A Historic First Step

On 13th August 2025, the Maharaja Institute of Medical Sciences (MIMS), Vizianagaram, Andhra Pradesh, created history. By hosting a hands-on microgreens workshop led by Ravindra G, Founder of mU Greens and Greens and India’s No. 1 microgreens mentor, MIMS became the first medical college in India to formally integrate microgreens education into its student and faculty learning environment.

This Microgreens workshop was not just an event. It was the foundation stone of a larger movement, where future doctors learn not only to heal with medicines, but also to prescribe preventive nutrition, sustainability, and mental wellness through microgreens.

The Visionary Leadership Behind MIMS

This milestone was possible because of the visionary leadership of MIMS:

Dr. T Venugopala Rao, Director
Dr. Ch Lakshmi Kumar, Dean
Dr. P Divya, Chairperson, Hobby Club
And the tireless coordination of Dr. Kalyan
Thanks to Dr. Prabhakar Varma, Dr. Neelima Sundar

Their foresight in recognizing the importance of microgreens reflects a deep commitment to holistic medical education. By empowering students and faculty with this knowledge, they have set a benchmark for other medical institutions to follow.

Why This Matters to Medical Education

The response at MIMS was overwhelming, with 160+ doctors, faculty, and medical students actively participating. Students even carried cocopeat and seeds back to their hostels to start growing microgreens themselves.

Here’s why this matters:

For Patients: Doctors educated about microgreens can recommend them as part of a healthy diet, addressing immunity, detoxification, and lifestyle diseases.
For Doctors: Growing microgreens serves as a stress-relieving, mindful activity that helps combat burnout.
For Communities: By bridging the gap between knowledge and practice, MIMS has shown how medical education can lead the way in nutrition awareness and sustainable living.
