The drugs & pharma industry is a multibillion-dollar business. The expected value of pharma industry will be 1.5 trillion US $ by 2025. India, seasoned in the basics of medicine making, is now starting to take on a more mainstream role in the global drug industry, as a result of recent strengthening of patent law here and cost pressures on name-brand drug makers in the West. Pharmaceutical industry and professionals are playing vital role in shaping up our national economy which leads to ever growing demand of pharmacy professionals not only in the country, but even worldwide. Anticipating this demand the visionary president of ‘Oriental Education Society’, Prof. Javed Khan put the wheels in motion that brought about the existence of OCP.
