Principal’s address,
My Dear Alumni,
Greetings to all,
It gives me great pleasure to introduce before you the fourth issue of PCPians’ Bulletin.
As you know this college known as Bharati vidyapeeth’s Poona College of Pharmacy,
was established in 1981 by Hon’ble Dr. Patangrao Kadam, Founder of Bharati Vidyapeeth. This
was first ever college imparting Pharmacy education within the jurisdiction of Pune University.
Dr. Patangrao Kadam cherished a dream of making this college a throbbing centre of excellent
pharmacy education and research. Under his able guidance, together we have done our best to
fulfill the dream of our founder. Since 1981, college pioneer in pharmacy education was
affiliated to University of Pune. Since July, 2000, it was incorporated under Bharati Vidyapeeth
Deemed University as its constituent unit. This step of merging in Bharati Vidyapeeth Deemed
University was particularly motivated because of the academic autonomy, the college has
established.
I am very happy to let you know that our college has been ranked 1st rank in
Maharashtra and 4th rank by NIRF (National institutional ranking framework 2016 survey)
across India among all the pharmacy institutions in the country. Additionally our institute is
reaccredited by National Board of Acreditation in the third cycle. I believe that this success of
institute is due to teaching and non teaching staff, students, alumni and parents. I expect similar
cooperation from alumni in coming future.
Our college offers B.Pharm., M.Pharm. and Ph.D. in all specialization of Pharmacy and
it is an approved college from both AICTE and Pharmacy Council of India, New Delhi. Based
on the infrastructure, facilities and faculty of the college both National Accreditation Bodies viz.
NBA and NAAC have awarded the most coveted “A GRADE” to our college .Our college is now
4
recognized Nodal (national) centre for QIP, programme in pharmacy of AICTE and we have
AICTE approved Industry Institute Partnership Cell running in our college. Our college is also
ISO-9001-2008 Certified Institute. Recently our college has started a Doctor of Pharmacy
(Pharm. D.) programme from 2009-10. Our college is the first and only college in Maharashtra
State approved by PCI to conduct Pharm.D. (Six years after 12th Sci/ D.Pharm.) and Pharm.D.
Post Baccalaureate (three years after B.Pharm.).
You can communicate your suggestions related to syllabus designing for current students,
alumni association, conducting guest lectures, collaborative research etc. in our college on my
email ([email protected]) or the associations email i.e. [email protected]. I
invite all the alumni visiting Pune, do schedule your visit to our college and interact with
students. Our M. Pharm. results are declared, you can help your juniors by arranging campus
interviews for them.
I look forward for continued and ever inspiring participation from all alumni in the forthcoming
events of Poona College of Pharmacy Alumni Association.
With Best regards.
Yours Truly,
Professor K. R. Mahadik,
Principal, Poona College of Pharmacy
