"Gone are the days when just a degree was enough to get jobs. The situation has now been changed completely. Pharmaceutical industry is fast changing, and they require only competent persons," Suresh felt, while addressing the inaugural session of four-day 51st National Pharmacy Week. The event is being organized by JSS College of Pharmacy and Indian Pharmaceutical Association at the college campus here on Tuesday.
"Every year, tens of thousands of graduates pass out from colleges, but still, the industry is not finding them suitable because they are not competent enough to handle the assignments. Today, industry wants job-ready candidates. They are not ready to invest for training, which may take six months to one year," he said adding: "Mere degrees will not a fetch graduates lucrative jobs in the present competitive world. Students need to focus on their goals and hone skills required for specific jobs, besides keeping themselves abreast of all the latest developments in the industry."
Earlier, Semler Research Centre Private Ltd chief scientific officer Dr Suresh Venkataram said students should prepare themselves to take on big challenges, than mere settling for a jobs after graduation.
This year's event, themed on 'Pharmacist in public health', aims at creating awareness among general public about the role of pharmacists in public health. Public rally, health camp, blood donation camp and guest lectures will mark the celebrations. National Pharmacy Week is celebrated every year in the last week of November.
On the occasion, 26th volume of college magazine 'Jaspharm' was released, and around a dozen of students donated blood. College principal H G Shivakumar was present.
This is a funny news considering the state of the PCI knowledge of pharmacy. they themselves do not know the defination of the word "Pharmacist" when asked for the same in an RTI application.
This blog contains the information which was once useful for atleast for some situations or was worth reading.
