On this occasion I would request you to look back at an year full of activity at SPIPS. During 2013, SPIPS achieved several milestones, which were captured by the SPIPS Bulletin. DIA student chapter was inaugurated at SPIPS and many industrial leaders visited and addressed students on this platform. SPIPS participated in the CII AP Chapter and Life Sciences industry initiative, Project Pragnya, through which resource persons from Industry visited the institute and provided an insight into GxPs to students and faculty. Different SPIPS departments organized one day seminars in various technical areas and SPIPS organized two Pharmacy Practice advanced learning modules very successfully in which resource persons from the USA have offered training sessions in pharmacy practice areas. SPIPS students participated in several events held in SPIPS as well as at other institutes and won prizes in academic, research and sporting events and held the SPIPS flag flying very high. On the community pharmacy front, SPIPS Chapter of IPA-SF held events in several local schools to increase the awareness of TB and its prevention among school children and made them a partner in the mission “Stop TB in my life time”. In addition to all these several SPIPS faculty members achieved distinctions that are note worthy, firstly SPIPS principal Dr. Suresh Bandari received APP Young Scientist award-2013 and the year ended with SPIPS Director, receiving the eminent pharmacist2013 award in 65th IPC in New Delhi. Several scientific papers by SPIPS students and faculty were presented in conferences with in the country and abroad during 2013. All these events were very well captured and published by SPIPS Bulletin. The bulletin was circulated to several academicians and industry personnel and many messages were received complementing the SPIPS Bulletin. The volume 4 of SPIPS Bulletin I am sure will continue to represent all SPIPS activities and achievements during 2014. However I would like this bulletin to graduate from being a news bulletin to a magazine with highly informative articles and features. To achieve this we need contributions from faculty and students from both the B. Pharm, M. Pharm and Pharm. D. streams. I commend the efforts of the editor and editorial team during 2013 and wish all the best to them to bring out another volume of SPIPS Bulletin with more features and attractions. Rao V. S. V.
