The University of Trans-Disciplinary Health Sciences and Technology (TDU) is a state private university in Bengaluru established in 2013 to advance research and education at the intersection of traditional knowledge, modern science and technology. Its institutional roots lie in the Foundation for Revitalisation of Local Health Traditions (FRLHT), founded in Bengaluru in 1993 after earlier national work to document and strengthen India's local health traditions. Two decades of FRLHT research and field activity formed the basis for the Government of Karnataka to legislate TDU through Karnataka Act No. 35 of 2013. The university's central academic identity is trans-disciplinary research, particularly work connecting Ayurveda and other Indian knowledge traditions with biology, biomedicine, environmental science, policy, design and technology. TDU operates from Jarakabande Kaval in north Bengaluru and includes research laboratories in areas such as phytochemistry, genetics and molecular biology. Its Institute of Ayurveda and Integrative Medicine provides a 100-bed research hospital that supports clinical and translational work in integrative health. Academic programs include undergraduate, postgraduate, doctoral and continuing-learning options designed for students interested in complex problems that cross conventional disciplinary boundaries. The institution emphasizes research questions with societal relevance rather than organizing all scholarship within traditional departmental silos. TDU's work also includes conservation of medicinal plants, documentation of traditional knowledge and community-oriented research. Its Bengaluru setting connects specialized health research with one of India's largest science, biotechnology and technology ecosystems. As a state private university, THE UNIVERSITY OF TRANS-DISCIPLINARY HEALTH SCIENCES AND TECHNOLOGY operates within the statutory and quality frameworks applicable to higher education in Karnataka. The institution's Bengaluru location also shapes the professional, cultural and community networks available to students. Professional programs remain subject to the approvals and standards of the relevant statutory or regulatory bodies where required. Library, digital-learning and student-support systems complement the university's teaching and practical-learning environment.
