Abstract: Jyotish Chandra Ghosh (1870-1957) made significant contributions towards Pharmaceutical and allied fields during his time. In his professional career Ghosh was a late starter; he was forty-two when he graduated in pharmacy from the Manchester University (1912). He worked as pharmaceutical chemist at the Medical Stores Department, Government of India, Madras (1912-18). He took premature retirement and established the School of Chemical Technology at Calcutta. His personal drive and perseverance kept the School going for over two decades. Ghosh had varied interests. Here the focus is on his contributions in the areas of pharmaceutical and technological education, pharmaceutical and chemical industry, and drugs and pharmacy legislations. The present study concludes that the period 1918-28 in particular was largely Ghosh's decade of spearheading the cause of pharmacy and pharmaceutical developments.
