| The dawn of post GATT era has
brought about a sea change in the national Pharma scenario as
it has ushered the Indian pharmaceutical Industry into the arena
of globalization. Pharma Sector is going to play a very important
role in shaping the country’s economy and hence its progress.
The profession of pharmacy is definitely poised for a quantum
leap.
Against this background, the academic sector has to gear up
to cater, not only to the Pharma Industry but also to various
new avenues opening in the Pharma Sector such as Community Pharmacy,
Clinical Pharmacy, Research & Development and Hospital Pharmacy.
This will ensure that the pharmacist has a role to play in the
building nation’s health in Toto.
Sinhgad Technical Education Society (STES), our parent body,
which has just completed a decade in the academia, is a name
to reckon with. It has established itself as a brand and is
the hallmark of quality education. One of its offspring, Sinhgad
College of Pharmacy (SCOP), has left no stone unturned and has
emerged as a renowned and sought after premier Pharma education
center in the state and also in the country.
Keeping in line with our mission and the vision, SCOP nurtures
overall development of the “budding pharmacist”
by creating an atmosphere of healthy competition, meticulously
laid standards, state of the art infrastructure and facilities.
The highly experienced and dedicated faculty contributes largely
to the ever-increasing demands of quality maintenance and performance
of the students.
In the post GATT era, with research being the key word, we have
achieved creditable distinction of getting approval to start
M.Pharm. , just after six years of inception of SCOP. The college
has scrupulously followed all norms of the regulatory bodies
and has emerged out unscathed through all rigorous tests of
inspections.
‘SCOP is an institution with a difference, which has to
be seen to be believed.’
