Indian Pharmaceutical Association (IPA)-Education Division, Peenya branch in association with Acharya & B M Reddy College of Pharmacy is organising the first convention of women pharmacists 2011 (power and purpose) on March 8, 2011 at Acharya college campus, Bangalore.
The programme is being organised to create awareness about the Women Pharmacist League and the beginning of empowering women pharmacists in India. At present women constitute an important section in the pharmaceutical sector and a large number of women pharmacists are well qualified and struggling in their care.
In pharmacy about 50 per cent of the women power is present. They are more adaptable to all the sectors and are most preferable in pharmaceutical care, legal care and chemical pharma care. So PCI has granted the permission to start the league in India as every country is having a women league including US, UK, Australia, the organisers of the programme said.
They also added that they will soon start their own website to increase awareness about empowering women in pharmaceutical sector and also going to start an interaction on networking websites.
Their role is to participate actively in the research areas of pharmacy division and for the realisation of women’s equality and development in all spheres of life and also help those in enriching their awareness in job spectra and higher education. A training programme will also be arranged to share their experience as pharmacists.
Dr B Suresh, president, Pharmacy Council of India (PCI), Prof T V Narayana, chairman, IPA-Education Division, Dr Divakar Goli, Secretary, IPA Education Division, who is also the professor & principal of the Acharya & BM Reddy College of Pharmacy will be present during the programme which will start under the supervision of Prof. Kalyani Divakar, treasurer, Acharya & BM Reddy College of Pharmacy and Prof. Kalyani Prakasam, secretary, Acharya & BM Reddy College of Pharmacy.
