Goa is famous for its Ayurveda. All generations of Vaidya family settled in Keri Village were practicing Ayurveda. Dr. Dada Vaidya (1859-1947) was doyan of the Vaidya family. He used to extract medicines from various plants in Goa and administer them to ailing persons. Though the Portuguese Government was advocating Allopathic medicines by law, Dr. DADA VAIDYA had the privilege of Portuguese officers and he treated their family members who had lost hopes of curing by adopting allopathic medicines successfully. The Portuguese government at the central square of Ponda city to show their gratitude for him erected a statue of Dr. Dada Vaidya.
