It gives me immense pleasure to share the journey and achievements of Annasaheb Dange College of B. Pharmacy (ADCBP), an institution established in 2016 under the visionary leadership of the Hon. Former Minister, Dr. Annasaheb Dange, with the noble objective of providing quality Pharmacy education to students from rural and underserved regions. Now institute is offering D.Pharm,B, Pharm and M. Pharm (Pharmacology and Pharmaceutics).
The accreditation of our institute by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) with an ‘A+’ Grade and a CGPA of 3.48, along with the NBA accreditation of the D. Pharmacy program ,further consecutively five years of Shivaji University Kholapur merit ranks and excellent grade in academic audit by Shivaji University Kholapur(SUK)/Maharashtra State Board of Technical Education (MSBTE)stands as a strong testament to our unwavering commitment to academic excellence, quality assurance, and transparent governance. These milestones reflect the collective efforts of our faculty, staff, students, and all stakeholders who continuously strive for excellence.
At ADCBP, we firmly believe that pharmacy education must extend beyond classroom learning. We emphasize impactful research, innovation, and the development of a strong scientific temper. Our faculty members and students are actively involved in high-quality research addressing contemporary healthcare challenges.

We have adopted Outcome-Based Education (OBE), learner-centric teaching methodologies, transparent evaluation systems, and robust student support services to ensure holistic development. Our focus is not only on imparting knowledge but also on nurturing critical thinking, professional competence, ethical values, and social responsibility among our students.
I assure all stakeholders—students, parents, industry partners, alumni, and society at large—of our steadfast commitment to nurturing competent, research-oriented, and ethically grounded pharmacy professionals who can contribute meaningfully to the healthcare sector.
Let us continue to work together in our shared mission to advance knowledge, serve society, and shape the future of pharmacy education.
