APGEA Urges Immediate Suspension of Presidential Order‑2025 on Zonal System

The All India Pharmacy Graduates’ Association (APGEA) has formally sought the immediate suspension of the Presidential Order‑2025, which introduces a zonal system for pharmacy education and licensing. The order, issued by the President of India, is set to reorganise the allocation of seats and examination centres across different zones. APGEA argues that the new system could disadvantage students from certain regions and create inequities in access to professional training. The association has filed its request with the appropriate authorities, urging a halt to the implementation until the concerns are addressed. The government has yet to respond to the petition, and the future of the zonal system remains uncertain.
