From Dean's Desk:

 

I am very happy to introduce the Faculty of Pharmacy of the Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda. The seed of knowledge that was sown in 1973 as a small department has grown as a nearly 50 year old tree! I have been very fortunate to have been a witness to its stupendous progress , first as  a student and thereafter as a contributor in the capacity of Teacher, Head and Dean over a span of nearly 40 years.

Our department has always been a very well sought-after institute by students at UG, PG and Ph D levels, which speaks volumes about the mark it has made for itself. This is mainly because the Faculty of Pharmacy has maintained the highest professional standards and has been able to meet the local and global expectations,  maintaining a balance between churning of knowledge and employability. All the courses offered by the Faculty of Pharmacy are designed to be relevant to local, national and global developmental needs, after seeking and incorporating inputs from various stakeholders. Our  teachers have always focused on sharpening the learning capabilities and understanding, enhancing application of acquired knowledge and bringing out hidden talents among the students to ensure their all round development.

Apart from academics, our Faculty has built-in Research culture  and we are indeed very proud of our Research achievements, be it establishment of TIFAC Centre of Excellence in Research in  NDDS, or our State of Art Research Centre, along with large number of patents, publications and Research grants. We have many laurels to boast of, thanks to the strong foundation and contributions from the past and present illustrious and renowned Faculty members.  

The Faculty of Pharmacy is recognized at a National Level by consistently good NIRF rankings. Nevertheless, we are committed to improve our National rankings and also make a mark for ourselves at a global level. It will be our endless efforts and endeavours to keep pace with changing times and to continue on our onward journey, striving for continual progress and improvement so that we attract the best talents at both , National as well as  International level!

I hereby invite all stakeholders to be a part of the exciting journey of learning, grooming, nurturing, growing and career moulding at the Faculty of Pharmacy under the huge Banyan-tree Canopy of the highly acclaimed and prestigious Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, Vadodara.
