Dept of Pharmacy practice introduced an unique programme , titled SAHELI - scheme to provide awareness, help and empower ladies in India with an aim to educate women  on various aspects of family planning . One of the main aims of the program was to evaluate knowledge level of women in rural area, the attitude and practice of family planning,  the drugs/Pills they use, the contraceptive agents they employ and to assess their reproductive morbidity. Pharm D students have visited rural areas and organized various awareness classes to the  village women community about family planning and reproductive morbidity. They also provided information about the pills as well as the  contraceptive they use. Also the dept of pharmacy practice  organized a health screening campaign at pathiripaddam Govt lower primary school in the same village. As a part of the programme, our dept could unify a cluster of health care professional, including pharmacist working in private and public sectors, health inspectors etc under a roof  for the common cause of improving the health.  I acknowledge the team members for their commitment brimmed with  enthusiasm and proposing a novel concept SAHELI for the progression of  women in the community and the highlights have been given in the current issue. Dr Ernest R Anderson has penned an article titled - give and you will receive , where he mentions that pharmacy leaders should  inculcate the habit of giving abundantly in order to get better results.. Also we have two  articles  From Malaysia and Japan  and the first article portrays the community pharmacy practice in Malaysia and  the second article  produces an insight about pharmaceutical education in Japan. Dr Mohanta has presented an article titled- hypnotic solution as intravenous fluid therapy in children needs discontinuation is an intriguing and informative study. Kerala private pharmacy association( KPPA) has felicitated and handed over awards to the  rank holders of Alshifa college of Pharmacy on 4th august 2016 on one day seminar titled Medicine law awareness seminar and the same has been covered in this issue. Let me thank Dr Ernest Anderson, Dr Dr. Ooi Guat See, Dr. Yoko Amagase, Dr. Sarath chandran C, Dr G.P Mohanta for their invaluable benefaction to the news letter. Along with these, coverage  of dept activities assures  all our readers this issue as a premium one.
