Greetings from Principal’s Desk.

Dr. Bhaskar V H,

Principal

Dear Readers,

It gives me immense pleasure in introducing the

college and its journey from 2006 to 2016.

Dr. Om Gahlot, Chairman of “Late Smt. Hanjabai

Gahlot Charitable Trust”, established “Gahlot Insti-

tute of Pharmacy” in 2006, to provide the best qual-

ity education in the field of pharmacy.

Under the guidance of former Principal, Dr Rajani Shettigar, the college started its

first year with four faculty members. Over the period of the next four years, the fa-

cilities of the college were strengthened to fulfill all regulatory norms. As a result,

the college was approved by Pharmacy Council of India, Delhi under section 12 of

Pharmacy Act.

I was appointed as “Leader” to the team of my faculty, staff and students in October

2012. We worked together as a team and got approval for a new course i.e. M. Phar-

macy in Quality Assurance from University of Mumbai. I am proud to tell you that

our first batch of M Pharm students has successfully passed out and all of them are

employed with reputed Pharmaceutical firms.

The Institute has successfully completed ten years of existence. In this period, six

batches of B Pharm students have passed out with flying colors. We intend to cele-

brate this achievement with our alumni in the next academic year. On this occasion,

we will be coming out with a souvenir reflecting the past ten years in all their glory.

Inorder to keep the students updated about the various activities conducted in college

and to keep them informed about upcoming events, faculty members have decided to

publish a quarterly newsletter for internal circulation. I wholeheartedly support this

idea and welcome you all to the very first edition of the newsletter.

With the blessing of Almighty, support of Chairman and of course whole hearted co-

operation of my team members we will continue to grow in leaps and bounds.

Many things are there to write. See you all in next news letter, until then bye-bye.

FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK We are very delighted to share the

first newsletter issue 2016 of Gahlot

Institute of Pharmacy. The news let-

ter reflects the introduction to our

faculty, current college activities

which outclass the excellence, iden-

tity, recognition and also maintains

high scholastic principles to dissemi-

nate the light of Pharmaceutical edu-

cation and hereby congratulating the

faculty and students for their genuine

expertise and skillfulness to make

this victorious. We appreciate input

of all the faculty and students.

Mrs. Vaishali Mistry, Assistant Professor, Editor In Charge. Ms. Priya Hargunani, Assistant Professor, Editor In Charge.

ant role in raising the general health standards
