There was no Pharmacy College in this region till 1981 and Dr. Patangrao Kadam,
Founder of Bharati Vidyapeeth, realising the need for training the students in Pharmaceutical
Sciences established Poona College of Pharmacy in 1981. Thus this college is the
pioneering pharmacy institute in this region. With a person like Dr.Shivajirao Kadam
who is a very dynamic man with a great academic commitment and orientation at the
helm of affairs, as its first Principal for 25 years, this College has now come
to be known as one of the best Pharmacy Colleges in the country for its academic
excellence.
Poona College of Pharmacy was earlier permanently affiliated to University of Pune.
It is now a constituent unit of Bharati Vidyapeeth Deemed University. It is a grant-in-aid
institute, conducting Graduate, Post-graduate and Doctoral programmes in Pharmaceutical
Sciences.
