14-126/2016-PCI
It has been
noted by the PCI that –
a) as per the statutory provision of
Pharm.D. Regulations, 2008, there is a requirement of 300 bedded hospitals.
b) some
North Eastern States and hilly regions of India, hospitals with 300 bed
strength are not available. As a result
these areas are not able to have Pharm.D course. The matter was considered by the Executive
Committee of the Council in its meeting held in Feb, 2017 which decided to
approve the following draft amendment in Regulation 2) of “Appendix-B” of the
Pharm.D. Regulations, 2008.

sign the MOU with District Headquarters hospitals with available bed strength
for providing clinical training to students.

- As
per the statutory provisions of Pharm.D Regulations, 2008, there is a
requirement of 300 bedded hospital.
- However,
in some North Eastern States and hilly regions of India, hospitals with 300 bed
strength are not available.
- As
a result, these areas of India are not able to start the Pharm.D course.
- Hence this amendment is proposed to give opportunity to students
of these areas to undergo a Pharm.D course in their states only.
