With profound pride, I introduce Renaissance, the annual magazine of LJ Institute of Pharmacy, LJ University, Ahmedabad. This edition stands as a testament to our steadfast dedication to academic rigor, ground-breaking research, and transformative innovations, while honouring the extraordinary accomplishments of our students, faculty, and alumni.

This year, we honor the visionary legacy of Professor B.M. Peerzada, Founder of L J university. His enduring inspiration fuels our relentless pursuit of excellence.

We are also proud to highlight our recent NBA accreditation and five-star GSIRF ranking, underscoring our dedication to providing exceptional quality education.  Within these pages, you'll discover a rich tapestry of achievements, from pioneering faculty research and student triumphs to insightful guest lectures and scientific breakthroughs. Notably, we feature an exclusive interview with Mr. Nirav K. Mehta (CEO, CORONA Remedies Ltd.), and a deeply impactful interview with an individual affected by drug addiction, shedding light on critical social realities.

The Magazine Renaissance also provides a vibrant platform for our students, showcasing their diverse talents and passions.  It celebrates their ability to creatively think beyond beakers, HPLC and chemicals, featuring inspiring poems, captivating artwork and much more.

I deeply appreciate the tireless efforts of the editorial team and contributors who brought this dynamic edition of Renaissance to fruition. May it serve as a constant source of inspiration, upholding the esteemed tradition of excellence at LJ University, Ahmedabad.
