The knowledge gained at L.M College of Pharmacy, combined with the zealous teachers, interactive classes and supportive students, makes LMCP an extraordinary college that I am grateful to have attended. The experience I gained here prepared me not only for academic challenges but also for my future endeavors and hardships faced in life. The four years at LMCP were a very formative experience. Although I entered the world of Forensics, but the foundation in various subjects including Anatomy, Microbiology, Toxicology, Concepts of Chemistry, and the hands-on experience with chemicals, helped me pursue my career in the field of forensics. Last but not the least, four years at LMCP gave lifelong friendships that are as strong today as they were three years ago when we roamed around the LMCP corridors together. It is an elite feeling, all the nostalgia, fond memories, a strong educational foundation and everything that this college offered to me. I am proud to say LMCP is my alma mater.

LM College of Pharmacy is like an Akshaypaatraof knowledge, not only regarding Pharmacy but regarding life itself, which is showing no signs of emptying at all, and is in fact continuously growing, even after almost 75 years. I am still to rationally understand why I feel a huge void within myself if I don’t visit the institute at least once a year, and why the void is filled with peace and satisfaction the moment I step insidethe campus. It is most probably due to the selfless efforts poured into myself by the institute. Getting admission in M. Pharm. here was in itself a dream come true, and getting the opportunity to represent the institute and state in Indian Pharmaceutical Association’s National Elocution Competition just within months was like an icing on the cake. All my Pharmacognosy teachers honed my subject-specific skills, giving me everything they had for my betterment. I always received full support from teachers of other departments as well. On top of all this, I was able to keep myself fit due to the daily Table Tennis and Badminton routine here. Thus, “Holistic Development” were not merely fancy words at LMCP; they were the actual experience. Whatever I learnt and felt in LMCP, I attempted to transfer to my own students and academic environment once I became a teacher, which has contributed immensely in making me reach and sustain where I am today. Proud to be a small speck in the galaxy of stars produced by this institute since decades…

It’s been more than 7 years now that I got graduated and earned my B. Pharm degree with Honours from L. M. College of Pharmacy, Ahmedabad; however, it still feels as recent as yesterday. A young enthusiast from Saurashtra, I relocated to Ahmedabad for higher studies and LMCP has been my second home ever since. L.M. College of Pharmacy was a steppingstone towards my exposure to the world of Pharmaceuticals. Learning different subjects being Pharmacology, Pharmacognosy, Medicinal Chemistry, Pharmaceutics, Microbiology was a great experience under the guidance of highly renowned professors in the field of Pharmaceuticals. Be it Synthesizing Compounds in Medicinal Chemistry Lab or making Tablets from Granules in Pharmaceutics lab or taking a slide section in Pharmacognosy Lab, I miss it a lot! The Pharma Fests, College Days celebrations, Teacher’s Day Celebration, Table Tennis Competitions are some of the fond memories that will be with me for years to come. When I look it at the hindsight, I feel LMCP has played a larger role in my career. Faculties and Friends made at LMCP are no lesser than an extended family and I always make it a point to meet and greet them whenever I am in town. It is my privilege to call myself as an LMCP Alumni.

I am overwhelmed with the opportunity I got to share my journey of 7 years at L. M. College of Pharmacy for the college website. I am really blessed to have such teacher’s and mentor’s in my life from which I learned a lot and have implemented to make my future bright. Supportive faculty and staff, beautiful campus, quality education, real world experiences, and amazing friends, its everything one needs from a college, and a network developed for life. The growth I have seen in myself due to LMCP, is invaluable. It has taught me things far beyond bookish knowledge and helped me broaden my horizons. Students are encouraged to take initiatives and hone leadership skills, so that they can cope with the world outside the campus. With the up to date laboratory facilities, and various software, large libraries on campus as well as online, students can easily access study materials to ensure quality output. There is a canteen facility and the sports grounds keep the students physically active as well. The classes are very interactive and faculties ensure that every student understands what is being taught before proceeding. Courses are challenging, yet very informative and very well organized at LMCP. Two of my most beautiful experiences was getting 2 gold medal for standing university topper (2015) and branch topper (2020) and representing my college at Laurentian University, Sudbury, Ontario Canada in an student exchange program (2017). I have gained so much from LMCP including a bunch of supportive friends for life and genuine supportive faculty who are ready to help me any time even after leaving the college. At my work when I get appreciated for my knowledge and skills I surely make a point to all that the credits goes to my college and my faculty. Learning is a case to case scenario but when you get such an extraordinary support from the college it actually do changes your perspective and goals for life. The most important thing I learnt was that there is no shortcut to success. Today when I look back it literally gets me goose bumps as I am sentimental talking about my time at LMCP. I am a proud LMCPIAN and a passionate pharamcist and I will surely work in development of the same. Thanks to my Alma matter LMCP, my teachers, my management, my seniors and juniors who all make it possible.

It was a turning point in my life when I joined L.M. College of Pharmacy. In the six years of my stay at L. M.

At L. M. C. P I’ve learned, not only chemical steric hindrance but also to defend hindrance in real life. We received support and motivation from the faculty and even from non-teaching staff at L. M. C. P. I wouldn’t have been able to achieve what I have achieved without that caring and supporting environment.
