Increased life expectancy coupled with ever-growing rate of literacy and higher income level, have raised the higher demand for quality treatment warranting a sound support system for the doctors. With advancement in medical sciences and concomitant growing demand for qualified and trained personnel in Pharmacy, need for well-qualified industry-ready bright Pharmacy graduates is being felt like never before, more so in West Bengal.

To meet the situation, the entrepreneurs associated with Dr. B. C. Roy Group of Colleges, with support from like-minded professionals founded Dr. B. C. Roy College of Pharmacy and Allied Health Sciences in September, 2005 at the centre of Durgapur Steel City on around four acres of Govt. land procured from ADDA, Govt. of West Bengal.

Like other high-end institutions of Engineering and Management run by the Group, BCRCPAHS, named after the legendry physician Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy, Visionary and Architect of modern West Bengal, is also being designed as a prime institution under the overall management of Dr. B. C. Roy Engineering College Society.

As a primary provider of qualified, trained, industry-ready Pharmacy Graduates, it would benchmark best practices from top-of-the-line learning centers regardless of geographic boundaries and will then leverage the success to cater to other speciality professional education and training services.

Durgapur is one of the first planned 'kinetic-industrial-cities' in the country, set up in the post-independence era, a true-jewel of the Eastern Region. Its leading lights, the integrated Durgapur Steel Plant and Alloy Steel Plant of the Steel Authority of India, and other important industries and research establishments, have given the place a national status. 

The city, less than 3-hours by train from Kolkata, scores 'high' by way of urban comforts, civic and social amenities, low pollution levels. Dramatic improvements over the past decade have given it the infrastructure of a sophisticated business center while retaining the quiet charm of a country-side town.

Dr. B. C. Roy College of Pharmacy and Allied Health Sciences, is located at the distinctive location - in close proximity to vast knowledge-application areas and resources.

Durgapur incidentally has the highest opportunity for Industry-Institute interface and partnership in West Bengal.
