In our Institute students work in an environment where they are stretched and challenged and have their expectations raised to achieve demanding targets. Such success is a result of the partnership between the College, the students, Our Society (SPM) and parents through our commitment to parental engagement. I am very proud of all the faculty members for their excellent nurturing of the students to inculpate curricular, co-curricular, ethical, moral and spiritual and core values such as nationalism, so that the goals of the society can be achieved.

The Institute (GKIP) was established by Late Dr. Pramilatai Tople the Ex-President (SPM) and Health Minister Government of Maharashtra to uplift the social, educational status and to promote health of society.

The fresh outs from different junior colleges come to GKIP and receive education and training in the various aspects of pharmaceutical sciences and after two years emerge as efficient pharmacy professionals. Here at GKIP, we believe in the growth of the students just not on the academic front but look forward to the overall development of our students.

With high moral values, our students blend professionalism with a sense of social responsibility so as to be recognized as dutiful citizens of this country. Over the last 40 years many of our students have made us proud. Every year the academic excellence is reflected by the number of students that emerge as distinction holders at the MSBET examinations. At the same time our students also actively participate in the intercollegiate events like paper presentation, poster presentation, state level and national level pharma quiz and lot of other extra-curricular activities throughout the year.
