Better interaction between Technical institutions and industry is the need of the hour. This will have great bearing on the Pharma Curriculum, exposure of industrial atmosphere to Pharmacy students and subsequent placement of young graduating Pharmacists in industries across the country. With the advent of globalization and opening up of Indian economy to outside world, competition among industries has become stiff. To solve their manufacturing problems they look up now to Pharma Institutions. Similarly, there is an urgent need to prepare Pharmacy students for jobs in multinational companies, by exposing them to newer technologies, formulating, analytical and research methodologies. These objectives can only be achieved well by bridging the gap between industry and the academic institute.
