Speaking on the occasion of inaugural session, Dr Zabeer Ahmed, Director, CSIR-IIIM Jammu, described the programme as an opportunity to bridge classroom learning with real-world industrial practice.
He said that while students may study pharmaceutical manufacturing theoretically, practical exposure to a WHO-compliant Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) facility provides understanding of actual product development standards followed by the industry.
He encouraged students to consider themselves future members of the scientific ecosystem and make full use of the training period.
Earlier, Dr Saurabh Saran, Senior Principal Scientist and Principal Investigator, CSIR IIIM-TBI, termed the programme a first-of-its-kind initiative designed specifically around cGMP operations.
