Philosophy
Physiotherapy Education while catering to the ever demanding need of technically qualified personnel at national and international levels, will boost the career prospects of our students and will empower them with self – reliance, economic freedom and social commitment. Recognizing the shortage of adequately qualified and trained Physiotherapists and the overwhelming demand for them within the Country and abroad, Bahuleyan Charitable Foundation has decided to serve as a premier organization providing Physiotherapy Education by establishing BCF College of Physiotherapy in this remote, rural area. This endeavour is in keeping with the concept of its Founder, Dr. Kumar Bahuleyan, whose dream is to create a hub of quality para – medical education in this hamlet of Vaikom Taluk which is also his native place.
Parent Hospital
Indo – American Hospital, Brain and Spine Centre adjacent to the college campus, is the parent hospital of BCF College of Physiotherapy. This super specialty hospital provides all facilities as available in any of the finest hospitals in Europe or USA in the Neurology and Neurosurgery specialty.
Dr.K.Bahuleyan founded the BCF trust, a non profitable organization that runs the Indo American Hospital with a view that the poor patients should not be denied top class medical service due to their poverty. The hospital, one of the finest in the sub continent, attracts patients from every part of the globe.
