Four Decades of Pharmaceutical Excellence

Sri Adichunchanagiri College of Pharmacy (SACP), established in 1981, is one of the premier pharmacy institutions in Karnataka. Nestled on a 62-acre campus amidst the Adichunchanagiri hills in B.G. Nagara, the college operates under the Sri Adichunchanagiri Shikshana Trust and is a constituent unit of Adichunchanagiri University.

Over four decades, SACP has produced more than 4,000 graduates — over 80% from rural backgrounds and 58% women — advancing the pharmacy profession across India and beyond. With NAAC A+ accreditation, consistent NIRF rankings in the top 100, and NBA-accredited programs, the college stands as a benchmark for pharmaceutical education, research, and community service.

Students benefit from access to a 1,500-bed teaching hospital (Adichunchanagiri Hospital & Research Centre), state-of-the-art laboratories, a CCSEA-approved animal house, and an extensive medicinal garden with 90+ plant species — providing an unmatched blend of theoretical learning and clinical exposure.
