PHARMA ANVESHAN 2026

Introduction

Pharma Anveshan 2026 is a state-level academic–industry conclave, organized in connection with 6th March, the birth anniversary of Dr. (Prof.) M. L. Schroff, who is widely regarded as the Father of Pharmacy Education in India. In recognition of his seminal contributions to the establishment and advancement of pharmacy education in the country, the Pharmacy Council of India (PCI) has officially declared 6th March as "National Pharmacy Education Day." To commemorate this nationally significant occasion, Pharma Anveshan is conceived as a focused academic–industry engagement programme, with the core one-day conclave held between 6th to 20th March 2026.

Since the last two years, Pharma Anveshan events have emerged as effective platforms for promoting industry–academia interaction, enabling academic institutions to present granted and published patents, applied research outcomes, and translational innovations before industry professionals, regulatory authorities, and policymakers. Such platforms have also facilitated meaningful dialogue on curriculum relevance, skill development, employability, regulatory expectations, and collaborative research opportunities, thereby contributing to capacity building within pharmacy education.

Pharma Anveshan 2026 aims to further strengthen this legacy by bringing together academicians, researchers, industry experts, regulatory authorities, institutional leaders, placement officers, and students on a common platform. The event will focus on showcasing academic research with industrial relevance, promoting innovation and intellectual property awareness, encouraging collaborative research and consultancy, and bridging the existing gap between academic research output and industry expectations in the pharmaceutical sector.
