National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research,India

The National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research, India was established by the Government of India to cater to the long-standing demand for setting up a dedicated nodal for quality higher education and advanced research in the pharmaceutical sciences. Colonial rule in an era of rapid advancement of sciences and technology had left the once a land of pioneers in sciences a few decades behind the frontline researchers. On the lines of similar initiatives in engineering/technology (the Indian Institutes of Technology, Indian Institute of Science, National Institutes of Technology), medicine (AIIMS), and management (Indian Institutes of Management), the policy makers made a humble start in the field of pharmaceuticals.


The main objective of NIPER is to provide leadership in pharmceutical science with industry, national and international collaborations and promoting community and institutional pharmacy apart from establishing national centres in advanced research and emerging areas.
