Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of medicine, emphasizes preventive healthcare and the therapeutic use of natural resources. Value-added Ayurvedic products such as Amla sharbat, Amla syrup, Amla candy, Ale pak, Green chilli pickle, Amla supari, and Mixed fruit jam were prepared in the college laboratory by undergraduate students under faculty supervision. The study followed a hands-on, skill-oriented methodology including selection of raw materials, extraction, cooking, preservation, drying, packaging, and storage. Organoleptic and stability evaluations revealed that the products were acceptable in quality, with Amla-based preparations retaining significant nutritional value, especially Vitamin C.??The initiative not only demonstrated the medicinal and nutritional potential of traditional Ayurvedic products but also served as a practical educational model in alignment with NEP 2020. Students developed skills in product formulation, quality assessment, hygiene, and entrepreneurship while integrating with botany knowledge. This approach highlights the importance of experiential learning in higher education, promoting self-reliance, entrepreneurship, and preservation of traditional knowledge.?
