Principal KM Kundnani College of Pharmacy, Mumbai

Principal K.M.Kundnani College of Pharmacy, Mumbai was established in 1971 under the aegis of Hyderabad (Sind) National Collegiate Board, Mumbai. The management belongs to Sindhi Minority community and has obtained the minority status for its institutions from the Hon’ Bombay High Court in 1989 and interim orders for Prin.K.M.Kundnani College of Pharmacy from Hon’ Supreme Court effective 1994.
                                            The ‘soul’ of the institute is the highly qualified and dedicated faculty skilled in usage of modern tools for pedagogy. Furthermore, the institute has roped in senior and highly qualified visiting faculty for teaching ancillary subjects. A strong bolster of support is the administrative and other non-teaching staff of the college which has helped raise the educational bar. The faculty, administrative and non-teaching staff,and students make the “KMK family”.
The institute has a very positive and progressive attitude. Considering academic performance, research, infrastructure facilities, inbuilt systems and ingrained culture, the B. Pharm. course was accredited twice by the NBA in the years 2001 and 2009 respectively. This clearly underlines the high academic and administrative standards set by the institute. In the 21st century, the pharmacy education shall need new vistas in designing curriculum to understand newly bred disciplines such as Biotechnology, Bioinformatics, Drug targeting, Cell & tissue engineering, Pharmacogenetics, Proteomics and newer Biomaterials among others. Hence, the study of Pharmaceutical Sciences in the 21st century may undergo a sea change to include newer concepts, novel curricula and a modern professional outlook. This warrants a spectral vision to bring about paradigm shifts and stoic strength to take up challenges in the process.
