Imagine a school where a child with a stomach ache doesn’t have to wait for a parent to arrive, miss hours of class, or sit in discomfort through a lesson they can’t focus on. Imagine a space where healthcare isn’t an interruption to education—it’s part of it.
That’s not a vision. That’s the reality at Udgam School for Children, Zebar School for Children, and other Udgamverse schools—where over 2.42 lakh student visits to on-campus homeopathy clinics have been recorded since 2016. And in the last year alone, more than 55,800 students walked through those clinic doors—a number that tells a story worth understanding.
The Numbers That Demand Attention
2,42,000+ total student visits recorded (2016–2026)
55,800+ visits in FY 2025–26 alone (highest ever)
69% year-on-year growth in the latest year
1.9× times higher than pre-pandemic levels
57% of visits from primary students (Classes 1–5)
40% of annual visits in monsoon months (July–September)
These aren’t just metrics. They are a map of trust—drawn one clinic visit at a time, by parents who chose to believe that their child’s school could also be their child’s first line of care.
How It Works — And Why It Works
Across five school campuses—Udgam, Zebar, Satellite, Kenalily, and Bodakdev—the Anubhuti Homeopathy Clinic network operates as a structured, first-response healthcare system. The model is elegant in its simplicity: when a child feels unwell during school hours, they visit the on-campus clinic rather than sitting through class in discomfort or calling a parent in a panic.
The most commonly addressed concerns? Abdominal discomfort (19%) and headaches (16%)—the kind of everyday ailments that, if left unaddressed, can snowball into missed days, anxious parents, and disrupted learning. Add seasonal conditions like cough, cold, and fever—especially prevalent in the monsoon months—and you have a picture of the real, unglamorous, daily health realities of school-going children.
“When structured care is available on campus, it builds confidence and ensures that learning is not disrupted by everyday health concerns.” — Manan Choksi, CEO Udgamverse
A Behavioural Shift, Not Just a Service
Perhaps the most telling insight from a decade of data is this: students and parents keep coming back. The data reveals a clear pattern of repeat usage—suggesting that the Anubhuti model is being consistently relied upon, not just sampled.
Post-pandemic, footfalls are nearly 1.9 times higher than pre-Covid levels. This isn’t coincidence. The pandemic fundamentally altered how families think about health—especially children’s health. Parents who once dismissed a mild fever or stomach pain are now more vigilant, more proactive, and more appreciative of systems that offer continuity of care.
On-campus homeopathy clinics fill a specific gap: they offer accessibility (no commute, no waiting rooms), safety (curated for children), and continuity (the same practitioners understanding patterns over time). That’s not a small thing. For a working parent juggling schedules, knowing that their child is not sitting in distress but is being gently, appropriately attended to—that’s peace of mind with a name.
What This Means for the Future of Schools
Udgam and Zebar’s homeopathy clinic model quietly challenges a long-standing assumption: that schools are only responsible for academic outcomes. The Anubhuti data suggests otherwise.
When children are healthy, they learn better. When parents trust a school’s ecosystem, they engage more deeply. When absenteeism drops—even slightly—classroom communities remain intact. The benefits compound.
Homeopathy, as part of India’s AYUSH framework, is increasingly being recognised not as an alternative to conventional medicine, but as a complementary, first-response layer—particularly suited to the kind of minor, recurring ailments that schools encounter daily. The Udgam-Zebar model doesn’t replace family doctors or hospitals. It bridges the gap between a child’s discomfort at 10 AM and a parent’s availability at 3 PM.
2.42 lakh visits later, the data has spoken. Holistic education includes healthy students.
A Model Worth Watching
As schools across India look to redefine what it means to nurture the whole child, the Anubhuti Homeopathy Clinic network offers a replicable, data-backed answer. It is not experimental. It is not ideological. It is operational, scaled, and measurably effective.
World Homeopathy Day 2026 marks ten years of this journey at Udgam and Zebar. Ten years of sore stomachs soothed, headaches eased, and parents reassured. Ten years of proving that a school that cares for its students’ health is a school that takes its mission seriously.
The future of education is holistic—and the Udgam family is already living it.
