This facility is availed not only by students, research scholars and teaching faculty of our department but by all those departments in the university who are carrying research work on animals. 10. Since my inception in the department as lecturer on substantative basis in May 1991, made representations to different quarters, committees, authorities of the University regarding abolition of undergoing M.Phil after completion of M.Pharm in case of Pharmacy students and direct admission to Ph. D programme in Pharmacy as was the case in other pharmacy institutions of the country. It was only at the time of the then Dean Academic Affairs, Prof S .Fayaz Sahib (our present Worthy Registrar), who took the matter seriously. Documentary evidence of 29 UGC/AICTE approved departments/ institutions of the country imparting different pharmacy courses to students in the country were submitted to the authorities and ultimately in 2007 decision was taken by the authorities of Kashmir university regarding Undergoing M.Phil course after completing M.Pharm and before joining PhD programme was abolished and our programmes coducted in Pharmacy were made at par with other institutions of the country. 11.

The greatest achievement, which I consider, is making the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences survive the turmoil, when there was not a single person from the profession in the Department and it was at the verge of closure, with only our present H.O.D being in the permanent faculty. After joining the Department in 1990, being the only permanent member from Pharmacy field in the teaching faculty, shouldered maximum burden for about 8 yrs., of teaching different subjects in theory, conducting Practicals, getting the examiners from outside and conducting examinations when another permanent lecturer joined the department in 1997. 15 Refresher Courses/ Seminars / Summer Institutes /Workshops/ Conferences/Symposia attended at National and International level I.
