Principal’s address,

My Dear Alumni,

Greetings to all,

It gives me great pleasure to introduce before you the Fifth 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.

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

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.). I believe that this success of institute is due to

4

teaching and non teaching staff, students, alumni and parents. I expect similar cooperation from

alumni in coming future.

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 (krmahadik@rediffmail.com) or the associations email i.e. pcpalumni@gmail.com. I

invite all the alumni visiting Pune, do schedule your visit to our college and interact with

students.

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

Bharati Vidyapeeth Deemed University
