What are the key factors that keep you connected with the education sector?

“A strong inclination and appreciation towards teaching”

I pursued an academic career because I love to teach. Few other professions offer as much opportunity for long-term impact on students as teaching does. It is also incredibly rewarding for me to mentor students. The lack of short-term deadlines also gives me the time to consider a problem over a long period of time.

What is your philosophy of leadership?

“Leadership based on democratic principles”

As far as managing my employees and faculty, I have never acted as a boss. The idea of innovation, creativity, and striving for perfection are always my main themes. Every team has a boss, but what people need is a leader who can help them succeed.

How does the curriculum of your institute ensure the best practice of industry?

“Syllabus includes topics such as Regulatory affairs and PV”

The syllabus of PCI is followed by all pharmacy colleges. We have included value-added courses in the 5th and 7th semesters to make students industry-ready. We included pharmacovigilance in the 5th semester while Regulatory affairs in the 7th semester. The pharmaceutical industry, as well as multinational companies, offer great opportunities for both of these subjects after B.Pharm.

Any suggestions that you would like to give to the current youth?

“The youth must focus on self-dependency and hardwork”

I would like to tell the students that if they follow their dreams and work hard, they will shine and achieve whatever they want. Always consider yourself an entrepreneur, self-starter, fast learner, and self-motivator. Do not be afraid of taking risks. For a dream to be realized, it's important to accept that many times you will fall. You are more fortunate than you think, just believe in yourself, and everything will work out for you.
