Raghu College Of Pharmacy

We are located out in Dakamarry Village, which is a bit of a way from the main parts of Visakhapatnam. The pharmacy college has been here for years, and we have a lot of students coming from across Andhra Pradesh to study with us. It’s a quiet spot, which is actually good for focusing on the heavy textbooks and lab work. We have labs filled with all the usual equipment you’d expect for pharmacy training. It is a lot of hard work, both for the students and the staff. We aren't trying to be a fancy university with big slogans; we just want to make sure the people who leave here actually know how to handle medicines and help patients. The buildings are functional and we spend most of our budget on keeping the labs up to date rather than painting the walls. Sometimes the commute from the city can be a bit long, but the students manage it. We have instructors who have spent their lives in the field, so they don't sugarcoat things. It’s a practical education here. If you come by, you’ll see people in white coats mostly looking at vials or writing down notes. That’s what our days look like. We’ve been doing this for a long time and we just keep plugging away at it. It is just about getting the work done and training the next group correctly.
