Pharmacy, the health procession concerned with Knowledge about drugs and their effects, draws from the chemical , physical, biological and behavioral sciences. It offers diverse opportunities in India and around the world. Pharmacists may practice in community or hospital pharmacy; a nursing home or extended care facility; pharmaceutical industry; biotechnology industry and other private or public companies; government agencies, a college or many other avenues. Not only are pharmacy graduates among America’s best paid and most respected professionals, but health care trends make pharmacy a nearly recession proof career choice. Thus pharmacy is ultimately linked with Health care and so has a direct bearing on human welfare.

Thus JNTU H became the first university in Hyderabad City to impart pharmacy education and to cater to the needs of Pharmaceutical industry.
