AIPH UNIVERSITY

AIPH UNIVERSITY

The Asian Institute of Public Health (AIPH) came into being in 2008 in the country. AIPH started a flagship programme, Master of Public Health (MPH) under an Indo-US partnership in 2010, which became self sufficient in 2015. These exceptional educational and outstanding research programmes resulted in getting AIPH a university status through state legislature in 2018. Its circular emblem in yellow and brown colours has a tree supported by a pair of hands. The tree is made up of motifs of an animal’s paw, DNA structure, a flying bird and humans. All these are ensconced in brown and black circular outlines. Around this on a yellow border, its name is written on top and the bottom its motto in Sanskrit ‘विद्ययाऽमृतमश्नुते’ meaning ‘Be Immortal Through Knowledge’. The border is decorated with twenty four towers of the local temple. The tree symbolises strength, individuality and expression, calmness, growth and the interconnectedness of everything; supporting hands about the nurturing the students, vision and mission; the DNA structure denotes the subject area of study; the flying bird denotes the freedom and realisation upon learning and the animal’s  paw denotes the interconnectedness of human and animal in the environment.
