On 20th September 2023, Dr. J. Suresh, HOD, Dept. of Pharmacognosy along with Nabanita Dey Ph.D. scholar and Lalhmunsiami M.Pharm student visited Kottakkal Arya Vaidya Sala Industry, Nanjannagud, Mysuru and Supreem Pharmaceuticals, Mysuru. During the visit, Dr. Arun, Manager, Kottakkal Arya Vaidya Sala Industry, provided a comprehensive tour of the facility, explaining the entire process from the arrival of raw materials to the storage of packaging materials. The Factories operate on manufacturing license issued by the Drugs Controllers. The basic principles and practices of medicine manufacture are still based on the specifications in the classical text books. There are several electro-mechanical equipment's which are employed for achieving efficiency in production. The production activity is scheduled by the Production Planning Unit. It draws up annual/monthly / weekly / daily production schedule by taking into account the requirement of the Marketing Department and by maintaining a close association with the Materials Department, Factory Managers and Finance Department. The operations of the Factories are supported by Personnel Department, QA Department, Engineering Department, R&D and Product Development Department. QA Department has a well-equipped laboratory and trained chemists. They carry out regular analytical tests to ensure the quality of raw materials as well as that of finished products. Standards specified by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) are generally followed in the QC Laboratory. The QC Certificate issued by the QA Department forms an integral part of the Batch Manufacturing Record (BMR) of every product. In the case of finished products, the Pharmacopoeial Standards specified by the Government of India are followed. A high-level Quality Control Cell comprising senior physicians examines samples from every batch of products. Overall, the visit provided valuable insights into the workings of the pharmaceutical industry's manufacturing unit and its procedures.
