(Association of Degree/Diploma Pharmacists)
Our History & Heritage - A Legacy of Professional Advocacy
The story of the Chhattisgarh Pharmacists Association is deeply intertwined with the history of the state itself.
• Foundation: Registered on December 11, 2001 (Registration No. 81), the Association was formed during a time when pharmacy-qualified individuals were few.
• The First Milestone: Our journey of formal advocacy began with our first state-level meeting on January 19, 2003, at Moti Bagh, Raipur. This gathering set the stage for decades of activism.
• Expansion: From those early days in Raipur, we have grown into a powerhouse organization. Today, CPA operates through active units in every Division and District of Chhattisgarh, ensuring that the voice of every pharmacist is heard, regardless of their location.
