Maliba Pharmacy College Bardoli.

Our pharmacy college is situated on the Mahuva Road, part of the Uka Tarsadia University setup here in the Surat district. If you drive down from Bardoli, you'll see the campus spread out. It’s a busy place with people coming in from all the nearby villages and towns like Vadodara. The focus here is strictly on pharmacy, so you see a lot of lab coats and students carrying thick chemistry books. We have various labs where they spend hours looking at mixtures and learning about how medicines are put together. The weather in this part of Gujarat can get quite humid, so the fans are always humming in the background. It is a big campus, so there is a lot of walking between the different buildings and the canteen. We have a routine that revolves around the university calendar, with semesters and practical exams taking up most of the time. It’s not the kind of place where things are always quiet; there is always someone heading to a lecture or working on a project in the library. People stay here for several years to get their degrees, so you get to see them grow up quite a bit. It’s a functional environment designed for students who are serious about their pharmacy studies. Just a regular part of the university life on the road to Mahuva. We don't spend much time on anything other than the classes and the practical work that needs to be done each day.
