The only way to reduce its incidence is by active pharmacovigilance system. The lack of awareness and knowledge on how to report ADRs have led to poor reporting. Hence the present study was conducted to assess the perception and attitude of pharmacovigilance programme among junior doctor. It is a cross sectional, observational, questionnaire based study that was carried out using a predesigned questionnaire. Study was conducted after the permission of Institutional Ethical Committee (IEC). This study includes 240 junior doctors (Intern and P.G student). 25 questions were asked on different aspect to assess the knowledge awareness and practice about pharmacovigilance.  The questionnaire was assessed and analyzed and data has been presented as percentages. After analyzing the data, we observed that 92.27% junior doctors correctly know the meaning and purpose of pharmacovigilance. (97.72%) junior doctorâ€™s belief reporting of ADR is necessary, but 53.17% junior doctors donâ€™t know how and where to report ADR. 70% junior doctors have not received training on reporting of ADR(s). Top 3 reasons which discourage reporting ADR are lack of access to ADR reporting form, difficult to decide whether ADR has occurred or not, lack of time to report ADR. Most of the junior doctorâ€™s suggested that reporting of ADR is to be made easy and accessible, regular and timely training session on ADR reporting will be helpful for increasing ADR reporting. Junior doctors have good knowledge about Pharmacovigilance and know about the importance of reporting ADR however most of them have not adopted the practice of reporting ADR as they are not aware of the process of reporting ADR and how to get the ADR reporting forms and a dilemma about the certainty of ADR. Proper and timely training session can resolve such problems and enhance the reporting procedure for the ADRs. Regular training to utilize the modern evolving technologies such as ADR reporting app could highly be beneficial to promote the practice of reporting as well as saving of the time and paper.</Abstract><Email>drpiyushpujara@gmail.com</Email><articletype>Research</articletype><volume>8</volume><issue>1</issue><year>2018</year><keyword>Pharmacovigilance, Adverse drug reaction, Health care professional, Junior doctors.</keyword><AUTHORS>Poonam Patel,Jay Shah,P.
