Dean's message
ALARD School Of Pharmacy
As the Dean, it is my privilege to lead the School with a deep sense of responsibility towards academic excellence, research, and student development. In today’s rapidly evolving healthcare and pharmaceutical landscape, our role as educators extends beyond classroom teaching to nurturing competent professionals, ethical leaders, and lifelong learners.
At our School, we emphasize a strong foundation of knowledge blended with practical exposure, research orientation, and industry relevance. The curriculum is designed in alignment with NEP-2020, focusing on outcome-based education, skill development, interdisciplinary learning, and innovation. We actively encourage students and faculty to engage in research, project-based learning, and industry–academia collaboration, ensuring that learning remains meaningful and future-ready.
Quality is central to everything we do. Through a structured IQAC-driven approach, we continuously review and improve our academic processes, teaching–learning practices, and assessment methods. Our faculty members are not only subject experts but also committed mentors who guide students academically, professionally, and ethically.
I firmly believe that education should empower students with confidence, competence, and character. We strive to provide a supportive, inclusive, and intellectually stimulating environment where every learner is encouraged to explore, innovate, and excel.
I invite students, parents, and stakeholders to join us in this journey of knowledge, growth, and excellence as we work together to shape responsible professionals and contribute meaningfully to society.
