Dear fellow Pharmacists of the Indian Pharmaceutical Association, Local branch, Alephata.

I am delighted to greet you all as members of this professional organization. IPA local chapter was established with the vision of uniting all the Pharmacy colleges within a 50 km radius of Alephata. This local chapter offers a platform for all students and faculty of the 13 colleges to participate in the activities of the Pharmacy Profession.

We, at the IPA Local branch, are dedicated to provide value-added quality education along with overall development with a positive attitude, skills, and abilities to apply knowledge in order to produce quality pharmacists to meet the emerging challenges of tomorrow. We emphasize and create opportunities for the participating students and faculty to explore their strengths and realize their potential by organizing co-curricular (seminars, workshops & guest lectures), cultural, and sports activities under the banner of IPA local branch, Alephata.

We appreciate that a lot of hard work has gone into the formation of the local chapter. This shows that besides excellence in academics, our talent also includes our knowledge of literature, fine arts, culture, and sports. This has also taught us the importance of hard work, discipline, and teamwork.

We hope that the local chapter grows from strength to strength in the years to come in shaping the budding Pharmacists to cater to national as well as global demands of professional activities of the Pharmacy Profession.
