Genesis, Background & History

ADREEVA was born from a clear and compelling vision to create a center of health professions education that would strengthen the healthcare workforce of the region, and the global community. This vision was conceived by greoup of higher education professionals, distinguished public servant and academic leaders.

The Vision

With over three decades of collective wisdom and leadership spanning healthcare, government, and higher education, a distinguished group of higher education experts, public servant, philanthropists, and academic leaders recognized a critical and growing gap in the availability of well-trained, ethical, and globally competent healthcare professionals. Drawing on their extensive experience in health systems planning, academic governance, and medical & health professions education - both regionally and internationally - they envisioned a future-focused institution that would integrate academic excellence, clinical relevance, and technology-driven learning to meet regional and global workforce demands. This bold initiative was not merely aspirational; it represented a strategic response to real challenges facing health systems in underserved regions worldwide.

From Vision to Action

The transformation of this vision into reality was led by Mrs. Deepa Pandey, Founding Director of ADREEVA Health & Life Sciences Limited and Trustee of ADREEVA School of Health Professions. With more than two decades of experience in education, leadership, and institutional development, Mrs. Pandey played a pivotal role in translating the founding vision into a structured, sustainable, and internationally aligned institution.

A diverse group of higher education experts, healthcare educators, administrators, and consultants joined hands with Mrs. Pandey to shape the institution’s academic and operational framework.

Strategic Growth and Institutional Development

ADREEVA progressed through critical phases of feasibility assessment, strategic planning, stakeholder engagement, and site selection. The detailed academic planning was undertaken, infrastructure requirements were defined, and a assignment was initiated for curriculum development across health professions education. The academic vision was designed to align with international standards while remaining responsive to local and regional healthcare realities.

In 2026, the institution reached a defining milestone with the National Investment Board official registration as ADREEVA Health & Life Sciences Limited (SL230326ADREE29437 dt. March 23, 2026) and Business Registration with District Council (WARDC 061) Cert. No.: WC 02198 / March 2026 as Company Class: A.

Founding Leadership and Academic Philosophy

ADREEVA’s foundation is further strengthened by the involvement of Dr. Prarthana Mehta, a renowned ayurvedic physician, academician, and public health advocate, who joined Mrs. Pandey as a Founding Trustee. Dr. Mehta’s three decades of clinical excellence, academic leadership, and community health engagement bring a unique integrative and holistic perspective to the institution’s academic philosophy. Her presence reinforces ADREEVA’s commitment to multidisciplinary education, preventive healthcare, and patient-centered practice. Together, the founding leadership represents a rare convergence of expertise in medical education, public health systems, governance, integrative medicine, and institutional development.
