Earlier there was no separate Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences in University of Pune. Dr. Shivajirao Kadam, Vice-Chancellor of Bharati Vidyapeeth Deemed University and our former Principal, took a great deal of initiative and interest in creating a separate Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences in University of Pune in response to the growing importance of Pharmacy education. It is because of his efforts, a separate Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences was established in the University of Pune. Now a separate faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences has been created in Bharati Vidyapeeth University also.
It is a matter of great joy for us to say that Poona College of Pharmacy celebrated it’s Silver Jubilee year in 2006-07.
