A naturally progressive industry, pharma has drawn together some great thinkers and speakers around the globe. However, did you know about it’s debut in India?
In India, the formal pharmacy education - leading to a degree began with the introduction of the 3-year bachelors of pharmacy (BPharm) at Banaras Hindu University in the year 1937.
At that time, the curriculum was presented as a combination of pharmaceutical chemistry, analytical chemistry, and pharmacy, which prepared graduates to work as specialists in quality control and standardization of drugs for pharmaceutical companies, but not for pharmacy practices!
Before India gained independence in 1947, there were only 3 institutions offering pharmacy degree programs. In 1944, the Punjab University started a pharmacy department; in 1947 L.M. College was established in Ahmedabad.
Interestingly, the concept of pharmacy practice was not realized until after independence. In 1948, the Pharmacy Act was implemented as the nation's first minimum-standard of educational qualification required for pharmacy practices to regulate the practice, education, and profession of pharmacy.
Currently, one needs at least a diploma in pharmacy to practice as a pharmacist. Provisions of the Act are implemented through the Pharmacy Council of India (PCI).
