Under the aegis of The Sikh Education Society, Gurunanak Technical Institute (Diploma in Pharmacy) was established in the year of 1983. The main aim of starting this D.Pharm course was to promote the self employement among the youth and hence to help in reducing unemployement. Since then the Gurunanak Technical institute by offering highly qualified faculty and quality infrastructure and facilities has been a reference standard for many other institutes running similar courses. In the subsequent years graduate (2004) and postgraduate courses(2009) in the pharmacy were also introduced. The college is situated on 10 acres of land away from the hustle & bustle of busy city traffic, in the peaceful area of Nari which is very well within the Nagpur city limits near to Pili river. A spacious, well planned, well lit, well ventilated building surrounded by the lush green campus is many neghbour's envy. The college has been successful in imparting quality education in pharmacy at all levels throughout these years and it is also providing a well equipped platform to carry out the research activities that are recognized at both national and international levels.
The college has the excellent library and information center which acts as a primary source of knowledge and information. It is spacious, well-lit with natural light, and provides a comfortable and encouraging reading environment to its readers. Students have the privilege of availing computer facilities at the Gurunanak College of Pharmacy. The infrastructure includes state-of-the-art computer laboratory. About 80 advanced computers are provided that are sufficiently equipped with the latest tools and software along with Printers and Scanners.
