The pharmacist plays a vital role and acts between a physician and the patient as a key chain. A pharmacist is necessary, according to the Drugs and Cosmetic Act and the Pharmacy Act, wherever and everywhere there is medicine. Pharmacists are the only authorized practitioners who can manage drugs at all levels. After a doctor, pharmacists are the only specialists in the health sector, and the whole health sector will collapse without a pharmacist. In the pharmaceutical industry, which is one of the key players in India’s economy, a pharmacist’s talent, dedication, and effort can never be replaced. Even at the retail worktop of a dispenser’s shop in any portion of India where a pharmacist is present, there is a sense of belief and gratification among patients who are prescribed medicinal products by a registered medical practitioner. In terms of production, India is the third-largest producer of pharmaceutical products and is rising steadily. The industry has seen the arrival of many international companies and the growth of many domestic producers. The allopathic method of medicine arose in the western nations and was founded in India during British rule in our land. Although the idea and theory of modern medicine have evolved, the pharmacist’s position in India has remained static. Although the pharmacist has a very significant role in the health sector, it has been limited to the dispensing of medicines in India. In almost all the states in India, there has been a vacuum in the periodic recruitment of pharmacists. There are some states where the last recruitment was held decades ago for vacant pharmacist vacancies. The need for the development of a new pharmacist job is ample over time, but no government has ever taken a serious note of this. After the NRHM came into being, the need for pharmacists in the health care sector has been attempted to be changed by contractual appointments. Infringement of Drug & Cosmetic Acts & Rules has been everyday news. While pharmaceutical firms are mushrooming, whether marketed or generic, very few have their R&D department and quality management. This has created enough chances to make a quick buck for those who are in the pharmacy industry. Therefore, the IPA called on the central government to improve and develop the new drug control department and drug testing laboratories whenever necessary at the central / state level. Via this, the government, on the one hand, will be able to regulate and track the production efficiency, promotion, and selling of drugs efficiently and, on the other hand, will be able to provide many unemployed pharmacists with job opportunities. If it is D.Pharm, B.Pharm, M.Pharm, or Pharm. D, the students who are taking pharmacy courses are currently uncertain about their potential opportunities. By clearing the roadblocks on their career fronts, the PCI should come out and lead the way for these upcoming pharmacists. If you don’t, so Govt. The renovation of the Pharmacy Council of India should be sincerely regarded because the PCI has so far neglected to resolve all the big issues relevant to the profession and future of the pharmacist in India.
