PETA India Offers Free Simulation Software to India’s Pharmacology Educators

Following initiatives by PETA India, forward-thinking scientists, and others, the Medical Council of India (now the National Medical Commission) and Pharmacy Council of India forbade the use of animals to train undergraduate medical and pharmacy students, favouring non-animal techniques instead. The University Grants Commission also banned the use of animal dissection in life sciences and zoology courses.
