Founded in 2006 and named after the Rishi Patanjali, the purpose of the institute is to practice, research, and develop yoga and ayurveda.

[20][21] Ramdev's main aim behind opening Acharyakulam was to promote Vedic education and Indian culture.

[22] He believed establishing Acharyaklam will help to protect the culture of India and promote Vedic knowledge to new generations of Indians.

In 2014, Ramdev proposed to the central government to have a new educational board that would collate insights from ancient Gurukul system and modern sciences, and bring uniformity in education dispersed at other such schools including Vidya Bharti Schools and Gurukuls run by RSS and Arya Samaj.

[26][27][28][29] In 2018 Ayush Sharma and Yuvraj Aaditya Arya received overall 99% and 98% respectively in class 10 CBSE Board exams.

[30][31] On 27 September 2018, Amit Shah, Trivendra Singh Rawat and Ramdev inaugurated new premises of Acharyakulam near Patanjali Yogpeeth Phase-1.

[39][40] In May 2021, Ramdev sparked controversy when he spoke against modern medical science in the context of COVID-19 pandemic in India.

[41][42] On 27 May, Patanjali Yogpeeth confirmed that it had received the defamation notice from IMA demanding an apology from Ramdev over his remarks.

In a statement, the institute quoting Balkrishna said it would give a befitting reply legally to IMA.

The Supreme Court of India took a strong stance against Patanjali Ayurved and its co-founders, Baba Ramdev and Acharya Balkrishna, for their ongoing issuance of misleading advertisements.

[44] The court rejected their apologies, deeming them insufficient and mere "lip service", and noted a blatant disregard for prior judicial directives meant to curb such misleading practices.
