The Centre for cGMP at 365体育投注 College of Pharmaceutical Sciences (MCOPS), 365体育投注 Academy of Higher Education (MAHE), is excited to announce the first-ever "National Current Good Manufacturing Practices Day" or "National cGMP Day", which is scheduled to be held on October 10, 2023. This momentous occasion coincides with the Diamond Jubilee of MCOPS and the 125th Birth Anniversary of its visionary founder, Dr. TMA Pai, Padmashree Awardee.

The purpose of "National cGMP Day" is to create awareness about the critical role of current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) in the pharmaceutical industry, ensuring the quality and safety of medicinal products. Dr. Girish Pai K, Coordinator of the Centre for cGMP, emphasised that this day aims to foster a culture of quality in both academia and the industry.

The choice of October 10th as "National cGMP Day" holds special significance. On this day in 1962, major amendments were introduced by international regulatory agencies following the historic Thalidomide disaster. These amendments revolutionised drug development, requiring manufacturers to scientifically demonstrate the safety and efficacy of medications.

Each year, "National cGMP Day" will focus on important quality issues, including Not of Standard Quality (NSQ) products, Data Integrity issues, Compliance, Stability, Labelling errors, Recalls, Complaints Handling, Manufacturing Assurance, Analytical Assurance, FDA warning letters, Import alerts, Out of Specification, Out of Trend, and more.

Lt Gen (Dr) M.D. Venkatesh, Vice Chancellor of MAHE, and Dr. P Giridhar Kini, Registrar of MAHE, officially unveiled the theme, "cGMP: TRANSFORMING HEALTHCARE," on 7th of July 2023. Vice Chancellor Venkatesh commended the Centre for cGMP for their noble initiative and suggested collaboration with industry bodies to expand the event's reach.

The day will commence with the inauguration, which will be attended by the national president of the IDMA, Dr. Viranchi Shah from Gujarat, the Drug Controller General of India Dr. Rajivsingh Raghuvanshi from Delhi, the Chairman of the Pharmaceuticals Export Promotion Council Dr. S V Veeramani from Hyderabad, President of KDPMA Mr Harish K Jain and leaders of IDMA of all state boards will attend the first meeting to be held in 365体育投注.
