform to bring together art, literature, and expression among students. It unites the Students’ Art & Literature Club and Press Club under one dynamic forum, drawing inspiration from Maharshi Vyasa. VYASATARANGA is the eternal symbol of knowledge, art, and authorship. The magazine was conceptualized and meticulously coordinated by Dr. Pooja Huilgol, who guided its first two editions before concluding her tenure at the institution.
