Immediate Past-President, IPA – Ananthapuramu Branch

First and foremost, I would like to convey my gratitude to the Editorial Board, Staff and students of RIPER for continuing of bringing out a college newsletter volume 2. I take great interest in informing you about the release of second issue of the RIPER Pharma Newsletter. This newsletter talks about the Faculty and student achievements, Faculty recognitions, ongoing research projects, research papers, conferences, various co-curricular and extracurricular activities which make RIPER one of the leading education center in India. I hope that this newsletter encourages many staff and students to use it as a platform to express their creativity. In this volume we have tried to compile last one year (2018) events and achievements.

The ways we teach and the ways our students learn are unique and creative. Consistently, we never hesitated to look into our deficiencies and transform us to an efficient agent of social change. Many critics would confirm that the College has substantially contributed to the process of National Development by providing quality education and thereby enabling the students to become globally competent. This will certainly go a long way in enhancing quality in education in accordance with the objectives of the institution and in serving society at large with sensitivity and commitment. We envisage, in the coming years, an interdisciplinary research in pharmaceutical sciences. Education is not an act of acquiring knowledge but learning a skill to lead life and forming one’s personality. This is an ennobling process of growth. I can boldly say that we have excelled in every initiative that we undertook and we have stood together in facing the challenges in realizing quality education. In all this, we have made every effort to be sensitive and compassionate to the marginalized and the people in need. I feel happy when the bright and talented students perform remarkably well, moving towards excellence.

Last but not least, I would like share that the entire team of the institution includes management, heads, faculty, staff and students. Our institution believes that “Quality is the matter to excel forever and to exist as well in any arena”.

Thank you, and Regards….
