National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research (NIPER)
NIPER was established by the Government of India to cater to the long-standing demand for setting up a dedicated nodal for quality higher education and advanced research in the pharmaceutical sciences. Colonial rule in an era of rapid advancement of sciences and technology had left the once a land of pioneers in sciences a few decades behind the frontline researchers. On the lines of similar initiatives in engineering/technology (the Indian Institutes of Technology, Indian Institute of Science, National Institutes of Technology), medicine (AIIMS), and management (Indian Institutes of Management), the policy makers made a humble start in the field of pharmaceuticals. Therefore an autonomous body was set up under the aegis of Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers, Government of India.
The Institute is conceived to provide leadership in pharmaceutical sciences and related areas not only within the country, but also to the countries in South East Asia, South Asia and Africa. NIPER is a member of Association of Indian Universities and Association of Commonwealth Universities. The institute was declared as an Institute of National importance by Government of India through Act of Parliament ( NIPER Act 1998 & NIPER amendment Act 2007).
