Chapters were identified for Classroom teaching(20) and self learning(10). Insignificant distribution was observed for 7 chapters. Self learning module created on Gandishadividhi Chapter was tested on I BAMS students by Pre test and Post Tests (with Questionnaire containing 15 Questions) shows statistically significant (p<0.001) results for paired t test. Conclusions: There is certainly need of self learning modules for the I BAMS course.
