Prof. Deependra Singh
Chairman, Local Organising Committee
APTICON 2026
Dear Respected Teachers, Esteemed Colleagues, and Members of the Pharmacy Fraternity,
It is with great warmth and a deep sense of honour that I extend to you, on behalf of the Local Organizing Committee, a heartfelt invitation to APTICON 2026 — the 28th Annual National Convention of the Association of Pharmaceutical Teachers of India, to be held on 24–25 October 2026 in Raipur, Chhattisgarh.
For us in Chhattisgarh, this is more than an event — it is a moment of pride and gratitude. Nearly two decades after our state branch hosted APTICON at Bilaspur in 2008, we once again have the privilege of welcoming our pharmacy fraternity home to Chhattisgarh. This convention is being organized by the APTI Central Zone, bringing together the collective strength of Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, and Jharkhand, and is hosted by the APTI Chhattisgarh State Branch, in warm association with the University Institute of Pharmacy, Pt. Ravishankar Shukla University, Raipur.
APTICON 2026 carries a theme close to every teacher's heart — “Pharma Teacher's Sankalp: Viksit Pharmacist for Atmanirbhar Bharat” — a reflection of the quiet resolve each one of us carries every day in our classrooms and laboratories, shaping tomorrow's pharmacists who will build a self-reliant India.
Over these two days, we hope to create space not just for keynote lectures, research presentations, and academic discourse, but for the kind of conversations, friendships, and shared learning that truly sustain our profession. This is your convention — a coming together of teachers, researchers, students, and industry partners, united by a common purpose.
Chhattisgarh looks forward to welcoming you with open arms and warm hospitality. Come, be part of this journey — let us reflect, reconnect, and renew our collective sankalp together.
