The document discusses the history and evolution of the pharmaceutical industry in India. It notes that pharmacy education must adapt to meet future needs of the profession by integrating new technologies and ensuring adequate training. There is currently a shortage of pharmacists that is projected to worsen, and challenges include expanding faculty, training sites, and financing education programs. The pharmaceutical industry in India has grown significantly but still faces challenges in research and development. Government initiatives aim to support further growth, though foreign investment will also be important to meet future needs.

5. Pharmaceutical Education
•
Pharmaceutical biotechnology, pharmacogenomics, combinatorial chemistry, screening
technologies, and bioinformatics are major advances that give a new direction to
pharmaceutical sciences.
•
Pharmaceutical education has to set new priorities to keep pace with the challenges
related to genomic technologies.
•
Educators and pharmacy school members have the responsibility of deciding how, to
what extent, by which methods, and/or in which way these changes and new directions
in the education programs should be developed.

workforce and professional development and maintenance of competency of
practitioners.
6. Reasons of strong education system
• Changes in medical environments such as collapse of doctors' paternalism
• To meet these social needs the education of students in pharmaceutical colleges should
be reconstructed extensively from a traditional research-oriented system to a patientcentered system, applied pharmacotherapy is to be strengthened and enforced.
• The pharmacy academy is well positioned to prepare graduates to become more
proactive in creating a safer health care environment for patients.
A drastic reform of pharmacist education should be brought in effect.
