The role of the pharmacist is very different today from what it was several years ago, with many pharmacists becoming more engaged in providing healthcare to petients in both the hospital and community sectors. It is a challenging and rewarding role and one that gains the respect of other healthcare professionals. With a view to provide altruist professionals the Department of Pharmacy had its inception in 1997. Presently situated in Bhimtal, it has recently been reincarnated as the Department of Pharmaceutical sciences with the commencement of PG and doctorate programmes under the Faculty of Technology, catering to the needs of one of the remotest and difficult hilly terrains of Uttarakhand.
