Andhra University is not just one of the oldest educational institutions in the country, but is also the first to be conceived as a residential and teaching-cum-affiliating University, mainly devoted to post-graduate teaching and research. The people of the State have an emotional attachment to the institution, since it came into being after a prolonged and collective struggle of the Telugu elite for a University in the educationally backward northern Circars and Ceded districts of the erstwhile Madras Presidency. Andhra University was constituted in the year 1926 by the Madras Act of 1926. The 86-year-old institution is fortunate to have Sir C.R. Reddy as its founder Vice-Chancellor, as the steps taken by this visionary proved to be fruitful in the long run.

ABSTRACT
Most ocular diseases are treated with topical eye drops. The poor bioavailability and therapeutic response exhibited by these conventional eye drops due to rapid precorneal elimination of the drug may be overcome by the use of insitu gelling systems that are instilled as drops into the eye and undergo a sol-to-gel transition in the cul-de-sac. The aim of the present investigation is to formulate and evaluate  in situ ocular gelling system of  Moxifloxacin hydrochloride and Ketorolac tromethamine using Gellan gum as gelling polymer and Hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose(HPMC K₄M) as release retardant. The formulations were evaluated for clarity, pH measurement, gellingcapacity, drug content estimation, rheological study, in vitro drug release andsterility testing. Results showed that all formulations were clear and showed pH within the range of 6.0-7.4. All formulation exhibited pseudo plastic rheology.Six different formulations with different concentration of Gellan gum(0.1%w/v,0.3%w/v,0.5%w/v) and HPMC K₄M(0.1%w/v,0.2%w/v)were prepared which was found to have drug content of 99-100% for both drugs.Gellan gum 0.3%w/v with0.1%w/v HPMC K₄M formulation having 87.10%ofMoxifloxacin hydrochloride and 94.17% ofKetorolac tromethamine showing sustained drug release up to12 hours.
