Need to update Parma education stressed
Chennai: Drug Controller General of India M.Venkateswaralu on Saturday stressed the need for updating the syllabus for pharmaceutical studies, which would make the graduates suitable for employment in the industry.
Participating in the two-day national conference of the Indian Pharmacy Graduates Association here, he expressed concern over the lack of updation of knowledge among the pharmacy graduates.
“The industry has an enormous potential for growth with eight percent rate annually in global scenario, while it is 10 percent per annum in India. But Parma students are employed just to fulfill the mandatory obligations and the companies are satisfied even with any science graduate. Our students should get jobs not because of mandatory rules, but for their efficiency,” he said.
To achieve this, there should be interaction between academics; industry and regulators, so that any graduate would come out with the abilities what the industry really needed.
