Only Registered Pharmacists Can Be Registrar: Rajasthan Council's New Rule

According to the updated provisions, the move is intended to strengthen transparency, improve professional accountability and ensure that policy decisions, licensing functions and administrative responsibilities within the Pharmacy Council remain in the hands of trained and duly registered pharmacists. Officials noted that questions had been repeatedly raised in the past regarding the appointment of individuals from non-pharmacy backgrounds, which had led to professional concerns within the sector.

The development was reported by Dainik Bhaskar, which highlighted the rule changes introduced by the Rajasthan Pharmacy Council and the rationale behind ensuring that only pharmacists oversee the functioning of the council.

With this policy change, stakeholders believe the participation, oversight and influence of pharmacists in regulatory, educational and licensing matters will become more robust in the coming years.
