It gives me immense pleasure to pen a few words for our e-bulletin. At the onset I would like to thank the
last years editors and congratulate the newly selected editors for the current year.
Our first consideration is always in the best interest of the students. Our goal is to promote academic
excellence and continuous improvement.
I believe that excellence in education is aided by creating a learning environment in which all learners are
supported in maximizing their potential and talents. Education needs to focus on personalized learning
and instruction, while promoting an education system that is impartial, universally accessible, and meeting
the needs of all students.
It is of paramount importance that our learners have sufficient motivation and encouragement in order to
achieve their aims. We are all very proud of you, our students, and your accomplishments and look
forward to watching as you put your mark on the profession in the years ahead.
The call of the time is to progress, not merely to move ahead. Our progressive Management is looking
forward and wants our Institute to flourish as a Post Graduate Institute of Excellence. Steps are taken in
this direction and fruits of these efforts will be received by our students in the near future. Our Teachers
are committed and dedicated for the development of the institution by imparting their knowledge and play
the role of facilitator as well as role model to our students.
The Pharmacy profession is thriving with a multitude of possibilities, opportunities and positive
challenges. At Guru Nanak Institute of Pharmaceutical Science and Technology, our focus is on holistic
needs of our students.
I am confident that the students of GNIPST will recognize all the possibilities, take full advantage of the
opportunities and meet the challenges with purpose and determination.
Excellence in Education is not a final destination, it is a continuous walk. I welcome you to join us on
this path.

HISTORICAL ARTICLE
THOMAS NEWCOMEN
Thomas Newcomen was a prominent British engineer, best known
for inventing the atmospheric steam engine, which was the worlds
oldest known steam engine for pumping water. The Newcomen
engine largely influenced later designs such as James Watts
engine.
Career:
Born in Dartmouth, Devon, England, Thomas Newcomen initially
worked as an ironmonger at Dartmouth. Since flooding was a
major problem in the area, Newcomen, with the help of a plumber
named John Calley, extensively worked on a steam pump, which
was found to be much efficient than Thomas Saverys conventional
crude pump.
In this design, the intensity of pressure was not restricted by the
pressure of the steam. Newcomen devised the internal-condensing
jet for producing a vacuum in the cylinder and an automatic valve
gear.
The first operational Newcomen engine was built in 1712 near
Dudley Castle, Staffordshire. It proved to be a very efficient and
cost-effective tool for drainage of mines and raising water to power
waterwheels.
Later Life and Death:
Thomas Newcomen died on August 5, 1729 in London, England.
He was 65 years old.
