It has approximately 35,000 odd members in all over West Bengal and the motto of the organization is the “Service to Humanity”. Since its inception in 1921, under the Companies Act 1913, the association is providing consistent services to the society & its members, which provides an opportunity to the BCDA authority to understand scarcity of qualified pharmacists in the areas like medical shop, community & hospital services, nursing homes, clinical pharmacies etc., and also realized that the number of pharmacists catering in West Bengal are not enough. To face challenges ahead in the profession of pharmacy and also to fulfill the cherished dream of few predecessors, BCDA ventured to start a pharmacy college under own management and founded BCDA Members Benevolent Trust.
