Dr. Bhanuben Nanavati College Of Pharmacy

Living and working around Vile Parle West means you’re always in the middle of everything. Our college is tucked into the Mithibai Campus, which is usually crowded with students from all sorts of backgrounds. We mostly do pharmacy studies here. If you walk into the building, you’ll likely smell the chemicals from the labs on the upper floors. It’s not a quiet place because Mumbai is never quiet. The trains are running nearby and students are always rushing to make it to their early morning lab sessions. We have a lot of glass jars, microscopes, and papers piled up in the staff rooms. It gets a bit chaotic during the monsoon because the campus gets wet and everyone is trying to dry off their umbrellas while heading to class. We don’t have much space for big gardens, so the students mostly hang out in the corridors or near the entrance between their practicals. The administrative office stays busy with forms and fees. People come here because they want to work in medicine shops or big drug companies later. It’s a lot of memorizing formulas and doing experiments that sometimes go wrong. We just keep the place running day by day. It’s a practical kind of school where you learn what you need to and move on. No one here puts on airs. We are just a group of people trying to teach and learn about medicine in this busy city.
