AACP PHARMACEUTICAL SOCIETY

Introduction

A Pharmaceutical Society is a representative structure through which students in post Intermediate studies can become involved in the affairs of the College, working in partnership with College management and staff and parents for the benefit of the Institution and students.

Why we need to have this Pharmaceutical Society?

Students have a valuable contribution to make to the effectiveness of their Institution and their involvement in the operation of the College is itself a valuable part of the education process for the students.

A Pharmaceutical Society provides an opportunity for students to engage in a structured partnership with teachers, parents and college administration in the operation of their Institution. Research indicates that Pharmaceutical Society can improve academic standards and reduce dropout rates in Colleges. Pharmaceutical Society can create a sense of ownership of the college and its activities among the student population.

The establishment of a Student Council gives students

  • An opportunity to acquire the sort of communication, planning and organizational skills which will be of benefit to them in their future lives.
  • It enables students to take responsibility for projects and to demonstrate that they can manage and bring such projects to successful conclusion. Moreover, the contribution made by a Student Council to the development of college policy in a number of areas can have significant benefits for students and the college.
  • Institutional policies are far more likely to be successful where they are clearly understood and accepted by all partners within the student’s community.

At the end of the day, a Pharmaceutical Society will thrive only if students themselves are committed to the concept and to making it work.

The role of the Pharmaceutical Society

The main role of a Pharmaceutical Society as set out in the Education Act is "to promote the interests of the Institution and the involvement of students in the affairs of the College, in co-operation with the board, parents and teachers".

A Pharmaceutical society will set its own objectives, which will vary from Institution to Institution. Some general objectives included in our Institution are:

  • To enhance communication between students, management, staff and parents
  • To promote an environment conducive to educational and personal development of the students.
  • To promote friendship and respect among pupils
  • To support the management and staff in the development of the Institution
  • To represent the views of the students on matters of general concern to them

A Pharmaceutical Society will identify activities that it would like to be involved in organizing, although the final decision on the activities of a Council should be agreed with Institutional management.

How Pharmaceutical Society Helps to the Institution

Pharmaceutical society is an elite, Premier society or body which is elected based on their academic performance. Only top Rank achievers are invited and made involved in this Institutional activity. They become a part of the decision making in conduction of various institutional activities like

  • They become a part of decision making in preparation of academic calendar of events.
  • Members of the Pharmaceutical society become directly responsible in organizing Sports, Cultural and other co-curricular activities for the students.
  • The top office bearers become part of the Official Institutional programmes and occupy dais along with other dignitaries.

This will create a sense of competition amongst the students to Join and become part of the elite club. They need to be toppers; they need to be talented to acquire the top positions in the Pharmaceutical Society.

The Pharmaceutical society comprises of

President (Principal) Vice-President, Gen. Secretary, Joint Secretary, Cultural Secretary, Joint Cultural Secretary, Sports Secretary, Joint Sports Secretary, Magazine Secretary, Joint Magazine Secretary, NSS Secretary, Joint NSS Secretary, Literary secretary & Ladies Representative. Apart from that we have Class captain/Class representative for each class. All these members are elected in a mutual and unanimous decision by the toppers of each class.
